RBC Capital analyst Joseph Spak raised his price target on General Motors to $52 and kept his Outperform rating, saying the stock is currently is "favorite auto name" based on its "potential massive earnings, attractive valuation, no European exposure, and AV optionality." The analyst also cites GM's potential for a "second derivative improvement" from its China operations, with about 12% of its core auto profits coming from that market. Spak believes that General Motors will generate stronger earnings heading into 2020 and outperform the sector thanks to its new product price/mix, restructuring initiatives, and lower input costs.

After this morning's collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland closed the Port of Baltimore, JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli noted that the port ranks 17th among U.S. ports in tonnage handled, but ranks first for light vehicle imports and is also an important coal export terminal. However, the firm's initial assessment is that this development will "likely only have minimal implications for vehicle inflation" given that many more vehicles are imported over land from Canada and Mexico and that vessels are already being diverted to other East Coast ports. Publicly traded automakers include Ford (F), General Motors (GM), Honda (HMC), Mercedes-Benz Group (DDAIF), Nissan (NSANY), Stellantis (STLA), Tesla (TSLA), Toyota (TM) and Volkswagen (VWAGY).
