Ford Motor Company (F) Is The Best Pick in the Auto Industry

General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) already has a strong position in the Chinese market, and the company is trying to further improve its market share. GM sells more vehicles in China than anywhere else in the world. The company is looking to increase its dealer network as well as production in the country to capture more sales. In addition, General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) plans to increase Cadillac’s penetration in the market by introducing four new models over the next four years.

Toyota Motor Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:TM) is probably the biggest player in the Asian market. The company is currently trying to increase the penetration of its smaller models such as the Yaris and Vios – these models have done well in Europe, U.S. and Japan, but the company is facing trouble in making them successful in China. It has worked on fuel efficiency and other improvements, but the sales have not picked up. Toyota Motor Corporation (ADR) (NYSE:TM) also faces a political problem in China, which caused the sales of the company to fall in the last year when tension increased between Japan and China over the disputed islands in the East China Sea.

Conclusion

Overall, the auto industry is an extremely attractive investment avenue as most of the companies are growing. However, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) remains the best pick in the sector, in my opinion. The company is growing at an incredible rate, the production is going up to meet the increased demand, and the global operations are also growing at an impressive pace. If you want to invest in a growing company with a solid base, then Ford motors is the best option available in the auto industry.
