JEFF Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Ford was in big trouble before the tariffs were implemented if within 90 days they're rated at junk. AUTOS AIRLINES TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE ROAD AND RAIL AUTOS OUTER SPACE Moody's downgrades Ford's credit rating to one notch above junk bond status Moody's downgraded Ford to one notch above junk bond status Wednesday. The company's debt rating could be cut even further, to non-investment grade, by the middle of next year if it doesn't make "clear progress" on its turnaround plan. Ford is investing an estimated $11 billion in a turnaround plan over the next several years. Robert Ferris | @RobertoFerris Published 4:39 PM ET Wed, 29 Aug 2018 Updated 6:48 PM ET Wed, 29 Aug 2018CNBC.com Andrew Harrer | Bloomberg | Getty Images Jim Hackett, president and chief executive officer of Ford Motor Co., center, speaks to members of the media at an event during the 2018 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Jan. 14, 2018. Moody's downgraded Ford's credit rating to one notch above junk bond status Wednesday and warned that it could be further cut as the Detroit automaker struggles overseas and invests an estimated $11 billion on a turnaround plan. The second-largest U.S. auto manufacturer is facing weakening profit margins in North America, a retrenching business in China, and losses in South America and Europe, at least some of which could continue to worsen, Moody's said in a research note. The investments are necessary, but it will take several years before that translates to better performance, Moody's said. "Success could be challenged by having to address the serious performance problems in multiple business units simultaneously," Moody's said, adding that it was keeping a negative outlook on its credit rating "primarily based on the difficult changes the automaker will have to make." Moody's said the company's debt rating could be cut even further, to non-investment grade, by the middle of next year if it doesn't make "clear progress" on its turnaround plan https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/29/moodys-downgrades-ford-credit-rating-to-one-notch-above-junk-bond.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a deal he said. Drove it a couple weeks and offed it. Vague steering, spongy brakes. I told him all this before he bought it...
