As the Ford stock race to set a new all-time high, the company is facing huge challenges even after launching four key vehicle models, which include the 2021 F-150 pickup, the Mustang Mach-E electric SUV, Bronco and also the Bronco Sport SUVs.

Most analysts see it as a desperate move to save the company from the market crisis that left most businesses in need of a fast cure to sustain the operations. “These are all very high-profile vehicles,” said Jeff Schuster, an analyst at LMC Automotive. “Since Ford has teased them for quite some time, it is key to get the launch right,” he added.

“Ford’s next launches just got a whole lot harder. There are two key factors: How they handle coming out of COVID-19 shutdown and protecting the supply chain. If one key supplier goes down, it will completely disrupt the launch,” said Martin French, North American managing director of consultant Berylls Strategy Advisors.

Certainly, the future of Ford stock lies with the adoption rate of the newly launched vehicle models and the confidence investors give the management.
