Portfolio Pulse from Mohit Manghnani
Ford Motor Company is facing regulatory scrutiny over its partnership with Chinese battery manufacturer CATL, labor negotiations that could lead to a strike, and competition in the electric vehicle market against Tesla and Rivian. The regulatory scrutiny is due to concerns that the partnership could compromise national security and increase U.S. dependence on China for electric vehicle supply chains. The labor negotiations could affect wages and benefits for thousands of workers and potentially disrupt Ford's production. Ford is also preparing to compete in the electric pickup market with its F-150 Lightning and upcoming products.
