瑞银称,福特重组“合情合理”,电动汽车负责人离职或将令投资者不安

By

-- 瑞银证券周四在一份电子邮件报告中指出,福特汽车(F)周三晚间宣布的重组“合情合理”,但电动汽车负责人道格·菲尔德的离职可能会令投资者感到不安。 该公司将其电动汽车、数字化和设计团队与全球工业系统合并,成立了一个新的组织,由首席运营官库马尔·加尔霍特拉领导。作为此次重组的一部分,电动汽车、数字化和设计负责人菲尔德将离开福特。 加尔霍特拉周三在一份声明中表示:“通过将先进技术与工业执行相结合,我们可以更快地做出决策,消除复杂性,并以客户和股东期望的质量和效率交付卓越的汽车和数字化体验。” 瑞银分析师,包括约瑟夫·斯帕克,表示,从整体角度思考产品可以提高效率。 斯帕克写道:“这种重组是合理的。如果能够实现更好的协调,将有助于提高纪律性,并实现更多按时按预算推出的产品。” 福特表示,计划到2029年更新其北美80%的产品组合和全球70%的产品组合。 瑞银表示,菲尔德的离职可能会被视为负面消息,因为他是电动汽车领域的关键领导者。“这可能会让投资者对即将推出的通用电动汽车平台产生质疑,”斯帕克写道。 福特股价周四下跌近2%。 福特表示,艾伦·克拉克已升任高级开发项目副总裁,并将继续领导高级电动汽车开发团队。 “我们相信(克拉克)备受尊敬和喜爱,因此(重组带来的)人才流失、人才流失和执行风险可能有限,”斯帕克写道。
