Barclays reiterates an 'Overweight' on Ford (NYSE: F) price target of $13.00 (from $15.00).
Analyst, Brian A. Johnson, said, "Expectations have been reset, but stock may lack a catalyst in the near term. Despite a modest 2Q beat to consensus (30c vs. consensus of 28c) and a strong NA result (EBIT margin of 10.2%), the focus for Ford remains on Europe. While the stock is trading a multi-year low and is currently cheap relative to historical levels (~7.2x our '12 EPS estimate), we are increasingly convinced that the shares lack any catalyst until later in the year when Ford might present a restructuring plan for Europe."
FY12 EPS estimate lowered from $1.50 to $1.24 and FY13 from $1.79 to $1.53.
