China accounted for 136k car sales (YoY -35.8%). The decline could be explained with a lag of new products which are now introduced step by step. The new Ford Focus (+94% Q12019/Q42018) and Ford Territory already gained momentum while the company continuously increases availability of the new models. "Ford China 2.0" is a strategy to drive sales and reshape the business. Ford will introduce 30 new models within three years of which 10 models will be electrified. With the new product lineup, Ford will compete with Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF), Renault (OTC:RNSDF), BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and it is likely that it can increase market share in China again.

Daimler (OTCPK:DDAIF) seems to offer a good risk to reward opportunity at the current price. In EUR terms, the stock trades about 40% lower compared to its peak in 2015 due to investors' concerns about the structural and cyclical issues as well as tariffs as of lately. Yet, with 6.2 P/E ratio and 6.7% dividend yield, it seems it is worth taking the risks.
