Topic:  The U.S. Auto Industry at Structural, Strategic and Financial Crossroads

Speaker:  Kevin Tynan, Director of Research, The Presidio Group

Presentation:

As the structural and strategic dynamics that underpinned the U.S. auto industry since the global financial crisis continue to lose earnings traction, manufacturers and franchised dealerships will be challenged to grow profitable volume.

Manufacturers are entering a technology crisis in which electric and autonomous strategies are not expanding profitability. Franchised dealerships have the revenue and earning diversity to turn focus from new vehicle volume to their other business units.
