After three consecutive declines, automakers managed in November to make the largest year-over-year sales gain since February, posting a 3.6 percent gain. However, it took a big jump in incentives to make that happen. Those heavy incentives – now amounting to more than 12 percent of the industry's average transaction price – might be enough for 2016 to topple last year's record by a razor-thin margin. Going into December, U.S. sales were just 6,418 vehicles ahead of last year's pace, an increase of 0.04 percent. November and December have become big months fo...
Analysts didn't expect light vehicle sales will be this strong this November. The annualized selling rate adjusted for seasonal trends reached 17.8 million, the second-fastest pace of the year. While that pace is off from 18.1 million a year earlier, it’s faster than any analyst estimate in surveys. The average projection was for a 17.5 million rate. Automakers’ results released are giving investors new evidence to determine whether the industry’s expansion is coming to an end after a record 2015 -- or if there is more room for economic-driven growth. Concerns ...
U.S. car sales rose more than we were expecting it will be in November, we had an increase of 3.7% of the industry sales, it shattered a record for the month that was set in November 2001. Auto sales rose at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 17.87 million. Economists had estimated that sales rose at a 17.7 million rate. The sales were aided by two extra selling days from a year ago and fueled by Black Friday promotions and while there was concern about shaken consumer confidence after Donald Trump was elected president earlier in the month, car buyers apparently did not hold back.&nbs...
Black Friday sales and the start of year-end deals are helping, but can’t quite disguise that in all probability, retail demand for autos actually softened in November. That’s despite a near-record average discount of $3,886 per unit, up 15% from November 2015. On Thursday, Dec. 1, U.S. automakers are expected to report November sales. The good news is, sales may be softening, but that’s compared with record levels last year. On a pessimistic or realistic note, depending on your point of view, retail auto sales are expected to decline about 2% in November 2016 vs. ...
It seems like U.S. auto sales are on pace for the strongest November ever, four forecasters say, breaking the industry’s streak of three consecutive monthly declines and keeping open the possibility that 2016 can squeak ahead of last year’s record. Big promotions over the long Thanksgiving weekend and two extra selling days in the month are expected to push sales up 4 percent from November 2015. Some companies are projecting 5 percent increase, while others estimate a 2.7 percent gain. The forecasts call for a seasonally adjusted, annualized selling rate of 17.6 million ...
