Total Profits of Any Manufacturer?

TommyTheCat · 08-02-2014, 02:07 AM

Not sure if there's something out there about this, if so please point me in the right direction and lock this

I'm just wondering if there's a list of estimated profits or anything similar for each manufacturer. I know there is always usdebtclock.org/auto_sales.html but that only shows how many cars have been sold.

I got thinking about it after realizing that after combining sales Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, and Lincoln and then combining Chevy, Cadillac, GMC, and Buick that GM has actually sold more cars. Obviously there are profits outside of just selling cars but it'd still be interesting to see if GM is actually pulling in more profit in this area or not.

Just for reference at the time I checked there were 1,720,946 GM cars sold and 1,536,521 Fords sold. (Including my combined lists. Under direct name brands, Ford has 200,000 sold more than Chevrolet) So that's 184,425 more cars sold under GM labels than Ford if I'm doing it correctly. I really doubt profits will match that

If the manufacturer is a public company in the U.S. they're required to file quarterly and annual reports. A quick Google search will get you that info;

etc.

Ford Motor Company divested themselves of Jaguar and Land Rover years ago, as part of their ship-righting program. They are both now owned by Tata, an India-based concern.
