FORD MOTOR CO. $18 (New York symbol F; Aggressive Growth Portfolio, Manufacturing & Industry sector; Shares outstanding: 3.9 billion; Market cap: $70.2 billion; Price-to-sales ratio: 0.5; Dividend yield: 2.2%; TSINetwork Rating: Extra Risk; www.ford.com) sold 185,146 vehicles in the U.S. in September 2013, up 5.8% from 174,976 in September 2012. That easily beat the consensus estimate of no increase.

The gain was largely due to a 13.6% jump in passenger car sales, including 62.4% higher sales of its Fusion mid-sized sedan. In addition, truck sales rose 8.3%. However, sport utility vehicle sales declined 4.1%.

Ford is a buy.
