Ford lost market share in Europe in June, Levy wrote. The company is also making a huge investment in plants and products to increase sales in China. While that's hurting results for this year, the investment will ultimately benefit Ford by propelling auto volumes and profit in the world's No. 2 economy, Levy said. SHARE ACTION: Ford shares fell 3 cents to $9.24 in midday trading. They have traded in a range of $9.05 to $13.44 in the past year, but the stock has fallen about 22 percent in the past three months as conditions in Europe deteriorated.
