GM sets pickup supply target at 100-110 days
DETROIT — General Motors has enough Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups on dealership lots around the country to last until November if sales continue at June’s rate. GM had a 122-day supply of both pickups combined on dealer lots at the end of June. The Automotive News Data Center, which measures vehicles on lots and in transit, says the Silverado’s days supply stood at 124 and the Sierra’s at 115, with a combined stocks of 210,700 units. GM says 100 to 110 days supply for its full-sized pickups will be normal going forward, compared with 60 to 70 days for most models. Peter Nesvold, a Jefferies & Co. analyst, isn’t convinced. Ford Motor Co. has a 79-day supply of its F-series pickup. Nesvold says GM averaged 78 days on hand at year end from 2002 to 2010. “It’s unbelievable that after this huge taxpayer bailout and the bankruptcy that we’re right back to where we were,” Nesvold said in a telephone interview. In a research note he asked: “Is GM falling into old, bad habits?” “Unequivocally no,” Don Johnson, GM vice president of U.S. sales, responded in a July 3 interview. “We’re managing the business to match production with demand.” GM’s target of 100 to 110 days supply of trucks at the end of this year and next year is higher than some rivals’ in part because the Silverado and Sierra have fewer direct sales to fleets, Johnson said. Those orders spend almost no time in inventory, which can lower days supply. Jeff Schuster, executive director of global forecasting at J.D. Power and Associates, said in a phone interview that for pickups, a days supply in the 70s or 80s “isn’t considered high.” But he added, “When you’re north of 100, it suggests there’s too much.” — Bloomberg
