Analysts have been jumping on media reports that Ford Motor (F, news, msgs) chief Bill Ford had called Carlos Ghosn, chief executive of both France's Renault and Japan's Nissan Motor (NSANY, news, msgs), to propose talks in case Ghosn's discussions with General Motors (GM, news, msgs) lead nowhere by mid-October.
A partnership between the Renault-Nissan alliance and Ford would deliver more synergy benefits than a Renault-Nissan tie-up with GM, analysts said on Thursday.
"A deal with Ford would make far more sense than one with General Motors," Patrice Solaro, Kepler Equities analyst, told Reuters.
"Not only are the synergies between Ford and Nissan on the North American market larger, but in Europe a deal with Ford would also generate more opportunities than with GM," Solaro added. "Ford in Europe is also Jaguar, Volvo, Land Rover, Aston Martin."
Both Renault and Ford have declined comment on the reports.
GM talks losing steam?
In the midst of a media frenzy over a possible GM-Renault-Nissan partnership, Ghosn and GM Chairman Rick Wagoner have been taking a cautious line.
Ghosn has said any decision depends on the synergies that can be realized, while Wagoner is focusing on his own restructuring of the world's biggest carmaker.
Rod Lache, an analyst at Deutsche Bank, also said a deal with Ford would create more value.
"We believe Ford's purchasing is relatively inefficient -- an area where Renault/Nissan has substantial expertise. There could also be benefits should investment-grade partners get involved in co-ownership of the Ford Credit business," he added.
Ford shares surged more than 4% Wednesday, following a report in The Wall Street Journal, which cited "a person well-positioned to know." The shares were up another 1.3% Thursday afternoon.
