William Clay Ford Jr., Ford Motor Co.’s (NYSE: F) executive chairman and chairman of the board, and James P. Hackett, president and CEO, continue to have their work cut out for them. The company’s stock continues to fall.
Some investors and industry insiders believe that Ford is too far behind the innovation curve to make a strong showing in the autonomous and electric car fields. Others believe that Ford relies too much on sales its F-Series pickups, the best-selling vehicles in the United States. Still others think that Ford’s horrible results in China, the world’s largest car market, will hamper its overall performance for years. One thing is for certain. Thousands of employees will pay with their jobs for the faltering turnaround.
The Detroit Free Press broke the story that Hackett wants a more “efficient” workforce and one in which the company’s management structure is “flattened.” Ford will not disclose the exact number of people who will be let go. However, with a workforce above 200,000, anything less than thousands of firings will not make a dent in its cost structure.

Stocks to Watch Today: NKE, GRMN, FIT, FOSL, NAVI Nike Inc. (NYSE: NYSE) is facing a public relations problem this morning and shares are off nearly 2%. Last night, Duke University star basketball player Zion Williamson was injured in the opening minute of a marquee game against the University of North Carolina. Williamson slipped while dribbling and his Nike shoe split apart, causing him to fall and injure his knee. The No. 1 ranked Duke Blue Devils, who were favorites against their rivals at home, were blown out after Williamson was forced to leave the game. The game was heavily televised, attended by celebrities and former President Barack Obama, and fetched ticket prices upwards of $10,000. Williamson is likely the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft this year. The company called the event an "isolated occurrence." Shares of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN) popped to an 11-year high thanks to a strong earnings report and forward guidance on Wednesday. The fitness and navigation device manufacturer reported that smartwatch sales are "on fire" from outdoor enthusiasts. The firm's outdoor segment experienced a 25% jump in revenue for the quarter, while the firm hiked its 2019 revenue outlook and topped analysts' expectations. The news helped boost shares of Fossil (NASDAQ: FOSL) and Fitbit (NYSE: FIT). Shares of Navient Corp. (NASDAQ: NAVI) slid 4.2% after hedge fund Canyon Capital withdrew its bid from earlier this week to buy the student loan servicing giant for $12.50 per share. The hedge fund announced it will now launch a proxy fight to replace many of the company's board of directors. While this might be bad news for NAVI in the short term, there are still 1.5 trillion reasons to own this stock. Look for other earnings reports from Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU), Barclays PLC (NYSE: BCS), Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD), Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ), Dropbox (NYSE: DBX), First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE), Kraft Hein - [By Rick Munarriz]
The naysayers are growing when it comes to Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU). There were 5.3 million shares of China's undisputed search engine leader sold short as of mid-May. We're a far cry from the 7.2 million shares that were shorted a year ago, but 5.3 million is still a large enough number to stand as the highest short interest at Baidu since mid-October of last year.

iQiyi (NASDAQ:IQ) had a good day on Friday. Shares of the Chinese online media giant and former Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) subsidiary were up 11.1% at 3:40 p.m. EDT. An iQiyi-produced movie was nominated for two prestigious awards at the Shanghai International Film Festival, which is a lot like an up-and-coming Western studio snagging some Oscar nods.

- [By Leo Sun, Jamal Carnette, CFA, and Nicholas Rossolillo]
Leo Sun (SINA): Many Chinese tech stocks were crushed over the past year by decelerating growth forecasts and escalating trade tensions between the U.S. and China. However, that sell-off also reduced the valuations of some solid growth stocks to value-stock levels.
