Outside the U.S., however, “international auto markets remain volatile." He also mentioned that China is experiencing slowing growth.
Murphy added: “M&A, buybacks and dividends are on the rise for the auto industry.”
The firm maintains Buy ratings on Ford Motor Company F, General Motors Company GM and Honda Motor Co Ltd (ADR)HMC.
