The brokerage provided the following key takeaways from the meeting:

(2) The company sees a credible path towards 4-million-unit annual production in NA over the next couple of years, with 2023 ICE production likely to increase from H2/22 guidance run rate of 3.2 million units amid strong demand, and new EV capacity and demand largely incremental.

(3) The company expects to be able to maintain its margins through its EV ramp up over the next few years, due to continued strong demand for trucks and lower cost of batteries.
