Automakers continue to report sales growth, prompting investors to question whether this trend can persist into the second half of 2024. Cox Automotive executive analyst and senior director of economic and industry insights Erin Keating joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss her outlook on the auto industry.

Keating calls the auto industry's performance "pretty good" in 2024 despite economic uncertainty that pointed to a potential slowdown. Addressing the electric vehicle (EV) sector, she notes that "a lot of the decline" in the EV market "is coming out of the Tesla (TSLA) share," noting Tesla's former position as the sole competitor in the market.

With more automakers transitioning to EV production, Keating doesn't believe that "EV demand is completely falling off a cliff." Instead, she describes the market as "normalizing," reflecting a more competitive landscape.

Looking ahead, Keating tells Yahoo Finance that 'the automotive market will have to balance itself out." She forecasts increased consolidation and collaboration among automakers as the industry adapts to evolving dynamics.
