Shares of Ford (NYSE:F) rose as high as 14% Wednesday following an upgrade from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), citing a "sea of change" in the US automobile industry. Goldman said it was time to buy the embattled automaker, setting a six-month target price of $6 a share. Goldman equity analyst Patrick Archambault wrote that Ford would benefit from "diminished presence" of its two of its largest competitors General Motors (NYSE:GM) and Chrysler due to highly likely bankruptcies in the oncoming weeks.
