What is pricing power in this context?

In the automotive sector, pricing power refers to an OEM's ability to maintain sales prices close to MSRP without excessive discounting; widening discounts typically signal margin pressure and increased incentive spending.

How is 'Discount Velocity' calculated?

Discount Velocity measures the rate of change in the discount-to-MSRP percentage over a 3-month period, expressed in basis points (bps) per month to highlight accelerating pricing erosion.

Does this work for used cars?

No, this skill specifically tracks 'New' vehicle inventory as Discount-to-MSRP comparisons are only relevant for new car sales and manufacturer incentive programs.

Which companies can I track with this skill?

It supports major US-listed OEM tickers (like F, GM, TM, TSLA) and dealer group tickers (like AN, LAD, PAG), mapping them automatically to their respective vehicle makes and brands.

What geographic markets are covered?

This skill is optimized for the US automotive market and requires US-specific data provided through the Marketcheck API integration.
