I'm not exactly sure if this is a bug or if it will be worked out after finances/stocks are redone, so I am going to put it here. This is on the latest testing build 1.19.2. I have bought a couple of rivals around 1912 in the game.
1 company had designed about 15 different car models but did not have a factory or branches to sell cars.
2 companies had branches and factories, but did not have any car models to sell.
None of the 3 companies were making a profit, and none were "new competition" (i.e, they had existed for a number of years before I purchased them).
I just found it odd that all three companies I bought were not actually selling cars.
