Analysis · F · Manufacturing
Ford's Q2 2026 net loss of $1.33 billion was driven by $4.18 billion in pre-tax special items, primarily the BOSK joint venture disposition and EV program cancellations. Excluding those, adjusted EBIT rose to $2.5 billion, and the company raised its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10–$11 billion. The results reflect a mixed picture: core automotive operations are improving, but the EV transition continues to weigh heavily, and the aluminum supply disruption from the Novelis fires is still a headwind. The BOSK deal removed a $6.6 billion capital commitment but added $3.8 billion in DOE debt. The Versata litigation also resurfaced with an $82 million reinstated award.
