Ford Expected to Report $724M Q1 Loss, Swinging from Prior Year Profit
Summary
Ford Motor Co. is projected to report a first-quarter loss of $724.1 million, a significant reversal from a $471 million profit in the prior year, according to analyst consensus. Adjusted earnings are expected to be 18 cents per share on $42.66 billion in revenue. This anticipated loss follows a substantial net loss for full-year 2025, driven by significant EV asset impairments and program cancellations. The company has recently undergone a corporate reorganization, seen a key executive departure, and shifted its EV strategy. The expected Q1 loss highlights ongoing challenges in its strategic pivot and market conditions, which could weigh on investor sentiment. Traders will closely watch for management commentary on the reorganization, the revised EV strategy, and any updates on potential partnerships when Ford reports earnings after the bell on Wednesday.
