Ford Q2 Sales Drop 10% Amid $2B Battery Storage Push and New EV Strategy
F sits 26% above its 52-week low of $10.68.
Summary
Ford reported a 10% year-over-year decline in Q2 vehicle sales, totaling 549,200 units, alongside a steep drop in current EV deliveries. Simultaneously, the company launched "Ford Energy" with a $2 billion investment to repurpose EV batteries for stationary storage, targeting 20 GWh/year, and announced a strategic shift to lower-cost, universal EV platforms. This follows recent positive Q1 earnings and raised guidance, but also ongoing recalls and an aluminum crisis. The sales dip signals immediate operational challenges, while the $2 billion investment and new EV strategy are critical long-term moves to diversify revenue and improve EV profitability. Q2 2026 results on July 28 will offer a full financial update.
