Ford Raises 2026 Profit Outlook to $11B, Shares Jump 7% After-Hours
F sits 45% above its 52-week low of $10.68.
Summary
Ford raised its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10–$11 billion, up from $8.5–$10.5 billion, after posting Q2 adjusted EBIT of $2.5 billion. Adjusted EPS of $0.42 beat the $0.36 consensus. Revenue fell 4% and first-half sales dropped nearly 10%, but the company is confident in demand for high-margin trucks and SUVs. The stock rose 7% after-hours. This follows the earlier 8-K filing and news brief; the WSJ article adds management commentary on consumer resilience, a new affordable EV platform launching in 2027, and ongoing defense-related discussions. The raised guidance and after-hours move signal market approval of Ford's cost discipline and strategic pivot toward energy storage and defense adjacencies.
