US-Canada Trade Talks Collapse, 50% Tariffs Loom on $20B in Goods
F sits 26% above its 52-week low of $11.11.
Summary
US-Canada trade talks broke down after Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick intervened, leaving 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods set to take effect. The auto sector tariff was reportedly set to drop from 25% to 15%, but only for light vehicles—medium and heavy-duty trucks would remain at the higher rate. Ford, with significant Canadian manufacturing and cross-border supply chains, faces direct cost pressure and potential disruption. This follows a string of negative headlines for Ford, including multiple recalls and a 13.6% May sales decline. The tariff escalation adds a new layer of risk to Ford's North American operations.
At the time of this announcement, F was trading at $13.98 on NYSE in the Manufacturing sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $55.5B. The 52-week trading range was $11.11 to $17.78.
