(F) News Today

Few automotive companies are as dependent on breakout hits as Ford. It's almost as though it's baked into the company's DNA: From the Model T and the Taurus to the F-150 and the Explorer, Ford has lurched from one success to another.

Ford Motor (F) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

For the past few years, Ford Motor Company has been working on an affordable midsize electric truck—the automaker's answer to Tesla's sub-$40,000 EVs, the rising domination of ultra-affordable electric vehicles out of China, and Americans' general frustrations with sky-high car prices.

Ford said its new electric midsize pickup truck will start at $28,350 and be called the "Fathom." It's the first vehicle to be built using Ford's "Universal Electric Vehicle," or UEV, platform.

Ford Motor said on Thursday that its upcoming midsize electric pickup truck would be priced starting ​at about $28,000 and named Fathom, as the Michigan automaker ‌looks to offer an affordable model in a market full of pricey EVs.

Ford's next-generation electric truck will be called Fathom, and it will start at $28,350 when it goes on sale in 2027, the company said on Thursday.

Ford's new electric truck gets a sub-$30,000 starting price (even with delivery). The Detroit automaker also revealed the pickup's name.

Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) shares are trading lower Tuesday afternoon following the release of disappointing monthly sales figures.

Despite reporting a 10.2% decline in its July U.S. vehicle sales Tuesday, Ford said it was a "good sales month." Ford said the steep decline was "by design" as the Detroit automaker phases out two vehicles and lowered its daily rental fleet business.

F's Q2 earnings beat, raised 2026 guidance, improving product mix and narrowing EV losses strengthen its investment case.

Both Ford and GM are putting more emphasis on their defense contract business. GM secured a multiyear contract to build the U.S. Army's Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV).

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has escalated a long-running defect probe into roughly 135,551 Ford Fiesta, Focus, and EcoSport vehicles with 1.0L turbocharged three-cylinder engines from model years 2014 to 2021, declaring an “unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety.

It is easy to tell which huge American car company investors favor over the long term.

Romanian carmakers Dacia - ​owned by French ‌Renault - and Ford have ​temporarily halted ​production until August 19, ⁠Prime Minister ​Ilie Bolojan said ​on Monday, voluntarily reducing power consumption ​as the ​country faces electricity supply ‌problems.

Automotive sales may be falling, but Ford (F -1.21%) has a new opportunity for growth.

The maker of the Mustang and Bronco wants a lineup of such ‘passionate' vehicles. Gone are staid family sedans, cheap hatchbacks or frumpy minivans.

Just a few short years ago, General Motors and Ford were all-in on electric vehicles, spending billions of dollars on those efforts. Now, the two biggest American automakers are hardly talking about EVs with their investors.

Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) shares are trading lower on Friday as investors weigh a mixed earnings follow-through and fresh analyst commentary on pricing and product mix.

The automakers have a mixed track record on diversification.

Ford plans to make Level 3, eyes-off driving road-ready on its Universal Electric Vehicle platform in 2028. Second-quarter adjusted earnings before interest and taxes rose to $2.5 billion, and Ford raised its full-year guidance.

Ford CEO Jim Farley told employees in a town hall Thursday ​that the company is preparing for the ‌possibility that Chinese automakers could enter the American market in the next five to ten years, even ​though the country has erected numerous ​trade barriers to cars from China, according ⁠to three people who viewed the meeting.

Following their upbeat Q2 reports, investors may be wondering whether the recent rally in GM or Ford stock has further room to run.

Ford Motor Company delivered a solid quarterly beat, with adjusted EBIT margin rising to 5.2% despite a 4% revenue decline to $48.3 billion. I remain at hold, verging on buy, as Ford Pro's moat and resilience offset industry headwinds, but recent share price strength tempers conviction. Ford raised full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10–$11 billion and adjusted free cash flow to $6–$7 billion, citing recovery from supply disruptions.

On July 29, 2026, the automaker's adjusted profit of $0.42 per share and higher full-year outlook kept investors focused on margin execution.

Wall Street has long been more positive about General Motors than Ford, but that may be about to change.

The company now expects higher adjusted operating earnings and free cash flow in 2026. Ford continues to see strong demand for its F-Series and is seeing less pressure in other parts of the business.

F's Q2 earnings beat as stronger pricing and product mix lifted EBIT, prompting higher 2026 profit and free cash flow guidance.

Revenue slightly missed in Ford's (F) earnings but EPS beat, backed by guidance strength with the company raising its EBIT outlook. Marley Kayden talks about the rally off the report, the legacy automaker posting $2.5 billion in operating profit, and price target hikes from analysts.

The prospect of high robotaxi and humanoid robot sales is the main reason Tesla gets away with a P/E ratio close to 300. Ford is working on self-driving technology that can position it to offer robotaxis, and other automakers may follow suit.

Ford raises 2026 outlook as it highlights higher profitability, pricing discipline and growth in trucks, services, EVs and energy.

Ford delivered strong Q2 EBIT growth, driven by robust ICE vehicle demand and resilient Ford Blue and Pro segment margins. Because of strong demand, favorable product mix changes and easing commodity headwinds, Ford increased its FY 2026 adjusted EBIT and free cash flow guidance. Ford trades at 8.2x forward earnings, below my fair value range of 10–11x, implying up to 28% repricing upside.

Diane King Hall highlights Teradyne's (TER) rally after beating on earnings and posting strong guidance, giving much needed strength to the stock. Ford (F) also rallied when it showed similar strength in its earnings.

F's raised FY2026 guidance is driven by higher net pricing, increased high-margin SUV/F-Series sales, and SaaS subscription growth. The capacity ramp up of Super Duties in H2'26 and the launch of competitively priced UEV models from 2027 may also drive improved delivery numbers moving forward. ~80% of the planned 20 GWh Ford Energy capacity is supposedly sold out, with the "very short payback" period implying a rapid top/bottom-line accretion.

Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F) is trading higher today after the automaker reported second-quarter adjusted earnings that topped Wall Street's expectations and raised its full-year 2026 earnings outlook, brushing off revenue that came in slightly below estimates.

Shares of Ford (NYSE:F | F Price Prediction) are up 6% Wednesday morning to $15.90 after the automaker delivered a Q2 2026 earnings beat, lifted its full-year outlook, and picked up a Buy upgrade from Citi.

Ford delivered a strong Q2 beat and raised guidance again, but the headline numbers rely heavily on a one‑time $1.3B tariff refund. Ford Blue and Ford Pro continue to carry the company while Model e remains deeply unprofitable. Ford's dividend is well‑covered, but the stock's multiple is unlikely to expand unless a catalyst that I discuss in the article materializes.

Ford jumped early Wednesday on Q2 results and a bullish upgrade.

Ford Motor Company remains a buy, supported by raised 2026 guidance and resilient top-line performance despite consumer weakness. Q2 saw wholesale unit declines of 12%, but revenue fell only 4% as Ford leveraged pricing power and favorable mix, beating analyst expectations by $2.83 billion. Adjusted EBIT margin expanded to 5.2%, and adjusted EPS grew 13.5% YoY, reflecting cost discipline and strong demand for key models.

Seagate's earnings give rival Western Digital a boost, while SK Hynix's results drag down rival Micron.

Ford stock jumped more than 5% in after-hours trading on Tuesday even after the automaker reported a $1.3 billion second-quarter net loss, as investors focused on stronger underlying earnings and a raised outlook. The company delivered adjusted earnings of 42 cents a share, ahead of the 36-cent consensus, while adjusted EBIT rose by $400 million from a year earlier to $2.5 billion.
