Ford's Q2 Beat Gets Overshadowed By Slow EV Progress
Portfolio Pulse from Upwallstreet
Ford Motor (NYSE:F) reported Q2 earnings that exceeded Wall Street's estimates and raised its full-year guidance. However, the company's slower-than-expected progress in EV transformation has overshadowed these results. Ford's Q2 revenue was $45 billion, a 12% YoY increase, including a 39% rise in the EV business. The company's net income was $1.92 billion, significantly up from last year's $667 million. Despite these positive results, Ford's EV unit lost $1.08 billion. The company also warned of a greater EV loss, expecting to lose $4.5 billion due to slower adoption.
