Why did Ford earnings miss expectations?

Adjusted EPS came in at $0.13 versus $0.19 expected. Management cited roughly $900 million in unexpected tariff costs and fallout from a Novelis aluminum plant fire that disrupted supply. Those items pressured margins in the quarter. Shares still rose after-hours as investors focused on stronger 2026 EBIT and cash flow guidance.

How does the 2026 guidance affect Ford stock?

Management guided 2026 EBIT to $8 to $10 billion and free cash flow to $5 to $6 billion, which supports the income and value case. It suggests better cash conversion as Ford Pro and Blue carry results while EV losses taper. Execution on costs, tariffs, and product launches will determine if targets hold.

Is Ford stock attractive for income investors in Canada?

The TTM dividend yield is about 5.5% in USD, which is competitive. Canadian investors should note dividends and price are in USD, so FX can lift or reduce CAD returns. The payout depends on cash generation, which management expects to improve in 2026, but policy and EV execution are key risks.

What technical levels are important right now?

Key reference points include the 50-day average near $13.55, the 200-day near $12.00, the Bollinger upper band around $14.18, and the 52-week high at $14.50. Momentum is firm with RSI at 66.27 and CCI at 183.51, but those overbought signals can precede short-term pullbacks.

What risks could weigh on Ford stock from here?

Major risks include tariff costs, materials availability, EV losses of about $4 to $4.5 billion in 2026, and leverage, with debt-to-equity near 3.47. FX also matters for Canadians, since price and dividends are in USD. Any slowdown in Ford Pro or trucks could also affect margins and cash.
