Ford Motor is preparing to report its third-quarter results, and analysts’ expectations are mixed. While automotive sales are expected to remain stable, earnings per share are expected to decline 26%. This development reflects the challenges the company faces, including tariffs and supply chain issues.
A key factor that could impact fourth quarter forecasts is ongoing trade tariffs. Ford has increased its expected tariff costs from $2.5 billion to $3 billion, but plans to offset $1 billion through business actions. These adjustments are necessary to minimize the impact on profitability.
Another factor that could affect the results is a fire at a Novelis plant, a key aluminum supplier to Ford. This disruption in the supply chain could affect the production of highly profitable trucks, which could negatively impact profit forecasts. Analysts at JPMorgan therefore expect that Ford could exceed expectations for the third quarter, but come up with a cautious forecast for the fourth quarter.
By comparison, General Motors has reduced its expected tariff costs for the year and plans to offset about 35% of those costs through strategic actions. These different approaches from the two automotive giants show how differently the companies react to the challenges of global trade.
Investors will also pay attention to Ford’s efforts to cut costs and improve quality. These measures are crucial to maintaining competitiveness in an increasingly challenging market environment. The coming quarterly figures will therefore not only provide an insight into Ford’s current financial situation, but also an indication of how the company is prepared for future challenges.
