Ford beats on earnings but lowers 2025 guidance after supplier fire

Ford beat Q3 earnings estimates but cut 2025 guidance to $6.5-$7.5 billion EBIT due to a supplier plant fire and tariff-related challenges, analysts said.

  • On Thursday, Ford Motor announced third-quarter results after markets closed and revised 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance down to $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion.
  • Supply-Chain disruption from a Novelis plant fire last month and tariff pressures raised Ford's expected tariff impact from $2.5 billion to $3 billion, analysts said.
  • Ford's guidance shows 2025 adjusted EBIT guidance of $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion, below the pre-tariff $7 billion to $8.5 billion, while Wall Street estimates expected EPS 36 cents and automotive revenue $43.08 billion.
  • The company expects capital spending of about $9 billion and projects adjusted free cash flow of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion, maintaining prior guidance.
  • Analysts flagged both a near-term beat and a weaker outlook as JPMorgan analyst Ryan Brinkman expects Ford to report higher-than-expected 3Q earnings while General Motors offsets about 35% of tariff impacts this year.
