Ford Motor came in well short of Wall Street’s second-quarter earnings expectations, while beating on revenue, due to warranty issues that have plagued the automaker for several years now.
Here’s how the company did, compared with estimates from analysts polled by LSEG:
Earnings per share: 47 cents adjusted vs. 68 cents adjusted
Automotive revenue: $44.81 billion vs. $44.02 billion
Ford’s stock is up about 15% this year, as pricing in the automotive industry has remained more resilient than expected.
But as the industrywide transition to electric vehicles takes off more slowly than anticipated, the automaker has adjusted its product plans to focus less on all-electric vehicles and more on hybrids.
Most recently, Ford last week said it plans to expand production of its large Super Duty trucks to a Canadian plant that was previously set to be converted into an all-electric vehicle hub.
