Ford suspending guidance amid ‘substantial industry risks’

The company said, “Ford’s (F) underlying business is strong – tracking within the previous adjusted EBIT guidance range of $7 billion to $8.5 billion, excluding new tariff-related impacts. Based on what the company knows now, and its expectation of how certain details and changes will be resolved related to tariffs, the company estimates a net adverse adjusted EBIT impact of about $1.5 billion for full-year 2025. Given material near-term risks, especially the potential for industrywide supply chain disruption impacting production, the potential for future or increased tariffs in the U.S., changes in the implementation of tariffs including tariff offsets, retaliatory tariffs and other restrictions by other governments and the potential related market impacts, and finally policy uncertainties associated with tax and emissions policy, the company is suspending guidance. These are substantial industry risks, which could have significant impacts on financial results, and that make updating full year guidance challenging right now given the potential range of outcomes. The company will provide an update during the Q2 earnings call.”
