Ford pulls guidance, warns it will take $1.5 billion hit from Trump's tariffs
- Ford Motor Company suspended its 2025 annual guidance on Monday due to uncertainty caused by President Trump's 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and parts.
- The tariffs, introduced to increase costs on imports mainly from Mexico and China, led Ford to withdraw guidance until clearer impacts on consumer behavior and costs emerge.
- Ford reported first-quarter revenue of $40.7 billion, a 5% decline from a year ago, with net income falling sharply to $471 million amid continuing losses in its electric vehicle operations.
- Ford projected that tariffs will increase adjusted earnings costs by approximately $1.5 billion in 2025, and CFO Sherry House emphasized that the company is concentrating on controlling the factors within its influence.
- The suspension of guidance reflects Ford’s caution about the tariff impact, suggesting ongoing challenges in profitability and pricing as the company navigates industry-wide trade tensions.
