1,000What happened to Ford in Q4 2025?
Total Revenue 2025 $187,267m previous 9 months $141,377m so $45,890m for q4
Cost of sales 2025 $174,466m previous 9 months $122,844m so $51,622m for q4
Gross loss $5,732m
That is well out of line with other quarters typically reporting gross profit of close to $6b gross profit.
"reflected impact of special items" and
“We improved our core business and execution, made significant progress in the areas of the business we control – lowering material and warranty costs and making real progress on quality – and made difficult but critical strategic decisions that set us up for a stronger future."
was all I found which doesn't tell me much.
Then it shoots up to $7.94B in q1 2026. Getting all the bad news out of the way in 1 quarter and blame it on special items and say it sets up for a stronger future. Typical accounting & PR manipulation might be a justifiable cynical reaction?
It co-incidentally? happens to be one you didn't cover? Maybe I got lucky by that as I usually bet yes because they usually resolve yes.
