Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) is a multinational automobile manufacturer that sells automobiles and commercial vehicles (including cars, trucks, and SUVs) under the Ford brand, and luxury cars under its Lincoln brand. It has a long history of innovation and has been at the forefront of automotive technology, including the development of EVs and autonomous driving systems.

Of the $44.81 billion revenue generated in Q2 2024, up 5.62% from the year-ago period, Ford Pro, a key division for the automaker’s profitability, raised revenue by 21% year-over-year to $5.6 billion in the first half. Subscriptions for Ford Pro software also grew 35% in the second quarter.

The company canceled a three-row EV SUV originally planned for 2027, which was projected to account for 58,000 units in 2028. The automaker announced that the first EV from its California-based skunkworks team will be a mid-size pickup truck, now expected to launch in 2027.

This is slightly delayed from S&P’s earlier forecast but aligns with broader expectations for its new EV lineup rollout starting in 2027. It is heavily investing in its electrification strategy, committing $22 billion through 2025 to advance EVs. Key models like the Mustang, F-150, and Transit are being electrified.

The company is expanding its manufacturing footprint and collaborating with other automakers to improve battery technology to achieve global carbon neutrality by 2050.

Management announced that the company will reduce its capital expenditures for all EVs from 40% to 30%. This shift reflects slower-than-expected EV adoption and the challenges automakers face in achieving profitability with these vehicles. Yet, it’s positioned for growth as certain changes indicate the company’s focus on capital discipline and suggest the potential for reducing near-term losses in its Model-e segment.
