Ford Raises 2026 Profit Forecast Amid Strong Truck Demand and Sales Challenges
Ford Motor raised its full-year profit forecast for the second time in 2026, citing strong demand for its high-priced pickup trucks and SUVs despite a decline in overall sales and revenue. The company reported a nearly 20% rise in second-quarter core profit, offsetting tariff costs and supply disruptions. Ford's CEO Jim Farley emphasized focusing investments where the company has competitive advantages, while finance chief Sherry House noted resilient customer demand amid economic challenges. The automaker plans to expand electric vehicle production despite recent setbacks in that segment.
