by Ford’s Financial Results: Losses Due to Tariffs and Revenue Growth
Ford Motor Company published its financial results for the second quarter, noting significant losses due to imposed tariffs. They have already cost the automaker $800 million, and by the end of the year, this amount could grow to $2 billion. This could cover the salaries of 20,000 employees or solve problems with mass vehicle recalls.
Despite record revenue of $50.2 billion, the company recorded a net loss of $36 million. This is related to expenses for service campaigns and the cancellation of one of its electric vehicle programs. Ford also revised its annual forecasts, expecting lower profits due to supply chain issues and changes in demand.

Sales and Prospects
At the same time, Ford reported record pickup truck sales over the last 20 years and high demand for Bronco models. Its market share in the U.S. increased to 14.2%, and electric vehicles account for almost 14% of total sales. The company is preparing to present new developments in the electric car sector, details of which are promised to be revealed on August 11th.
Despite financial difficulties, Ford continues to adapt to market conditions, betting on popular SUVs and investing in the electric vehicle direction. It is expected that the company’s further steps will help compensate for losses and strengthen its position in the competitive battle.
