Ford Motor Company affirmed its positive outlook with an exclamation point as Q2 earnings obliterated estimates.
The automaker’s quarterly sales rose 1.8% year-over-year, an even more amazing feat in the face of stiff headwinds, inflation, rising rates, supply chain issues, and an automotive industry that was down double-digits in the same period.
Late Wednesday, Ford disclosed that Q2 earnings vaulted 423% to 68 cents. Revenue leapt 50% to $40.19 billion, driven by “a 35% increase in wholesale shipments together with favorable pricing and vehicle mix.”Wall Street expected Ford earnings to jump 244%, year over year, to 45 cents, according to FactSet. Total revenue was seen growing 38% to $36.871 billion.
