SUXBNME 1,528 Posted Thursday at 10:45 PM 4 hours ago, Ron_Artest said: Ford posts first quarterly loss in 2 years after $800 million tariff hit https://thehill.com/business/5431352-ford-posts-first-quarterly-loss-in-two-years-after-800-million-tariff-hit/ Ford makes their cars in America. WHOOPS! DETROIT, Feb 5 (Reuters) - Ford Motor (F.N), opens new tab on Wednesday projected up to $5.5 billion in losses on its electric vehicle and software operations this year, a loss similar to last year and a sign of the severe difficulties in cutting costs on battery-powered models. The automaker forecast overall profitability for 2025, but even that was lower than in 2024. For the fourth quarter, it reported a net profit of $1.8 billion, up from a loss of $500 million in the year-ago quarter as pension-related costs weighed on results. Ford's chief executive, Jim Farley, has been seeking to follow up a choppy 2024 with more consistent results, in a year that is already shaping up to be marred by swings in U.S. policy. The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker is working to overcome persistent quality issues and lift its stock price which declined by 18% last year. It now faces uncertainty around U.S. President Donald Trump's threatened tariffs on Mexico and Canada. If implemented, the measures would boost the automaker's raw material costs and likely hurt sales demand. Farley told analysts on a conference call that Ford could weather a few weeks of tariffs, but that if 25% duties on Mexico and Canada were prolonged, “it would have a huge impact on our industry, with billions of dollars of industry profits wiped out, and adverse effect on the U.S. jobs.” Farley added he believes that Trump is aiming to strengthen the auto industry, not weaken it.

Even in cases where prices on imported items increased, it’s unclear if the moves were all or partly due to cost increases from tariffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We can safely assuming price increases are at least in part due to tariffs, right? No smart company is going to come right out and say it.

I don't keep track o who said what when, but in no way did I think tariffs would not lead to increases. The scale of them is in dispute.

The initial engineering and manufacturing development contract is valued at over $20 billion, with expectations of orders totaling hundreds of billions over the program's multi-decade lifespan.
