Ford posts mixed third-quarter results; shares rise as 2027 outlook is kept in line with 2026

Ford filed a Form 8-K under Item 2.02 (results of operations) for the earnings disclosure, and an earnings call presentation was published on 2026-10-29. According to the event summary, quarterly profit was around $2 billion on revenue of $49.5 billion, a 2% decline.

The electric vehicle business lost about $1.1 billion in the quarter. Morningstar noted that improvement at Model e partly offset pressure elsewhere in the company, while an earlier preview had flagged doubts over a guidance raise because of an F-150 supply disruption and weak EV demand.

Coverage differs in tone. The Wall Street Journal tied lower profit and revenue to weaker vehicle sales, and Reuters said core profit edged up despite higher commodity costs. Yahoo Finance reported an earnings beat and a narrowed profit forecast, and CNBC said Ford expects 2027 earnings in line with this year.

The sources do not spell out the link between Ford and the USF instrument, so any effect there would likely be indirect, via auto-sector sentiment. Most sources were summaries only, which limits the available detail.
