rmc523 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) https://www.autoblog.com/2019/07/24/ford-reports-lower-profit-than-forecast-as-it-restructures-overseas/ Quote Ford's net profit tumbled 86% in the second quarter due largely to restructuring costs in Europe and South America. Net income for the April-through-June period dropped to $148 million, or 4 cents per share. Without the charges the company made 28 cents per share. Revenue was flat at $38.9 billion. On average, analysts surveyed by FactSet expected earnings 31 cents per share on revenue of $38.49 billion. Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone says the company had charges of $1.2 billion as it moved to close factories in Europe and South America. He says Ford already is seeing an impact from its global fitness measures that included a reduction of 7,000 white-collar workers. Ford, which released numbers after the markets closed Wednesday, says its results include a $181 million valuation loss on an investment in a software company, trimming 4 cents off adjusted earnings per share. Its stock fell 6.3% in after-hours trading to $9.68. In North America, Ford's biggest profit center, pretax earnings fell 3% to just under $1.7 billion, which the company blamed on switching its Chicago factory to build new versions of midsize SUVs. But in Europe, the company showed its first year-over-year improvement in two years with a pretax profit of $53 million versus a $73 million loss last year. Ford's loss in China shrank 68% to $155 million. The South America loss widened 15%, though, to $205 million. Middle East and Africa swung to a loss of $45 million from a profit of $49 million. Ford Credit pretax income rose 29% to $831 million. More at the link above. Edited July 25, 2019 by rmc523 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blwnsmoke Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 When is Ford going to learn that they have to be in triple digit losses in order to have triple digit stock prices? 148 million profit just is not going to cut it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford already has a triple digit stock price. Two of the digits are after the decimal point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Ford is still going to be on shaky ground stock price wise till late next year. Still have quite a few launches to go through over the next 16 months or so. Escape/Corsair Mach E Super Duty F-150 Scout/Baby Bronco Bronco I'm sure I'm missing one or two.

All-electric Transit Shaky ground is correct. Ford is struggling mightily to become "fit" again, and transform itself into a true 21st century company. Jim Hackett is doing his best to pull it off. But the next 12-16 months may not be a good time to invest in Ford stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smart money knows that a lot of the costs are one time charges and that the US product pipeline is full next year. Europe has started to turn around profit wise and losses in South America are slowing. Edited July 26, 2019 by jpd80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the next 12-16 months may not be a good time to invest in Ford stock. Typically, once a company becomes recognized by mainstream analysts as "fit" for investing the big run-up in stock price has already taken place. I've made two purchases so far. One in December when the dividend was at nearly 8%, another earlier this year when it was around 7%. With it now back up to 6.28% I'm considering a third.

Gurgeh Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (That said, there's a good chance that even if all goes well with Hackett's Ford plan it might be necessary to hold onto the stock for a couple or more years to get the full benefit out of it, depending on the timing of the next recession. This is still a cyclical industry. But holding on at this dividend level takes some of the sting out of it, assuming the dividend remains safe.)

I’m not concerned at this point that they’ll cut the dividend at all or by any significant amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish I bought it back in 2007 when it was under $2 a share. if you want short or mid term returns, find a different stock... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
