Ford Crushes Q2 Earnings—But $800M Tariff Gut Punch Reveals Cracks in the Armor
Ford just flexed its Q2 muscles with an earnings beat—only to get sucker-punched by $800M in tariffs. Here’s the damage report.
The good news first: Detroit’s blue oval outran analyst expectations, proving legacy automakers can still throw punches in this market.
Now the ugly truth: Those tariffs? A brutal reminder that even giants bleed when geopolitics enters the ring. Wall Street’s already whispering about ‘trade war headwinds’—because nothing says ‘due diligence’ like stating the obvious after the fact.
Bottom line: Ford’s engine is humming, but someone forgot to check the fuel for protectionist additives. Typical short-term thinking—but hey, at least the shareholders got their dopamine hit today.
