Ford faces heavy losses and leadership changes amid EV struggles and financial risks.

Ford Motor is experiencing significant financial challenges due to underperformance in its electric vehicle (EV) segment, including the Mustang Mach-e and F-150 Lightning. Despite record revenue, EV-related charges caused a shift from a $5.9 billion net profit in 2024 to an $8.2 billion net loss in 2025. The company’s dividend yield is 4.75%, but payout safety is weak amid ongoing financial risks. Additionally, the departure of Doug Field, who oversaw Ford's battery electric vehicle development, highlights leadership instability as the company struggles to compete with rivals like Tesla and Chinese automakers.
