Ford shares jump 7% on strong Q1 results and raised earnings guidance, outpacing GM and Tesla today.

Ford Motor Company's stock rose about 7% to $12.82, marking its biggest single-day gain in weeks, driven by strong Q1 2026 earnings and an upward revision of full-year adjusted EBIT guidance. The company reported Q1 EPS of $0.66 and revenue of $43.25 billion, with notable profit from its Ford Pro segment and improved cost and quality metrics. In contrast, General Motors and Tesla showed smaller gains or little change, with GM's strong fundamentals seemingly already priced in and Tesla moving on different growth narratives. Investors will watch if Ford can maintain its gains and look ahead to upcoming U.S. sales data and Q2 results for further direction.
