Ford's profit jumps, beats expectations, and raises 2026 outlook despite EV losses.

Ford Motor reported a strong quarterly profit, surpassing Wall Street expectations largely due to a significant tariff refund. Despite ongoing losses in its electric vehicle (EV) segment, the automaker raised its full-year outlook. However, Ford cautioned that its improved forecast does not account for potential impacts from prolonged Middle East conflicts or a major U.S. economic downturn. Following the earnings report, Ford's stock rose over 4% in after-hours trading.
