Ford Reports $6.1 Billion Loss Over the Past Year, With Earnings Due Tuesday
Ford Motor Company (F) reported a trailing-year loss of $6.1 billion but remains financially capable of sustaining its dividend due to strong cash flow metrics. The company's adjusted free cash flow is expected to reach between $5 billion and $6 billion by 2026, with the current annual dividend costing around $2.4 billion — well within coverage range. The reported loss was largely driven by noncash write-downs of $9.4 billion related to scaling back electric vehicle initiatives. In contrast, Ford generated strong operating cash flow of $21.3 billion in 2025 and adjusted free cash flow of $3.5 billion. First-quarter net income improved significantly due to a one-time tariff refund. Ford's earnings report is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at 4:05 p.m. ET, with investors watching closely for confirmation that expected cash flows are materializing as planned — particularly in the second half of the year.
