Ford Earnings: F Stock Falls on Q2 EPS Miss, Sales Dip Slightly
Ford (NYSE:F) had a quarter that was less memorable than the company may have hoped as its earnings missed Wall Street’s guidance, while sales surpassed them, yet the amount fell year-over-year–F stock is down more than 5% after hours Wednesday.
The carmaker — based out of Detroit, Mich. — announced that for its second quarter of its fiscal 2019, it brought in net income of $148 million, or 4 cents per share. This marks an 86.2% decline when compared to the company’s year-ago profit of $1.07 billion, or 27 cents per share.
When adjusting for global restructuring and other items, Ford brought in a profit of 28 cents per share, which is weaker than the Wall Street consensus estimate of 31 cents per share, according to data compiled by FactSet. The business added its revenue came in at $38.85 billion, slightly below the $38.92 billion from the year-ago period, while also missing the $38.49 billion that FactSet called for in its guidance.
