Ford Q3: EBIT guidance raised as trucks and services lead
Ford's Q3 analysis supports the case that earnings growth and resilient demand can persist: truck strength, record software and parts revenue, and raised EBIT guidance were constructive. The counterweight is a roughly $2 billion commodity and logistics headwind plus execution risk around affordable EV and battery-storage expansion.
