Ford’s Hybrid Sales Fuel Stock Surge; Earnings Report Awaited as Wall Street Looks to EV Efforts

Ford is set to release its first-quarter earnings and revenue after the markets close on Wednesday, following in the footsteps of General Motors (GM) and Tesla (TSLA) who recently released their quarterly results. Wall Street analysts predict that Ford’s earnings per share will fall 32% to 43 cents in Q1, with revenue expected to grow more than 3% to $42.93 billion.

Earlier in the month, Ford announced that U.S. sales had grown by 6.8% in Q1, with overall EV sales, including hybrids, jumping by 82%. The company reaffirmed its guidance for an annual core profit of $10 billion to $12 billion on March 26, emphasizing the importance of hybrids as they shift investments from EVs to hybrid vehicles.

Investors and analysts are eager to see the losses from Ford’s EV efforts in Q1. The company’s stock was up by 0.3% to 12.97 on Wednesday, following a 0.5% increase on Tuesday. The stock has gained 6.7% for the week but is still below the official buy point from a cup-with-handle base according to MarketSurge.

General Motors recently raised its 2024 guidance, expecting full-year earnings of $9.00-$10.00 per share on adjusted EBIT between $12.5 billion to $14.5 billion, an increase from their previous forecast of $8
