Акции Ford падают после отмены прогноза на год и увеличения убытков в подразделении электромобилей.

Ford Motor Co. shares closed down 12.3% on Friday after reporting a wider loss in its electric-vehicle (EV) business. The loss was attributed to a price war sparked by industry leader Tesla. Ford also pulled its 2023 forecast, citing uncertainty surrounding the ratification of its new labor deal with the United Auto Workers (UAW) union. The company warned of ongoing challenges in its EV business and announced production cuts for its Mustang Mach-E. Ford is also scaling back $12 billion in investments in the EV segment, including delaying its second battery plant in Kentucky. The quarterly report reflects the challenges facing the EV market, as inflation-wary consumers are scaling back on purchases. On the labor front, the UAW and Ford reached a tentative agreement that includes a 25% wage increase for 57,000 workers over nearly five years, effectively ending the strike at some of Ford’s largest factories. The strike has cost the automaker about $4.32 billion in market cap. General Motors, which has not yet reached an agreement with UAW, also withdrew its 2023 results forecast and revised its goal of producing 400,000 EVs by mid-2024.
