Ford Bronco Filson: Specs, Features, and Everything You Need to KnowJune 3, 2026 9:00 PM
Business Wire Originally published on Ford From the Road. Ford and Filson have introduced the first-ever Bronco Filson — a new rugged premium 4x4 SUV that unites Bronco's Built Wild™ capability with Filson's promise of Unfailing Goods. Designed to take you to the most remote places on Earth in refined comfort and convenience, it's the newest member of the Bronco lineup and goes on sale early 2027. "Bronco buyers don't just want a vehicle — they want a partner for wherever they're headed," said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue and Ford Model e. "Filson has spent more than a century making gear people trust and putting their products to the test in extreme conditions. That's exactly the standard we had in mind when we built this vehicle, and it's why our customers love Bronco." What is the Ford Bronco Filson? The Bronco Filson is the newest member of the Bronco lineup — designed with Built Wild extreme durability and the heirloom-quality craftsmanship of a Filson Tin Cloth short-lined cruiser jacket. It retains Bronco's original "Goes Over Any Type of Terrain" DNA while delivering premium features that elevate the comfort and functionality of a rugged SUV. "For nearly 130 years, Filson has built products for people who depend on their gear in the harshest conditions imaginable," said Alex Carleton, chief creative officer at Filson. "The Bronco Filson is a natural extension of that legacy, combining uncompromising capability with thoughtful craftsmanship and utility-driven design. This vehicle was created for people who see the outdoors not as an escape, but as a way of life." How capable is the Bronco Filson off-road? Just like the gear Filson has supplied to pioneers and the U.S. Forest Service for more than a century, the Bronco Filson is built to deliver confidence and performance in harsh trail conditions. The proven 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 — shared with Bronco Raptor and refined with application-specific tuning — gives Bronco Filson the power and torque to handle a wide range of conditions. Every Bronco Filson comes standard with the Sasquatch package, which includes: Front and rear electronic locking differentials High-performance Fox shocks with internal bypass technology to improve off-road durability and reduce harshness over rocky terrain 35-inch rugged-terrain tires — the largest of any premium 4x4 SUV — that help reduce road noise without sacrificing off-road grip Standard Trail Turn Assist tightens off-road turning radius, and Trail 1-Pedal Drive enables precise, confident slow-mode rock crawling. The Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Modes offers seven driver-selectable modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Baja, Off-Road, and Rock Crawl. Fast 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity plus SYNC 4 infotainment with a standard 12-inch screen provide access to the standard 360-degree camera system and apps like onX off-road trail maps via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The backbone of every Bronco Filson is a high-strength steel ladder frame — built for this, not borrowed from elsewhere. What makes the Bronco Filson cabin different? Filson designers worked side-by-side with the Bronco team to curate a premium cabin — one where every material had to earn its place. "There is a massive difference between premium and precious," said Paul Wraith, global design director, Sport Utility Vehicles. "If you're hesitating because you're afraid to get the cabin dirty, it doesn't belong in a Bronco. Every material we chose with Filson had to be honest, tactile, and relentlessly durable. And like a great piece of gear, this interior isn't meant to wear down, it's designed to wear in, aging beautifully alongside you and your adventures." Colors and materials are inspired by Filson's legendary outdoor palettes and textures. The interior features perforated, quilted leather and durable woven fabric seat trim inspired by Filson's rugged twill, a leather-wrapped instrument panel and steering wheel, and brass accents on the steering wheel bezel and G.O.A.T. Modes dial. The Bronco Filson is also the quietest Bronco cabin ever built. Improved airflow, acoustic glass, and enhanced seals reduce wind and road noise — including nearly 20% less perceived wind noise versus the 2021 Bronco. Paired with new ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and an upgraded B&O audio system, it's a quiet, climate-controlled retreat when conditions outside turn harsh. What storage and utility features does the Bronco Filson offer? The Bronco Filson’s utility-first philosophy shows up in the details. Filson-inspired removable saddlebags are integrated throughout the interior — including door-mounted bags and optional cargo-area bags made from water- and dirt-resistant materials. The detachable bags feature customizable compartments for everything from fly boxes and first-aid kits to camera lenses, and carry easily from vehicle to campsite. A digital rearview mirror with washer ensures clear sightlines even when the cargo area is fully loaded. New power running boards deploy automatically for easier entry and exit given the vehicle's high ground clearance. Outside, the Bronco Filson features a unique front grille with distinct BRONCO lettering, heritage-painted wheel arches, painted mirror caps, and exclusive trail sight tie-downs designed to secure longer items like canoes. Available colors include Bronco Filson exclusive Field Green Metallic, Marsh Gray, Avalanche Gray, Desert Sand, Shadow Black, and Oxford White. What is the Bronco Filson First Edition? To commemorate the launch of this historic collaboration, Ford will offer an exclusive Bronco Filson First Edition for North America, featuring: Exclusive Iron Sands Copper Metallic exterior paint color Unique fender badge Custom serialized console badge commemorating the Ford x Filson collaboration Filson-inspired cargo storage bags Where is the Bronco Filson built? The Bronco Filson is assembled at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, the same factory that has assembled Bronco SUVs since the vehicle’s return in 2021. When can you buy the Bronco Filson? Orders open fall 2026, with vehicles arriving in showrooms early 2027. Interested customers can sign up now for updates and early access. Beginning in July 2026, customers can experience the vehicle firsthand through the Bronco Filson Tour, a multi-city immersive showcase highlighting its design, materials, and capability. To complement the vehicle, a limited-edition Bronco x Filson collection will be available beginning June 4 exclusively at Filson stores and Filson.com. What does the Bronco Filson cost? Bronco Filson has a targeted starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price in the mid $70,000s.

Ford Charges Ahead in Europe: Seven New Models and Smart Tech to Keep Vans on Road and Businesses EarningMay 18, 2026 6:00 AM
PR Newswire (US) Ford announces a comprehensive product and services rollout to compete and win in Europe, tailored to the unique demands of European customersThe strategy debuts alongside "Ready-Set-Ford", a new global brand platform grounded in Ford's leadership in work, thrilling performance, and off-road adventureFord will defend and grow its commercial leadership by expanding its lineup and connected services that turn vehicle data into measurable productivityFord is rejuvenating its passenger vehicle business with five all-new "multi-energy" vehicles, blending off-road DNA with a century of rally-bred heritageFord issues a call to action: Regulatory pathways must align with consumer reality and provide a flexible transition to an electric futureSALZBURG, Austria, May 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ford today detailed a vibrant new vision for its future in Europe at a gathering of European dealers and partners. With a comprehensive product and technology rollout for commercial and retail customers planned over the next three years, Ford is renewing its commitment to European drivers and businesses. Ford's European strategy is supported by its new Ready-Set-Ford global brand platform, which focuses on the territories where Ford authentically plays and differentiates: Build, Thrill and Adventure. The first European campaigns under the Ready-Set-Ford banner launch this month.Ford Pro Evolves from Vehicle Maker to Productivity Partner for European BusinessFord Pro, Europe's leading commercial vehicle brand for 11 years running, 1 is evolving from a vehicle manufacturer into an indispensable productivity partner for businesses of all sizes leveraging software and services to maximise the return on every vehicle.The strategy supports Ford's global target to generate 25 per cent of Ford Pro EBIT from software and services. In the first quarter of 2026, worldwide paid software subscriptions rose 30 per cent to 879,000, with gross margins above 50 per cent."Ford Pro is the backbone of our European business," said Jim Baumbick, President, Ford in Europe. "We don't just sell vans and pickups, we deliver an integrated ecosystem of vehicles, software and services. Our vehicles lead the market, and around them we've built a productivity accelerator our competition cannot match. For our customers, that's not just transportation, it's a better return on investment."Ford Pro's Uptime Services use connected vehicle data and predictive intelligence to identify issues before they become problems. Since 2019, every Ford Pro vehicle has been built with an embedded modem. Today, more than 1.2 million European customers are connected, generating close to six million health signals a day. Last year alone, Ford's connected services delivered nearly one million additional days of uptime for our customers.Ford Pro is now extending these capabilities to small businesses for the first time. Through new Dealer Uptime Services, every Ford dealer can become a dedicated uptime manager – monitoring vehicle health, reaching out proactively, and prepping parts and workshops before the vehicle arrives. Early pilots show repair times are cut by up to 50 per cent, with 80 per cent of repairs identified proactively. 2For customers, this means more uptime, more productive days, more revenue earned from every vehicle they own. For dealers, it means more service leads, stronger customer loyalty and a significant uplift in revenue potential. Both unlocked by elevating the dealer into a data-enabled productivity partner equipped with the insight, tools and connectivity to keep their commercial customers earning.Ford Pro is also expanding the product range with two new vehicles designed for very different but equally demanding jobs:Ranger Super Duty Available Now: Extreme Capability for Europe's Toughest Jobs
Ranger has been Europe's best-selling pickup for 11 consecutive years. 1 The new Ranger Super Duty extends the family into the most demanding work on earth – emergency services, forestry, mining and military. It delivers a total combined mass (payload + towing) of 8 tonnes 3,4 and tows up to 4.5 tonnes, 4 boasting a near 2-tonne payload, 3 with heavy-duty suspension, extra underbody protection and high ground clearance direct from the factory. It combines "work-first" attitude with Ranger's standard cabin comfort, connectivity and driver assistance technologies. 5 "European governments and convertors serving the defense industry are increasingly looking for off-the-shelf vehicles that deliver the extreme capabilities required by the military," Baumbick said. "Ranger Super Duty is the right vehicle for the job. It's the most capable Ranger ever built, creating a new heavy-duty truck segment in Europe. It's available at scale, straight from our factory."Transit City: The Tool for Cost-Conscious Firms in Electric-Only Cities
The Transit City 6 is a new, all-electric van created specifically for fleets operating in dense urban areas. As more cities move toward electric-only zones, the Transit City offers a straightforward and cost-effective way to make the switch. To keep things simple and costs low, it comes in a single high standard specification. Available in three variants, including a chassis cab version for a choice of body conversions, it provides a practical, budget-friendly partner for city-based businesses. Arriving in showrooms later this year.A New Era for Ford Passenger Vehicles in EuropeFord has more than a century of racing heritage particularly in the world of rally, Europe's native racing format. Combining that off-road DNA with on-road performance, Ford will create rally-bred vehicles tailored to Europe. Ford's new European lineup will deliver multi-energy vehicles where thrill and adventure coexist with control and precision – built to handle the unique challenges of Europe's alpine passes, cobblestoned streets, and winding roads.By the end of 2029, Ford will launch five all-new passenger vehicles, made in Europe for Europe:New member of the global Bronco family comes to Europe: This new multi-energy member of the global Bronco family is a rugged compact SUV confirmed for production at Ford's plant in Valencia, Spain, from 2028.The Electric Hatch: This new small electric vehicle combines distinct design with Ford's signature driving dynamics – injecting "race to road" capabilities into the B-segment.The Small Electric SUV: A dynamic, fully electric small SUV carrying the same rally-bred design language and drive dynamics in an urban-friendly package.Two Multi-Energy Crossovers: Two additional rally-bred crossover models will complete the new line-up by the end of 2029."We are absolutely supportive of Ford's strategy to go on the offensive in Europe," said Nicola Gilda, Managing Director, Peoples Automotive Group and Chair of Ford's European Dealer Council. "Building on the success of Ford Pro, while also tapping into Ford's racing heritage for the design of the new passenger vehicles – it's clear that Ford is back to win."Partnering for Speed and ScaleStrategic partnerships are central to how Ford competes in Europe, accelerating development, unlocking scale and driving value across both commercial and passenger segments. By combining the expertise, industrial footprint and supply base of Ford and its partners, both gain the efficiency, competitiveness and manufacturing reach needed to win in one of the world's most competitive regions."These aren't just deals. They are strategic levers," Baumbick said. "We partner with the best to move with speed and scale, and we obsess over the product to deliver passionate, unmistakably Ford vehicles."A Practical Path to Carbon-Free MobilityFord has served European drivers and businesses for more than 100 years with cars, trucks and vans they love and improve their lives. Ford is committed to supporting customers on the journey to a zero-emission future, but when emissions targets are decoupled from the reality of consumer demand, the consequences are counterproductive: buyers hold on to older, higher-emission vehicles for longer, and the economics of industrial investment are undermined.In addition, "Made in Europe" rules must reflect the reality of integrated regional supply chains and the important role of regional partners like Türkiye, Morocco and the UK play in our industrial ecosystem. Excluding or restricting these markets will undermine European competitiveness and will ultimately increase costs for consumers.What Europe urgently needs is a regulatory framework that aligns targets with consumer choice and provides a realistic, reliable planning horizon. Ford is calling for a customer-first approach:Realistic Targets and the Right Charging Infrastructure: CO2 targets must reflect actual consumer demand and infrastructure reality. Forcing a transition faster than the market can move risks slowing the vehicle renewal rate – a critical factor in reducing emissions.A New Path: Legislation must support and encourage electrified technologies such as plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs), which offer a practical pathway to a fully electric future. These technologies enable families and businesses to begin reducing emissions today, maximising electric kilometres driven while the necessary charging infrastructure is built across Europe.Protection for Small Businesses: 10% of new vans are electric as businesses struggle with charging infrastructure optimized for passenger vehicles and delays in gaining grid access for depots. Forcing aggressive targets on commercial vehicles acts as a tax on the plumbers, builders, and delivery drivers who power Europe's economy."We don't build vehicles to meet regulatory mandates; we build them for people," Baumbick said. "The fastest route to zero emissions is the one customers will actually take. We can accelerate emissions reductions today with hybrid technologies that that let customers drive electric whenever they can."1 Based on S&P Global Mobility sales data 2025.

Ford Marks America’s 250th by Putting American Values to WorkMay 1, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire
“American Value. For American Values.” reflects Ford Motor Company’s nearly 125-year commitment to American workers, U.S. manufacturing, and communities—rooted in long-term values, not short-term market conditions.
Ford employs more U.S. hourly autoworkers and assembles more vehicles in America than any other automaker, continuing a legacy that began with Henry Ford’s historic $5-a-day wage and helped build the American middle class.
In recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, Ford is extending employee pricing to customers on most new 2025 and 2026 Ford and Lincoln vehicles—customers will pay what a Ford employee pays.
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Ford Motor Company is reaffirming its long-standing commitment to American values by putting those values into action for workers, customers, and communities across the country.
The “American Value. For American Values.” campaign is designed to give back to the people who keep America moving. As part of the program, Ford is extending employee pricing to customers at participating dealers on most new 2025 and 2026 Ford and Lincoln vehicles – offering the same value provided to Ford employees. The initiative helps make some of America’s most trusted vehicles more accessible, including Ford trucks and vans that help power small businesses, SUVs that support families, and performance vehicles that fuel work and adventure nationwide.
“Ford has always believed that American values are more than words—they’re actions,” said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue and Model e. “As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, ‘American Value. For American Values‘ is our way of giving back to the people who show up every day: American workers, small business owners, and families who place their trust in Ford.”
Ford employs more U.S. hourly workers and assembles more vehicles in the United States than any other automaker – demonstrating a deep and enduring investment in American manufacturing and local communities. This commitment is not cyclical and not driven by short-term market conditions; it is foundational to Ford’s identity.
“American Value. For American Values” will run through July 6 and offer employee pricing at participating dealers on most new 2025 and 2026 Ford and Lincoln vehicles to all U.S. customers. Customers will pay what a Ford employee pays, which is below the Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price. The program can save buyers anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars depending on the vehicle. To get the price, you won’t need to hunt down and wait for a rebate, clip a coupon or negotiate on the lot. And customers can prequalify for financing online with Ford Credit in just minutes before visiting their local dealer.
This summer, Ford will continue supporting the people and organizations who keep America moving. To mark 250 years of our nation, 250 Ford Dealers are activating with local nonprofits through Ford Building Together to deliver essential resources - from hosting blood drives and food collection - to provide direct support to communities nationwide.

AI Overview
Ford is pivoting to a "pragmatic" strategy, taking a ~$19.5 billion charge to reduce focus on large, high-cost EVs in favor of hybrids, extended-range EVs (EREVs), and a new, affordable small EV platform by 2027. Key strategies include transitioning to a profitable "industrial energy player" by launching a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) business and growing high-margin, recurring revenue via Ford Pro software. [1, 2, 3, 4]
1. Pragmatic EV & Hybrid Strategy
• Shift from All-Electric: Ford is scaling back on large, expensive BEVs, shifting production to hybrids (which constitute 30% of their sales) and EREVs (extending EV ranges to 600-700 miles).
• The "Unboxed" EV (UEV): Developing an affordable, "unboxed" platform aimed at a $30,000 price point by late 2027.
• Manufacturing Flexibility: Plants initially planned for EVs (like in Kentucky) are being repurposed for BESS and other powertrain options, reducing the risk of stranded assets.
• Product Shift: The next-gen F-Series Super Duty will offer diverse propulsion, ensuring hybrid options are available to meet consumer demand. [1, 2, 5, 6]
2. Emerging Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) Opportunity
• Repurposing Capacity: Ford is pivoting the Glendale, Kentucky plant
to produce Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery storage solutions, focusing on 5 MWh+ modules for data centers, utilities, and industrial customers.
• Scale and Goal: The company plans to deploy at least 20 GWh annually by late 2027, turning underutilized capacity into a high-margin, new profit stream.
• Future Focus: The BlueOval Battery Park in Michigan will focus on smaller cells for residential and commercial storage systems. [3, 5, 8]
3. High-Margin Ford Pro Software Focus
• Recurring Revenue: Ford is leveraging its profitable commercial vehicle division (Ford Pro) to drive higher-margin revenue through telematics, software subscriptions, and charging management for fleet customers.
• Commercial Strategy: This, combined with hybrid/E-REV adoption, aims to maintain uptime and profitability while reducing total cost of ownership for customers. [2, 3, 9, 10, 11]
These combined actions (hybrid pivot, BESS, and software) aim to drive significant earnings per share (EPS) growth beyond 2027. [9]

Ford and Major League Baseball Unite to Celebrate America’s Pastime and the People Who Power ItMarch 23, 2026 7:30 AM
Business Wire
The partnership unites America’s Most Iconic Company with America’s pastime, placing Ford at the center of MLB’s biggest moments, including Opening Day presented by Adobe, All-Star Week, MLB at Field of Dreams, and the World Series presented by Capital One.
As part of the partnership, Ford also secures rights across Minor League Baseball and Little League Baseball and Softball, enabling Ford and local dealers to create local impact through community activations, youth clinics, and equipment donations.
From presenting sponsorship of MLB’s July 4th initiative to fan experiences and sweepstakes tied to the All-Star Game and World Series presented by Capital One, Ford shows up as more than just a sponsor, but as a meaningful part of the baseball journey for families across America.
Ford Motor Company and Major League Baseball today announced a multiyear exclusive partnership that brings together two American icons. As MLB’s Official Automotive Partner, Ford will show up for baseball at every level—from neighborhood Little League fields to the World Series—honoring tradition, celebrating human capability, and powering the moments that matter most.
The partnership unites America’s favorite pastime with America’s Most Iconic Company and America’s bestselling truck, creating a platform that celebrates tradition while showing up for fans in relevant, fan-first ways. For Ford and MLB, the collaboration is rooted in shared values: pride in what we build, commitment to community, and a belief that progress is strongest when it honors where it came from.
“For generations, baseball has brought families and communities together and so has Ford,” said Lisa Materazzo, Ford’s global chief marketing officer. “This partnership is about honoring tradition while putting real capability behind the moments that matter for fans, players, and for the communities that keep the game, and the country, moving forward.”
A partnership that spans the entire game
As part of the agreement, Ford becomes the Official Automotive Partner of Major League Baseball, with a presence across the league’s most iconic moments—including Opening Day presented by Adobe, All-Star Week, MLB at Field of Dreams, and the postseason, culminating in the World Series presented by Capital One. Ford also will serve as the presenting sponsor of MLB’s July 4 initiative. The partnership includes rights across Minor League Baseball and Little League Baseball and Softball, including the Little League World Series, underscoring a shared commitment to the future of the game and the communities that sustain it.
“Ford and MLB are both American heritage brands that continue to innovate in their industries and strengthen their popularity and relevance decade after decade,” said Uzma Rawn Dowler, MLB Chief Marketing Officer & vice president, Global Corporate Partnerships. “We love the creative marketing energy that Ford plans to bring to MLB, while the national scale of our content is sure to drive even greater consideration and fan engagement for our new partner. And the timing of this new relationship is perfect as we all plan to celebrate the 250th anniversary of America.”
By securing rights at the grassroots level, through Minor League Baseball and Little League International, Ford is providing grant funding to Little Leagues in the areas where Ford operates — from Kansas City, Mo., to Buffalo to Detroit — to expand access to youth sports clinics, essential gear, equipment, uniforms and other unique needs of the Little League communities. This builds on Ford dealers’ legacy of supporting Little Leagues in their local communities.
Honoring tradition while modernizing it
Ford and MLB are coming together at a moment of transformation for both organizations. The partnership is designed not just to tell that story, but to show it through creative, unexpected moments that feel authentic to fans and communities.
From celebrating the workers who manufacture the equipment that makes the game possible to spotlighting the local fields where young players first fall in love with baseball, the collaboration bridges nostalgic Americana with a tech-forward future, proving that tradition and innovation are strongest when they move forward together.
A legacy deeply rooted in baseball
Ford’s relationship with baseball spans generations, dating back to early World Series broadcasts, community programs, and longstanding ties to teams, players, and fans. Entering the 2026 season, Ford has active partnerships with 10 MLB Clubs: Athletics, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Cincinnati Reds, Kansas City Royals, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates and St. Louis Cardinals. This new partnership builds on that history, positioning Ford not as a logo on a stadium wall, but as an active participant in the journeys of the families and communities who fuel the game.
Ford and Major League Baseball are also inviting fans to step up to the plate with the Drive Them Home Sweepstakes. Entrants can win tickets to the All-Star Game presented by Mastercard, along with a chance to drive home a 2026 F150® Lariat® with available PowerBoost® Hybrid V6 engine, a 2026 Expedition® Platinum® SUV, or a 2026 Bronco® Badlands® SUV.
Through this collaboration, Ford and MLB aim to foster a renewed sense of pride, connection, and possibility—reminding fans that the best of America is found wherever people come together to work hard, play hard, and support one another.

Ford Q4 profit misses estimates, but 2026 guidance seen as solidFebruary 11, 2026 6:57 AM
IH Market News
Ford Motor (NYSE:F) reported fourth-quarter earnings that fell short of profit expectations but exceeded revenue forecasts, while issuing a stronger outlook for 2026 despite rising tariff-related costs.Shares were marginally higher in premarket trading Wednesday, up less than 1%.The Dearborn, Michigan-based automaker posted adjusted earnings of $0.13 per share for the fourth quarter, missing analyst estimates by $0.05.Quarterly revenue climbed to $45.9 billion, ahead of the $44.2 billion consensus forecast. For full-year 2025, Ford generated total revenue of $187.3 billion.The company recorded a net loss of $11.1 billion in the fourth quarter and $8.2 billion for the year, largely reflecting special items.On an adjusted basis, fourth-quarter EBIT totaled $1.0 billion, below the $1.2 billion analysts had expected. Full-year adjusted EBIT reached $6.8 billion. Operating cash flow for 2025 stood at $21.3 billion, with adjusted free cash flow of $3.5 billion.Looking ahead, Ford projected 2026 adjusted EBIT in the range of $8 billion to $10 billion, along with adjusted free cash flow of $5 billion to $6 billion. Capital expenditures are expected to total between $9.5 billion and $10.5 billion, as the company continues investing in next-generation vehicles and operational efficiency.Morgan Stanley analysts noted that “the midpoint of the 2026 adj. EBIT guidance came in 5.4% below our estimate and 1.2% below consensus.”“Tariffs drove a modest miss in 4Q while ongoing Novelis-related costs drove the midpoint of the 2026 EBIT guide below expectations,” they added.Chief Executive Officer Jim Farley said Ford delivered a “strong 2025 in a dynamic and often volatile environment,” highlighting efforts to reduce material and warranty expenses while improving vehicle quality.Chief Financial Officer Sherry House said the company’s disciplined capital allocation strategy and product pipeline should help expand margins over time.Barclays analyst Dan Levy said Ford’s 2026 forecast “largely cleared the bar.”“While we await more details from the call, the initial underlying assumptions seem reasonable,” he said.Ford expects roughly $2 billion in tariff-related costs this year, stemming from measures imposed under President Donald Trump, with a significant portion linked to aluminum sourcing for its F-150 pickup trucks.The automaker reaffirmed its long-term target of achieving an 8% adjusted EBIT margin by 2029, as it seeks to offset cost pressures while improving execution across its traditional and electric vehicle segments.Ford stock price

U.S. payrolls in focus; Ford absorbs $900 million tariff charge – markets in motion: Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq, Wall Street FuturesFebruary 11, 2026 5:27 AM
IH Market News
Futures tied to the main U.S. equity benchmarks edged higher ahead of a closely watched employment report that could shape expectations for Federal Reserve rate policy later this year. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) recorded a sizeable charge related to a delay in U.S. tariff relief, but stronger-than-anticipated guidance supported its shares in extended trading. Meanwhile, an activist investor is reportedly urging Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (NASDAQ:WBD) to reject an approach from Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX), adding another chapter to the protracted takeover story.
Futures tick higher
By 02:33 ET, Dow futures were up 91 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 futures gained 12 points, also 0.2%, while Nasdaq 100 futures advanced 48 points, or 0.2%.On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at a fresh record, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite slipped, pressured in part by renewed concerns about the impact of emerging artificial intelligence tools.Financial stocks were hit after wealth management start-up Altruis launched an AI-driven tax planning product. The Charles Schwab Corporation (NYSE:SCHW) fell more than 7%, while Raymond James Financial, Inc. (NYSE:RJF) posted its steepest one-day drop since the height of the 2020 pandemic turmoil.The selloff echoed recent AI-related weakness in insurance brokers and software names, reflecting concerns that the rapidly evolving technology could disrupt a wide range of industries, though some analysts argue these fears may be exaggerated.Weak retail sales data also dampened sentiment, prompting speculation that economic growth could slow in 2026. Expectations for a more dovish Federal Reserve stance increased, with CME FedWatch showing higher odds of a rate cut as early as April.
Employment report awaited
Against this backdrop, the spotlight turns to the delayed January U.S. jobs report.Economists expect payrolls to have risen by about 66,000 in January, up from 50,000 in December.At its most recent meeting, the Federal Reserve described the labor market as “stabilizing” after a period of weakness. Combined with still-elevated but steady inflation, this assessment led policymakers to keep rates unchanged in the 3.5% to 3.75% range.Earlier this week, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett cautioned that advances in AI could weigh on job growth in the coming months, even as productivity improves.Uncertainty around employment and inflation — the Fed’s two key mandates — clouds the outlook for 2026. Today’s payrolls figures, along with Friday’s consumer price data, may provide clearer signals about the direction of rates next year.“Today’s jobs report is a pivotal event for the [foreign exchange] market. A materially weak print would likely pave the way for markets to price in a cut in April,” analysts at ING Groep N.V. wrote.
Ford hit by tariff delay
Ford shares edged higher in after-hours trading after the company issued guidance that topped expectations.The automaker projected annual operating income of roughly $9 billion, ahead of Wall Street’s $8.85 billion estimate. Forecast free cash flow of $5.5 billion also exceeded projections.However, Ford posted a fourth-quarter operating loss of $11.1 billion — the largest in its history — after taking a $900 million charge tied to a delay in the implementation of a Trump-era tariff relief program.Chief Financial Officer Sherry House said the company was informed of the “unexpected” shift “very late” in 2025.
Warner battle intensifies
Separately, takeover developments around Warner Bros. Discovery continued to unfold.The Wall Street Journal reported that activist investor Ancora Holdings has accumulated a stake worth roughly $200 million in Warner and plans to press the company to reject Netflix’s substantial bid for its film and television assets and HBO Max platform.According to the report, Ancora may disclose its position as soon as Wednesday and argue that Warner has not sufficiently considered a competing proposal from Paramount Skydance, led by David Ellison, which envisions acquiring the entire company rather than select divisions.Paramount has reportedly sweetened its offer by proposing additional cash payments to Warner shareholders for each quarter the transaction remains incomplete and by covering any breakup fee linked to abandoning the Netflix deal. However, the overall bid — valued at $108.4 billion including debt — remains unchanged.
Gold and oil move higher
Gold prices climbed after weak U.S. retail sales reinforced expectations of cooling economic momentum, heightening anticipation around payrolls data.Spot gold rose 0.4% to $5,047.08 per ounce, while futures gained 0.8% to $5,071.34, though prices remained below recent record highs.Oil prices also advanced. Brent crude increased 1.2% to $69.64 per barrel, and U.S. West Texas Intermediate gained 1.3% to $64.81 per barrel.Ford stock priceWarner Brothers Discovery stock priceNetflix stock priceCharles Schwab stock priceRaymond James stock price
