What happened
Shares of Ford Motor Company ( F 2.85% ) were lower in early-afternoon trading on Friday after the company reported fourth-quarter earnings that fell short of Wall Street estimates. As of 12:30 p.m. ET, Ford's shares were down about 10.7% from Thursday's closing price.
So what
Ford reported its fourth-quarter results after the U.S. markets closed on Thursday, and they were hit and miss -- at least from Wall Street's perspective. While revenue of $37.7 billion came in above the Street's estimate, the more critical number -- adjusted earnings per share -- fell short: $0.26 per share, versus the consensus estimate of $0.45.
NYSE: F
Full-year adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (adjusted EBIT) was $10 billion, well within the guidance range ($9.6 billion to $10.6 billion) provided by Ford in October.
Now what
Ford's outlook for 2022 is upbeat. The company expects adjusted EBIT of between $11.5 billion and $12.5 billion for the full year, with strong positive free cash flow as its global business units reap the benefits of the profit-enhancing "redesign" that has unfolded over the past few years.
