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.

What happened

Shares of Ford Motor Company ( F 3.96% ) were trading down on Wednesday, after the company previewed a series of one-time items it expects to report with its fourth-quarter earnings.

So what

At first glance, Ford's preview, released after the U.S. markets closed on Tuesday, was good news. The company said it will report a fourth-quarter gain of $8.2 billion on its stake in Rivian Automotive ( RIVN -0.44% ), which went public late last year.

Now what

Auto investors can look ahead to Ford's fourth-quarter and full-year earnings report on Feb. 3 after the U.S. markets close, during which -- we hope -- Ford will make clear to Wall Street that this accounting change had no material effect on its finances.
