Ford Losses 11 Billions Dollars Last Quarter Of 2025

It’s hard to believe: Ford closed the fourth quarter of 2025 with a loss of $11.1 billion, or over €9.3 billion. Automotive News notes that this is the largest loss since the global economic downturn of 2008.

Ford’s massive loss is largely due to the cancellation of electric models and plans for electric models. Changing plans on such a scale is simply costly. For the entire year 2025, the loss will remain at “only” $8.2 billion, almost €7 billion. According to Autonews.com, this is the fourth-worst year ever for Ford, which can blame the setback on changes to its EV plans and loss-making EVs, as well as high import duties and aluminum sourcing issues. The massive number of recalls undoubtedly doesn’t help either, although Ford promises improvement in that regard.

Excluding the one-time depreciation, Ford’s so-called EBIT (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) still comes out positive, but at $6.8 billion, it’s considerably lower than the $10.2 billion in 2024. In the rather empty corner of good news, we also find a 1 percent increase in sales, despite a 2 percent decrease in total car sales.

Ford is cautiously optimistic about 2026, which seems somewhat justified given the one-off nature of many massive expenses and setbacks. However, there’s serious work to be done for Ford, which is currently pursuing a sometimes difficult-to-understand policy in both the US and Europe. Fortunately, the brand’s massive pickup trucks are selling like hotcakes as usual…
