Company News
Ford announced it will end production of Lincoln vehicles in China for export to the US, whilst General Motors is reportedly ceasing sales of its Chevrolet brand in China. Ford will expand Lincoln production in the US, where it currently manufactures the luxury brand in Louisville and Chicago. The moves reflect American automakers' retreat from China as local rivals like BYD and Geely expand globally. Chinese manufacturers have been engaged in aggressive price competition, leveraging excess production capacity to undercut competitors worldwide. Meanwhile, Chinese automakers are exploring routes into the US market, likely through North American production rather than direct exports. However, a Trump administration report criticising Mexico as one of "China's biggest enablers" could complicate Mexican manufacturing plans.
General Motors is outpacing Ford in the electric vehicle race, according to recent analysis. GM's market capitalisation stands at $77.9 billion, with a portfolio including Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick brands. The company's strategy focuses on profitability over rapid production scaling. GM has incurred $10.9 billion in EV-related charges since the second half of 2025 whilst restructuring operations. The approach is yielding results. North American adjusted EBIT grew 40% year-over-year to $3.4 billion, with margins improving to 8.6%. In the first half of 2026, GM generated $92 billion in revenue and $6.3 billion in adjusted automotive free cash flow. GM expects EV losses to improve by $1 billion to $1.5 billion this year, having already realised roughly $500 million of that improvement.
Ford Motor Co. CEO Jim Farley has endorsed renewing the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, calling it "critical" for competing with Japanese and South Korean automakers. During the company's second-quarter 2026 earnings call, Farley said Ford has had "really good" conversations with the Trump administration, including US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, as well as officials from Ottawa and Mexico City. Farley stated Ford would support revising the USMCA "as long as it allows the promotion of more competitive US auto sector". He highlighted Ford's manufacturing operations in Oakville, Ontario, as crucial for the automaker's future. Ford reported second-quarter revenue of $44.89 billion, missing the market consensus of $45.81 billion. The company raised its full-year 2026 adjusted EBIT guidance to $10 billion to $11 billion, up from prior guidance of $8.5 billion to $10.5 billion.
General Motors and Ford both surpassed second-quarter earnings expectations, demonstrating resilience amid tariffs, slowing EV demand, and high interest rates. GM shares have surged 18% this month, whilst Ford is up 11%. GM reported Q2 revenue of $48.02 billion, up nearly 2% year-over-year and exceeding estimates by 3%. Adjusted earnings per share of $3.57 jumped 41% and beat expectations of $3.13. The company raised its full-year guidance for the second time, lifting adjusted EBIT outlook to $14 billion–$16 billion and earnings per share guidance to $12–$14. GM's North America operations delivered an 8.6% adjusted EBIT margin, driven by strong truck and SUV demand and improving EV profitability. The company's trailing 12-month EBIT margin stands at 5.78%, significantly above Ford and the industry average of 2.81%.
Citigroup has upgraded Ford Motor to Buy and raised its price target to $20 from $19, citing improving F-Series production and easing supply constraints. The new target implies roughly 34% upside from Tuesday's close of $14.96. Ford recently reported second-quarter revenue of $48.3 billion and adjusted EBIT of $2.5 billion, up $400 million year-over-year. The company raised its full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10 billion to $11 billion from $8.5 billion to $10.5 billion. Citi analyst Michael Ward noted that June F-Series output reached its highest level since August. The bank increased its 2026-through-2028 earnings estimates, pointing to accelerating truck production, lower warranty accruals, improved aluminium supply, and moderating material costs as positive factors for the second half.
