Ford reports loss as it sees 2025 tariff hit of $2 bn

Ford reported a narrow loss on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) despite surging sales from consumers seeking to beat tariff impacts as the automaker projected a $2 billion full-year earnings hit due to the levies, according to news agency AFP.

The major US automaker pointed to one-time costs related to vehicle recalls and the cancellation of an electric vehicle program as factors behind a second-quarter loss of $36 million, compared to profits of $1.8 billion in the prior year.

But revenues jumped 5.0 percent to $50.2 billion, a record, as the company notched robust sales of popular truck models and reported strong demand for new sport utility models.

The automaker estimated the second-quarter impact from tariffs to be about $800 million, and it projected a full-year gross tariff hit of $3 billion for 2025, although Ford said it was able to offset about $1 billion of the costs.

US President Donald Trump has announced a slew of tariffs on other countries and on key materials like steel, while pursuing trade deals with major partners.

So far, Trump has sealed agreements with Japan and the European Union that set imports of finished cars at 15 percent. That levy is below the current 25 percent tariff on autos imported from Mexico and Canada. Ford is also affected by Trump’s tariffs on imported auto parts.
