Ford Motor Expects Aluminum Plant Fires to Dent 2026 Earnings -- Market Talk

1609 ET - Ford Motor expects recent fires at its aluminum supplier's plant to weigh on its earnings in 2026. The carmaker expected earnings before interest and taxes to be $8 billion to $10 billion, which would be lower than analysts were expecting. In the first half of the year, costs related to finding alternative aluminum sources will dent earnings, Ford says. Multiple fires last year damaged an aluminum plant owned by Novelis, where Ford was a primary customer. Ford expects full-year volume to decline 5% in its Ford Blue business and be flat in Ford Pro, with both divisions impacted by the fires, it says. (katherine.hamilton@wsj.com)
