Ford Motor Company Shares Dropped 9% on Q4 Miss
<p><a href='https://financialmodelingprep.com/financial-summary/F'>Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) </a>shares closed more than 9% lower on Friday following the company’s Q4 results, with adjusted EPS coming in at $0.26, significantly lower than the consensus estimate of  $0.45. </p>
<p>While investors’ negative initial reaction was focused on the company’s quarterly miss and a low implied 2021 exit rate, analysts at Deutsche Bank said they are more concerned about management’s in-line 2022 outlook, because they view it as potentially aggressive. </p>
<p>The company’s Q4 EBIT of $2 billion did come well below expectations, with particular underperformance in North America, but this partly reflected stoppages in SuperDuty truck production due to chip constraints, which are now resolved. </p>
<p>The analysts worry that management’s 2022 EBIT guidance for $11.5-12.5 billion, could be too optimistic on volume, pricing and commodities cost assumptions.</p>
