Ford Motor suspended its 2025 financial guidance Monday, citing “near-term risks, especially the potential for industrywide supply chain disruption impacting production” and the potential for more tariffs as reasons it pulled its outlook. The automaker expects a $2.5 billion impact from President Trump’s tariffs this year, but the company said it believes it can offset $1 billion of those costs, bringing the total impact down to $1.5 billion. Without the tariffs, Ford said it was “tracking” toward its initial guidance that it issued in February. Ford beat Wall Street’s top- and bottom-line expectations for the first quarter.
5. Shopping cart strain
