Ford raised EBIT guide, strong fundamentals
Ford delivered a strong Q1 beat with 3.5 billion adjusted EBIT, raised full-year EBIT guidance by $500 million to $8.5-10.5 billion, driven by global revenue growth of 6%, strong net pricing, product mix, highest revenue share in five years, recurring revenue from Pro software and services up 30% with gross margins above 50%, and on-track cost savings of $1 billion this year. Truck sales remain resilient due to commercial non-discretionary demand and improved fuel efficiency, mitigating gas price impact.
