TL;DR
Ford Q3 profits fall 57%, guidance lowered for the year
Ford Motor Co. lowered its guidance for the year after reporting third-quarter profits fell 57% in due to charges from an ongoing restructuring and the formation of a new joint venture in India.
And the Dearborn automaker expects higher warranty charges, higher-than-planned incentives, and struggling sales in China will drag on profits through the end of the year, Ford Chief Financial Officer Tim Stone said Wednesday. Ford expects to make between $6.5 and $7 billion in 2019; that could be lower than the $7 billion in profits before taxes the automaker made in 2018.
