Ford recently reported its third-quarter earnings, which exceeded analyst expectations. However, earnings have declined compared to the previous year. The company adjusted its 2025 earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) forecast to between $6 and $6.5 billion. This adjustment is due to a fire at the Novelis plant, as highlighted by Zacks.

The stock has seen a daily range between $12.72 and $13.72, with the latter being its highest price in the past year. The lowest price in the past year was $8.44, indicating significant volatility.
