Ford Posts Record Revenue, Focuses on Profitable Vehicles

Ford's Q4 results show a path to improved profitability through its Ford Pro commercial business and higher-margin products.

Published on Feb. 26, 2026

While Ford's Q4 results may have disappointed some investors, the company's full-year 2025 performance showed record revenue of $187.3 billion, its fifth consecutive year of growth. Ford is pivoting its sales strategy away from less profitable full-electric vehicles (EVs) and toward more profitable gasoline-powered SUVs, trucks, and hybrid options. The company's Ford Pro commercial business generated $6.8 billion in earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) in 2025 at a 10.3% margin, outpacing its traditional Ford Blue vehicle-selling business.

Why it matters

Ford's shift toward higher-margin products and its growing Ford Pro commercial business highlight the company's efforts to improve profitability and boost its stock price, which has remained largely flat over the past three years despite strong industry performance from competitors like GM.

The details

Ford was able to deliver $1.5 billion in total cost reductions, 50% more than initial targets, by working to reduce the impact of new tariffs on imported vehicles and parts. Additionally, Ford's Raptor and other performance trims, which generate higher average transaction prices (ATPs) and margins, accounted for 20% of its U.S. sales mix in 2025, a 2 percentage point gain. The F-Series, Ford's best-selling truck line, saw sales increase more than 8% in 2025.
