Ford's in a Box of Chocolates: Tariffs and 2025 Plans - You Never Know What You're Gonna Get!

Mama Always Said 'Ford is as Ford Does'

Now I ain't no Wall Street wizard but folks are all worked up about Ford's earnings. Seems like they're fixin' to report after the market closes but everyone's more interested in what's gonna happen in 2025. It's like waitin' for Christmas but instead of presents it's all about numbers and President Trump's tariffs. Mama always said 'Ford is as Ford does,' but even she'd be scratchin' her head at this one.

Tariffs Tariffs Everywhere!

These here tariffs are like a storm cloud hangin' over the whole automotive shindig. Twenty five percent on imported cars and parts? That's a whole lotta shrimp! Wall Street's gettin' nervous downgrading stocks like they're goin' outta style. Ford's caught right in the middle. They even stopped sendin' cars to China which is like takin' your ball and goin' home ain't it?

Run Ford Run! Away from Uncertainty?

They're sayin' Ford might only make two cents a share. Two cents! I found more than that stuck to my shoe once. Revenue's down too like someone stepped on the brakes. Last year they were doin' just fine but now well it's like Jenny always said 'Things change.' Even Mr. Farley the big cheese at Ford ain't spillin' the beans on what these tariffs are gonna do. Seems like everyone's runnin' but nobody knows where to.

Life is Like a Box of 2025 Forecasts

Ford had some big plans for 2025 like makin' a whole heap of money. But now with these tariffs it's like a box of chocolates – you never know what you're gonna get! Their rivals General Motors already lowered their expectations sayin' the tariffs are gonna hit them hard. It’s kinda like when Bubba told me all the ways to cook shrimp then we ran out of shrimp.

Bubba Would Know What to Do With Tariffs!

I ain't no economist but even I can see this tariff business is messin' things up. It's like tryin' to catch a greased pig at a county fair. You might grab it for a second but it's gonna slip right outta your hands. Bubba would probably know what to do with these tariffs. He knew everything about shrimp maybe he knew about tariffs too.

And That's All I Have to Say About That...

So there you have it. Ford's in a bit of a pickle all thanks to these here tariffs. What's gonna happen? Well that's anybody's guess. But like Mama always said 'Put the past behind you before you go forward.' And that’s all I have to say about that.
