福特汽车公司(F.N)周二发布的第四季度财报显示，其当季业绩出现4年来最大的季度盈利不及预期，同 时指引2026年将成为公司业绩反弹的一年。另外，福特首次在全球汽车销量上落后于比亚迪。 福特对2026年的指引包括：经调整息税前利润（EBIT）为80亿至100亿美元，高于去年的68亿美元；经 调整自由现金流为50亿至60亿美元，高于2025年的35亿美元；资本支出为95亿至105亿美元，高于此前 的88亿美元。 根据LSEG的数据，该公司最新的每股收益较一致预期低32%，这是公司自2024年以来首次季度业绩不 及预期，也是自公布2021年第四季度业绩、与预期相差42%以来表现最差的一次。 公司表示，此次业绩不及预期主要源于约9亿美元的意外关税成本，这与汽车零部件抵免政策未能如预 期提前生效有关。截至12月15日，福特原本确认第四季度息税前利润为77亿美元，但额外成本使这一数 字降至68亿美元。 她还称，预计福特在2026年的净关税影响同比大致持平，约为20亿美元。她补充说，诺维利斯火灾在去 年下半年对福特造成了约20亿美元的影响。 豪斯与福特首席执行官吉姆·法利（Jim Farley）表示，尽管存在影响业绩的特 ...
