Ford Motor Company Earnings: 3 Things to Watch

Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) will report its second-quarter earnings result before the U.S. markets open on Oct. 26. Here's a quick preview, along with a look at three things to watch, as Ford's earnings report unfolds on Thursday morning. 

Wall Street thinks that Ford's third-quarter earnings will be up, but its revenue will be lower than its year-ago result. In the third quarter of 2016, Ford earned $0.26 per share (excluding special items) on revenue of $35.9 billion. This time around, Wall Street analysts polled by Thomson Reuters expect Ford's earnings, again excluding any special items, to come in at $0.33 per share, on average, with revenue of $32.84 billion.
