Over the past five years, Ford Motor Co. has demonstrated a steady upward trend in revenue, growing from US$127.1 billion in 2020 to US$185.0 billion in 2024. This revenue growth generally paralleled improvements in gross profit, which increased from US$14.4 billion in 2020 to US$26.6 billion by 2024. However, the performance in operating income and net income has been less consistent. Notably, 2020 began with an operating loss (–US$4.4 billion) that reversed to a positive US$4.5 billion in 2021, reflecting an impressive turnaround. Yet, while operating income continued in positive territory—peaking at around US$6.3 billion in 2022—it saw a slight decline in subsequent years. Net income experienced significant volatility: a turnaround from a loss of US$1.3 billion in 2020 to a robust profit of US$17.9 billion in 2021, followed by a stark drop to a loss of US$2.0 billion in 2022, before recovering to US$4.3 billion in 2023 and US$5.9 billion in 2024. These fluctuations suggest that while top-line growth remains stable, underlying profitability, particularly net income, has been highly sensitive to year-over-year shifts. The dramatic swing from a net profit in 2021 to a net loss in 2022 exceeds a 100% change, indicating possible issues such as increased non-operating expenses, asset impairments, or unusual market pressures typical of the highly competitive automotive industry. Overall, Ford’s improving revenue and gross profit margins provide a solid foundation, though the volatility in net income and modest decline in operating income in recent years call for closer scrutiny of cost management and non-core business factors. The company appears fundamentally sound, yet its financial sustainability will depend on its ability to stabilize bottom-line performance amid evolving market conditions.
