The carmaker blamed production disruptions from a fire at a Novelis aluminum supplier, higher tariff costs, and persistent pricing pressure in EVs. However, quarterly sales rose to $45.9 billion, beating estimates.Ford guided to full-year 2026 adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $8 billion to $10 billion, in line with Wall Street forecasts and higher than the $6.8 billion generated last year. Most of that profit is expected to come from its commercial vehicle business, with EBIT projected at $6.5 billion to $7.5 billion. Gas and hybrid models are expected to contribute another $4 billion to $4.5 billion.The company also said its Model e unit is likely to post losses of $4 billion to $4.5 billion next year. It plans to increase capital spending to $9.5 billion to $10.5 billion and targets free cash flow of $5 billion to $6 billion.The quarter included $15.5 billion in special charges tied largely to Ford’s EV strategy reset, as demand cooled and policy support weakened. The company said another $7 billion in charges is expected across 2026 and 2027.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Ford Faces Growing Competition From China</h2>Meanwhile, Ford is facing increasing competition from Chinese automakers globally. China’s BYD overtook Ford in global vehicle sales for the first time last year as Ford’s wholesales fell nearly 2% in 2025 to just under 4.4 million vehicles, while BYD reported about 4.6 million.&nbsp;<img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/koyfin_20260211_124624827_png_06a912dca4.webp" alt="koyfin_20260211_124624827.png">Ford gained ground in the U.S., but lost share in Europe and especially China, where domestic players such as BYD, Xiaomi, and Geely are winning customers with lower-priced, tech-heavy EVs.

One option under consideration involves importing BYD-made batteries to Ford plants outside the U.S.In addition to Ford, Tesla also lost its crown as the world’s top EV seller to BYD after annual deliveries fell for a second straight year.

Ford Stock Steadies Overnight After Huge Earnings Miss — But A Great Chinese Challenge Emerges

The carmaker guided to a broadly in-line 2026 EBIT of $8 billion-$10 billion, led by strength in commercial vehicles.

Ford Stock Steadies After Huge Earnings Miss, But BYD Threat Looms Large

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>BYD previewed the Song Ultra EV, a higher-powered, all-electric addition, with advanced driver-assistance features.</li><li>The Song family remains a key sales driver despite softer momentum late last year.</li><li>The teaser comes as BYD leans more heavily on overseas growth, targeting roughly 1.3 million EV sales outside China.</li></ul>BYD shares rose nearly 1% in Hong Kong after the EV maker offered a first look at the Song Ultra EV, signaling another refresh of a lineup that has long carried its domestic sales.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">BYD Previews New Song Ultra EV&nbsp;</h2>The Song Ultra EV will be the newest addition to BYD’s Song family. Lu Tian, who oversees sales for the Dynasty lineup, posted the first image on Weibo and described it as the brand’s first B-class pure electric SUV. Details remain limited, but the model entered China’s industry regulator catalog last month, a typical step just ahead of a launch, according to a&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://cnevpost.com/2026/02/04/byd-teases-song-ultra-ev/">report</a> by CnEVPost.Dimension-wise, it is slightly larger than the Song L EV and brings more muscle. The Song Ultra EV uses a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive setup with up to 270 kW of power and a top speed of 210 km/h. BYD also plans to offer optional LiDAR, alongside its “God’s Eye B” driver-assistance system with Urban Navigation on Autopilot.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Song Lineup Remains a Core Sales Driver for BYD</h2>The Song series is still one of BYD’s biggest sellers, making up about 17% of group sales in 2025, or roughly 788,000 vehicles. Even so, momentum has cooled toward year-end, with December sales down 56% from a year earlier. Updating a core model like the Song is one way BYD is trying to steady volumes at home.Beyond China, BYD has been accelerating its global expansion. The company has said it is targeting a roughly&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/watch-out-tesla-byd-plans-to-boost-sales-outside-china-as-ev-push-revs-up/cmy7k8JR4WH">25% increase</a> in overseas EV sales, aiming to sell about 1.3 million vehicles outside China this year. In 2025, BYD delivered about 4.6 million vehicles globally, overtaking Tesla to become the world’s largest EV seller, helped by strong growth in exports to Europe, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment was ‘bearish’ amid ‘normal’ message volume.<figure class="image"><img src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/byddf_ss_png_d171b419a0.webp" alt="byddf ss.png" width="969" height="144"><figcaption>BYDDF sentiment and message volume as of February 4 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/BYDDF">BYD’s U.S.-listed stock</a> has declined nearly 2% over the past 12 months.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

BYD Stock Rises In Hong Kong After Teasing Song Ultra EV In Bestselling SUV Family

Updating a core model like the Song is one way BYD is trying to steady volumes at home.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>January sales data pressured Chinese EV stocks across the board.</li><li>Nio’s deliveries jumped year-on-year but fell sharply from December.</li><li>The third-generation ES8 SUV delivered 17,646 units during the month, accounting for nearly 65% of total deliveries.&nbsp;</li></ul>Shares of Nio slid nearly 6% in Hong Kong trading on Monday,&nbsp;trading&nbsp;in line with a broad sell-off&nbsp;witnessed across Chinese electric vehicle stocks, even after the company posted a sharp jump in January deliveries.Other Chinese EV makers, including XPeng dropped nearly 9%, Li Auto fell around 4%, and BYD slid roughly 8% as investors digested fresh sales data from across the sector.<h2 class="st-heading-2">China EV Opens The Year On A Soft Note</h2>The plunge comes after January delivery numbers suggested a bumpy start to 2023 for much of China’s EV sector.BYD, China’s biggest new energy vehicle producer, sold 210,051 cars in January, down 30.1% annually. XPeng made 20,011 deliveries, down 34.1% on an annual basis and plunging 46.7% from December.Meanwhile, Li Auto made 27,668 deliveries, marking its eighth straight year-on-year drop, while sales also slumped 37.5% from the previous month.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Nio’s Delivery Growth Fails To Lift Stock</h2>Nio’s delivery volume against that backdrop still stood out, at least when compared with the prior year. The firm said it delivered 27,182 vehicles in January 2026, up 96.1% from a year earlier. However, deliveries declined 43.5% from December, which weighed on investor sentiment.Of those deliveries, 20,894 were Nio-branded vehicles, 3,481 were from its family-oriented sub-brand Onvo, while 2,807 were from its small EV brand Firefly. Cumulative sales rose to 1.02 million as of the end of January, surpassing the one-million-vehicle milestone.<h2 class="st-heading-2">ES8 Emerges As The Standout</h2>Much of Nio’s January performance rested on a single model. The third-generation ES8 SUV delivered 17,646 units during the month, accounting for nearly 65% of total deliveries. This is a dramatic increase from the 446 units delivered in January last year, reflecting the rapid ramp-up following the model’s launch at Nio Day in September 2025.Even so, ES8 deliveries were down about 21% from December’s record 22,258 units, when the model became China’s best-selling large SUV, according to the company. Nio also said it recently delivered its 60,000th third-generation ES8, just two weeks after reaching the 50,000-unit milestone.Deliveries at Onvo fell more than 61% from December, while Firefly deliveries dropped over 60% month-on-month. More detailed model-level data is expected later this month.<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment for Nio was ‘extremely bullish’ amid ‘extremely high’ message volume.One user described the sell-off as an “excellent buying opportunity,” saying they were preparing to add to their position and would increase purchases if the stock dropped further.<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/nanthor/message/643636266</stembedurl>Another user said, “looking like the es8 may be the savior of this company.”<stembedurl>https://stocktwits.com/nml7/message/643625997</stembedurl><a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/NIO">Nio’s U.S.-listed stock</a> has risen 6% over the past 12 months.For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Watch Out, Tesla: BYD Plans To Boost Sales Outside China As EV Push Revs Up

Tesla, Inc. investors may want to pay close attention. China's BYD Co. is increasingly setting its sights on the U.S. EV maker's core markets. BYD is targeting a 25% increase in electric vehicle sales outside China this year, 

China’s BYD plans to boost sales outside its home market by 25% this year.


<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Ford and BYD are reportedly discussing how a potential partnership would work.</li><li>BYD hasn't made passenger car batteries in the U.S. till date.&nbsp;</li><li>Ford is also putting up a battery plant in Michigan where it intends to build low cost cells starting this year with the help of technology from Chinese battery maker CATL.</li></ul> Dearborn-based automaker Ford Motor Co. (F) is reportedly in talks with BYD Co. Ltd. (BYDDF) about a potential partnership involving the use of the Chinese player’s batteries in Ford’s hybrid vehicles.The Wall Street Journal <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/ford-byd-in-talks-for-hybrid-vehicle-batteries-after-ev-market-flames-out-3808e678?mod=wsj_FV">reported</a> on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter, that the talks are continuing and might not culminate in a deal. The two carmakers are reportedly discussing how a potential partnership would work, and are considering ideas including Ford importing batteries from BYD to non-U.S. factories.Shares of F traded marginally in the green at the time of writing.<h2 class="st-heading-2">BYD’s EV And Battery Capacities</h2>BYD is the world’s largest EV maker. Unlike its American counterpart Tesla, BYD makes both plug-in hybrid, and battery-powered electric vehicles.The company makes most of its batteries in China but it is also building capacity in overseas plants. While BYD has made some batteries for commercial vehicles at its California bus-manufacturing plant, it hasn't yet made passenger car batteries in the U.S., WSJ noted.Meanwhile, Ford is also putting up a battery plant in Michigan, where it intends to build low-cost cells starting this year with the help of technology from Chinese battery maker Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. (CATL) to power its future electric vehicles.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Ford’s Pivot Away From EVs</h2>The report of the new deal talks comes on the heels of Ford realigning its EV strategy last month, pivoting away from pure EVs, and towards hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles.Ford said in December that it expects to incur $19.5 billion in EV-related charges after it killed several big EV models to stem losses from the segment. While a majority of the charges would be incurred in the fourth quarter, the remaining will be incurred in 2026 and 2027, the company said.“Ford no longer plans to produce select larger electric vehicles where the business case has eroded due to lower-than-expected demand, high costs and regulatory changes,” the company had said.CEO Jim Farley had noted that the move is centered on customer demand. “The operating reality has changed, and we are redeploying capital into higher-return growth opportunities: Ford Pro, our market-leading trucks and vans, hybrids and high margin opportunities like our new battery energy storage business,” he said.In the fourth quarter of 2025, the automaker reported that its hybrid sales rose about 18% to 55,374 vehicles while pure EV sales declined by about 52% to 14,513 units.&nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">How Did Stocktwits Users React?</h2>On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around F stock fell from ‘bullish’ to ‘neutral’ territory over the past 24 hours while message volume dipped from ‘extremely high’ to ‘high’ levels.<a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/F">F stock</a> has gained 39% over the past 12 months.&nbsp;Read More: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/disc-medicine-sanofi-eli-lilly-shares-slip-on-reports-of-fda-increasing-review-time-for-drugs/cmU1rSfR4JO">Disc Medicine, Sanofi, Eli Lilly Shares Slip On Reports Of FDA Increasing Review Time For Drugs Granted Priority Review Vouchers</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter, that the talks between the two companies are continuing and might not culminate in a deal.

<ul class="summary-bullets"><li>Tesla shares opened the new year on a dour note following a week of declines and a softer delivery update.</li><li>Musk’s post about dining with Trump drew retail buzz over the weekend.</li><li>Tesla is scheduled to report quarterly earnings on Jan.28.</li></ul>Tesla, Inc.&nbsp;entered 2026 under pressure, posting its seventh consecutive loss on Friday, the first trading day of the year, marking a slide that was followed over the weekend by a post from CEO Elon Musk saying he had a “lovely dinner” with U.S. President Donald Trump and Melania Trump.Elon Musk&nbsp;<a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2007910921914769832">said in a post on X</a> that “2026 is going to be amazing,” alongside a photo showing him seated next to Donald Trump and Melania Trump during a dinner at Mar-a-Lago, hours after Trump announced from the resort that Nicolas Maduro had been taken into U.S. custody.Tesla shares fell about 2.6% to $438.07 on Friday as investors weighed fresh delivery data and intensifying competition.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Q4 Deliveries Decline</h2>Tesla said it delivered 418,227 vehicles in the fourth quarter, down 16% year on year from 495,570 cars a year earlier and below the 422,850 vehicles expected by analysts, according to a company-compiled estimate.For the full year,&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-q4-2025-deliveries/cmxV2RmRE6p">Tesla delivered 1.64 million vehicles</a>, compared with 1.79 million in 2024, marking the company’s second consecutive annual decline in deliveries.Additionally, Tesla said it&nbsp;<a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/tesla-energy-business-might-be-its-saving-grace/cmxVeK8R4GE">deployed 14.2 GWh of energy storage products</a> in the fourth quarter, a record level. The company reported deploying 11 GWh in the same period a year earlier.<h2 class="st-heading-2">BYD Records Higher Annual EV Sales&nbsp;</h2>Tesla ceded its position as the world’s largest electric vehicle maker in 2025 to China’s BYD, after global EV sales rose 28% last year and BYD outsold Tesla on a full-year basis for the first time.BYD delivered a total of 2.26 million pure EVs globally in 2025,&nbsp;adding that overseas sales, excluding China, had hit a record high of 1 million,&nbsp;up nearly 150% year-on-year. The company has set a goal of selling as many as 1.6 million vehicles outside China in 2026, without announcing an overall sales target.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Musk And Trump: A Volatile Bromance</h2>Musk's recent interaction with Trump follows a public rupture last year that directly coincided with volatility in Tesla shares. In June, a dispute between Musk and Trump escalated into an open feud after&nbsp;the president threatened to withdraw federal contracts and subsidies from Musk’s companies amid disagreement over proposed tax legislation.
