The EV revolution has hit a stumbling block. Sure, sales are technically rising, but they’re not rising anywhere near as quickly as projected. Automakers like Ford are losing big on each vehicle sold, with losses totaling in the billions — and now, The Verge reports that Ford is starting to wonder if maybe it should have hedged its bets on smaller, more affordable cars as opposed to expensive fully-loaded electric SUVs.

Ford Motor on Wednesday evening delivered higher than expected profits in the first quarter, driven by strength in its commercial business. Positive updates to its full-year outlook helped send shares rallying by roughly 2.5% in after-hours trading. Automotive revenue increased 2% year over year, to $38.89 billion, missing analysts' forecasts of $40.1 billion, according to estimates compiled by LSEG. Adjusted earnings-per-share fell 22% to 49 cents, beating EPS estimates of 42 cents. Earnings before interest and taxes declined 19% from last year to $2.76 billion, but the EBIT was better than the $2.47 billion analysts forecasted. Ford Why we own it : We're in Ford due to management's focus on getting out of money-losing businesses, increasing product quality, and quickly shifting production based on consumer preferences. All of these factors stand to support higher earnings and cash flow over time, which will in turn lend themselves to greater shareholder returns via dividends and buybacks. Competitors : General Motors , Tesla and Stellantis Weight in portfolio : 2.14% Most recent buy : Dec. 29, 2022 Initiated : Nov. 24, 2020 Bottom line Ford's results show it is off to a solid start to the year. Profits came in much better than expected, thanks to its Ford Pro unit, which every quarter looks more and more undervalued and misunderstood by Wall Street. In fact, one analyst on the conference call —influential Adam Jonas of Morgan Stanley — speculated that a 10 times EBIT multiple on the Pro business alone could value the segment at double Ford's entire market cap of $51.75 billion. The momentum in Pro and the durable profits it generates is why we continue to be baffled by how Ford trades at one of the lowest price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples in the S & P 500 . To take advantage of...
