๐ฐ Ford $F rises +3% on Q2 beat and raised 2026 profit outlook -- old-school autos outshine chip wreck
Ford Motor delivered a solid Q2 beat Wednesday and lifted its 2026 earnings guidance, sending shares up 3% as industrial names quietly outperform a volatile tech session. The Fed voted to hold rates steady today (with three dissenters favoring a hike), keeping consumer auto financing conditions stable -- a tailwind Ford needs. With semis selling off and macro headlines noisy, Ford is looking like a relative safe harbor midday. Is the rotation from high-multiple tech to value real this time? Not financial advice.
