Ford beats revenue estimates in Q4, with weaker-than-expected earnings

The Detroit automaker released its fourth-quarter and full-year results after the bell on Tuesday.

Detroit automaker Ford reported its Q4 earnings after the market closed on Tuesday, capping off a year dominated by tariffs, major EV policy shifts, and multiple fires at a key supplier’s factory.

Shares were modestly higher in after-hours trading. In its results, the company:

Posted adjusted earnings of $0.13 per share, vs. the $0.18 per-share consensus.
Booked $45.9 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, down 5% year over year but ahead of expectations of $43.6 billion.

Looking ahead, Ford said it expects adjusted earnings before interest and taxes of between $8 billion and $10 billion for the 2026 fiscal year. Analysts polled by FactSet had estimated $9.05 billion. Ford expects its electrified vehicles segment, Ford Model e, to lose between $4 billion and $4.5 billion in the year ahead.

Earlier this month, Ford reported a 5.3% drop in US sales in January. Truck sales dropped 9%, and EV sales plunged 69%. The automaker discontinued production of two SUVs in mid-December as part of its plan to launch its new EV production process in Louisville. The company plans to have a new $30,000 EV truck in 2027.

Robinhood Q4 revenue misses estimates, but earnings beat

Robinhood Markets posted fourth-quarter revenue that fell short of analysts’ estimates, but earnings topped Wall Street’s forecasts.

Shares of the company were down 5.4% shortly after the report.

Robinhood shares notched gains of 193% and 204% in 2024 and 2025, respectively, though they’ve recently given up some of those gains amid volatility in the crypto markets.

The tech sector’s biggest winners and losers are swapping places

It’s bizarro world for the tech sector.

Software stocks, the market’s collective whipping boy in 2026 in light of the presumptive threat of AI disruption, are continuing to recover on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the biggest winners of the AI boom this year — memory stocks, benefiting from intense shortages — are taking their turn in the red.

The iShares Expanded Tech Software ETF’s gains are being led by Datadog, a rare case of a software stock rising after reporting earnings this season, with heavyweights Oracle and ServiceNow outperforming the industry. Figma, which isn’t in this product, is also up double digits.

On the other side of the spectrum, Micron, Sandisk, Seagate Technology Holdings, and Western Digital are selling off.

The seesaw of modern markets often requires that as one group’s fortunes inflect positively after a long drubbing, so too must a high-flyer have its wings clipped.

That is, if you’re a portfolio manager long memory and short software stocks, and enough investors are willing to catch a falling knife and buy the beaten-down group, staying market-neutral and reducing this position would require you to purchase software and dump some memory stocks.

Michael Burry flags bearish technical pattern in Palantir, says he’s “working on something”

Trader and widely followed Substacker Michael Burry, once of “The Big Short” fame, called out a bearish technical trend for Palantir in a post on X last night.

He spotlighted what he interprets as a “head and shoulders” pattern in the stock, considered a bearish omen among the international community of chart-watchers.

Along with that, he’s also mapped out Fibonacci retracement levels, another popular technical analysis tool to identify key prices the shares might fall to or rebound from. Burry’s chart highlights the level around $84 as the “Next Support” for the stock and $54.50 as the “Landing Area.”
