— 2 · Why it's nail-able — and why only 85%

A $8.5–10.5bn full-year guide implies solidly profitable quarters — tariffs/recalls are the tail.

Ford's full-year adjusted-EBIT guide of $8.5–10.5bn and its 'fairly consistent' quarterly framing imply ~$2bn+ of adj EBIT per quarter; a positive Q2 is the base case. We hold 85%, not higher, because autos are cyclical and Ford carries idiosyncratic risk — tariff costs, a large warranty/recall charge, or a Ford Pro/Model-e swing could compress a single quarter. Resolves against Ford's reported Q2 adjusted EBIT.
