Industrials editor Brendan Byrnes discusses Ford's recent earnings announcement. The auto company earned 57% less than last year's quarter, but still beat expectations on strong sales in North America. Unsurprisingly, European difficulties continued to weigh down Ford, as the company will lose $1 billion this year thanks to Europe. We just might see a big decision, perhaps a factory closing, coming out of Ford soon.
Ford has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt.
