Ford’s Stock Slides as Production Delays Weigh on Momentum Despite Rivian Pact and 170th-Ranked $560M Trading Volume

On August 28, 2025, Ford Motor Co (F) closed with a 1.68% decline, trading at $... with $560 million in volume, ranking 170th among the day’s most actively traded stocks. The move followed mixed developments across its strategic initiatives and production timelines.

Reports highlighted Ford’s delayed delivery of its F-150 Lightning Pro to commercial fleets, pushing back initial shipments to late 2025. The delay, attributed to battery supply chain constraints, raised concerns over the automaker’s ability to meet electrification targets. Analysts noted the setback could pressure margins as Ford navigates higher production costs for battery technology.

Contrasting this, a partnership with Rivian Automotive to co-develop next-generation electric pickup platforms was cited as a potential long-term catalyst.

Investors remained cautious, given Ford’s recent struggles to scale profitable EV output amid fierce competition from Tesla and legacy rivals.
