#fordraises2026outlook Two months after Ford became the latest old-economy manufacturer to be swept up in the artificial-intelligence rally, investors are looking for proof the enthusiasm was justified.
Shares of the Michigan-based carmaker surged 44% in May as investors bet its battery-storage business would benefit from soaring power demand for AI data centres.
