Ford shareholders gained some good news in a quarterly report, followed by bad news from Wall Street Monday, but the overall status of the company seems to be favorable. The company reported first quarter earnings per share of 50 cents, on $2.1 billion in profit. The company website reported $28.1 billion in overall revenues for the first quarter. "Our plan is working, and the basic engine that drives our business results-products, market share, revenue and cost structure-is performing stronger each quarter, even as the economy and vehicle demand remain relatively soft," said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally in press release. Wall Street analysts say that the company is doing well and should continue to gain steady profits through 2010. There is a possibility that changes in material prices could affect the course of its production, but not significantly.
