- Ford Motor Co said on Wednesday its fourth quarter results will be hit by a pre-tax loss of about $2.2 billion due to higher contributions to its employees pension plans. The charge is largely related to a drop in discount rates, the company said, as that leads to an increase in the amount of money to be contributed for future pension benefits.it will record a $2 billion loss related to pension plans outside the United States and a $600 million loss associated with other post-retirement employee benefits plans globally.

However, the overall loss was offset by a $400 million gain associated with pension plans in the United States. On an after-tax basis, the loss is expected to reduce Ford’s net income by about $1.7 billion in the fourth quarter. The loss will not impact the adjusted earnings per share as it is a special item, the company said.

Sounds like a lay-off coming.

With record profits on Wall Street, small bonuses will annoy bankers: expertsMost Wall Street banks announced their fourth quarter profits beat industry expe... So now we have reduced the bonuses away from normal citizens who are successful for their company and given it to either the government or a giant corporation.... Yeah real progress.... Trump's 'free for all' mentality and relaxation of government oversight of the financial sector and environmental laws is abhorrent and abuse of power and breeding corruption on Wall Street. Why Americans hate you. Well if they haven't agreed to commissions on the profits they make they are very poor traders indeed or trainees. The cream of the crop will move to get a better deal in another bank.
