Ford earned $2.63 billion EBIT with its Ford Credit segment in 2018, up from $2.31 billion in 2017. 2018 was the segment’s highest full year EBT in eight years. However, this upward trend may not last much longer as car sales continue to decline. Ford Credit’s ROE, which fell from 22% in 2017 to 14% in 2018, forecasts the segment’s coming decline.
