MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Ford Motor
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Ford Motor:

  • Ford Motor offers a high dividend yield of 5.03%, which is significantly higher than many peers in the automotive sector, providing a substantial income stream for investors who prioritize cash flow over capital appreciation.
  • The company recently reported strong Q2 2026 earnings, beating consensus estimates with an EPS of $0.66 compared to the expected $0.18, and achieving revenue of $43.25 billion, which demonstrates the company's ability to generate profits and outperform market expectations.
  • Ford Motor is trading at a current stock price of $11.59, which is well below its 52-week high of $17.78, suggesting that the stock may be undervalued relative to its historical performance and offering a potential entry point for value-oriented investors.
  • Institutional investors such as Robeco Institutional Asset Management B.V. and Assenagon Asset Management S.A. have recently increased their positions in Ford Motor, with Assenagon lifting its stake by over 5,000% in the third quarter, indicating growing confidence among large financial institutions in the company's future prospects.
  • The company has a low price-to-earnings ratio of 7.19, which is attractive to value investors looking for stocks that are trading at a discount to their earnings potential, especially when compared to higher-growth tech stocks.

Ford Motor
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Ford Motor for these reasons:

  • Ford Motor has a high beta of 1.93, meaning its stock price is nearly twice as volatile as the overall market, which can lead to significant price swings and higher risk for investors who prefer stability.
  • The company's Q3 2026 earnings are expected to be released on October 28, 2026, and recent news indicates that Ford is facing challenges in Europe, with sales being impacted by Chinese competition, which could negatively affect the upcoming earnings report and stock price.
  • Ford Motor has a high debt-to-equity ratio of 3.07, indicating that the company relies heavily on debt to finance its operations, which can be a risk factor during periods of rising interest rates or economic downturns.
  • The stock has a negative net margin of 3.93% in the most recent quarter, suggesting that the company is not generating enough profit from its revenue to cover its costs, which could limit its ability to invest in growth initiatives or return capital to shareholders.
  • Ford Motor has a high short interest of 132.8 million shares, with a days-to-cover ratio of 2.61, indicating that a significant portion of the stock is being sold by short sellers, which can put downward pressure on the stock price and increase volatility.
