All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Ford), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Ford is a major part of the NYSE, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Ford under- or over-valued?

Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Ford P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.

Ford's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Ford's shares trade at around 7x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United States stock markets on average as of March 2025 (25.37). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

However, Ford's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.

Honda Motor Co Ltd ADR (HMC.US): 6.36
General Motors Company (GM.US): 7.36
Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 6.61

Ford's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.549. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Ford's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

However, it's sensible to consider Ford's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.

Honda Motor Co Ltd ADR (HMC.US): 3.62
General Motors Company (GM.US): 1.21
Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 1.54

Ford's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $11.1 billion (£8.3 billion).

The EBITDA is a measure of Ford's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.

Honda Motor Co Ltd ADR (HMC.US): USD$2,706.9 billion
General Motors Company (GM.US): USD$18.7 billion
Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): USD$6,615.2 billion

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 7.47% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 7.47% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 40.76% of net profits

Ford has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 7.47% of its share value annually.

Ford has paid out, on average, around 40.76% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.47% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 7.47% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ford's case, that would currently equate to about 0.6 per share.

While Ford's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

Ford's most recent dividend payout was on 2 March 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 17 February 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Ford's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Honda Motor Co Ltd ADR (HMC.US): 4.88% (4.88% forward annual dividend yield)
- General Motors Company (GM.US): 1.05% (1.05% forward annual dividend yield)
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 2.95% (2.95% forward annual dividend yield)
Ford's shares were split on a 1748175:10 basis on 2 August 2000. So if you had owned 10 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1748175 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ford shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ford shares which in turn could have impacted Ford's share price.
