AI summary

Ford (F) closes at $13.21, down 2.9% on the day, with the price sitting between its 50-day average of $14.10 and 200-day average of $13.53. The GekkoIndex reads 65.8, placing the stock in the Accumulation zone, while Gekko Fair Value stands at $14.91, leaving a gap of -11.4%. Over the past month the stock is down 8.9%, though it remains up 13.3% over the past year, with a 52-week range of $11.11 to $17.78.

This week's coverage centers on macro pressure and a broader automaker rotation unwinding, with Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis all pulling back after a Thursday rally faded; Ford fell 2%, while GM and Stellantis each dropped 4%. Record diesel prices and Treasury yields at their highest since 2007 are cited as squeezing demand for trucks and SUVs. Separately, coverage notes Ford's dividend yield, distinguishing the base quarterly payout of $0.15 from supplemental distributions, and references the company's six-year Truck of the Year streak ending amid a shift toward hybrids and gasoline powertrains. A consensus "Hold" rating from 19 brokerages carries an average price target of $15.68.

Looking ahead, Ford's next earnings report lands 22 October, after the close, 32 days out. Last quarter's EPS beat estimate at $0.42 versus $0.33, with a 4.1% reaction, and the company has beaten estimates in 8 of the last 8 quarters. Over the last 90 days, insider buying totaled $148,880 with one Congressional purchase and no sales. Seasonality over the next 20 trading days has averaged -0.1% across 5 years, rising in 3 of them.

Last earnings call, Jul 28, 2026 AI summary

What they said
Ford reported second quarter results with revenue of $48.3 billion (down 4% y/y) and adjusted EBIT of $2.5 billion (up 17% y/y). Management raised and narrowed full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10–$11 billion (a $1 billion raise at the midpoint). Company adjusted free cash flow for the quarter was $2.1 billion; cash was $22.3 billion and total liquidity $43.4 billion. Ford announced a regular Q3 dividend of $0.15 per share. Management discussed the Novelis aluminum supply disruption: year-to-date Novelis-related temporary costs of about $800 million with an expected full-year impact of roughly $1.5 billion; hot mill restart is on track. The company highlighted strategic progress under its Ford+ plan: stronger retail/commercial profitability, growth of software and integrated services (paid subscriptions up 20% in Q2; 1.6 million paid subscriptions total; Ford Pro 900k paid subscriptions), and adjacencies such as Ford Energy (battery energy storage systems) and potential defense work. Energy storage efforts include building prototype cells in Marshall and Kentucky 1 (2028 capacity ~20 GWh) and management said they are in early innings of contracting. Mix improvement (higher-trim models: Bronco family, Raptor, Tremor, V8s) and pricing contributed to margin strength. Quality metrics improved (J.D. Power initial quality #1; recalls down ~40%), supporting lower warranty costs and the $1 billion year-over-year EBIT improvement target. Management discussed tariffs/USMCA engagement, commodity headwinds, ongoing investments (UEP, Ford Energy, Oakville launch), and one-time charges related to the BlueOval SK battery JV disposition ($3.6 billion special item; ~$500 million cash in Q, remaining cash charges up to $2 billion expected by year-end).
Guidance
Raised full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10 billion–$11 billion (up $1 billion at midpoint). Expected full-year Novelis-related net cost impact of about $1.5 billion (YTD ~$800 million). Announced Q3 regular dividend of $0.15 per share. No specific revenue or EPS targets for 2027; management said it is too early to provide detailed 2027 guidance but discussed puts and takes (non-repeat of Novelis costs, tariff-related non-repeat of $1.3B AIIA benefit, commodity variability, launch/investment costs).
Risks flagged
Novelis aluminum supply disruption and associated temporary costs (~$1.5B expected full-year impact); commodity-price volatility (materials headwinds ~$2B expected for year with ~$1.5B in H2); tariff and trade policy uncertainty (including potential USMCA changes and exposure to imports); one-time special charges related to battery JV disposition (~$3.6B special item, ~$500M cash in quarter, up to $2B remaining cash charges); launch and investment costs for new platforms and Ford Energy; macro demand uncertainty impacting volume recovery.
