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 stock price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 15x. In other words, Ford's stocks trade at around 15x 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 November 09, 2023 (20.44). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Ford's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.733. A PEG ratio below 1 can be interpreted as meaning the shares are not overvalued 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 stock prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Ford's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $11.1 billion ($15.3 billion CAD).
The EBITDA is a measure of Ford's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
Forward annual dividend yield: 4.12% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 41.05% of net profits
Ford has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.12% of its share value annually.
Ford has paid out, on average, around 41.05% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.12% 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 4.12% 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 June 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 May 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Currently 0.27% of Ford shares are held by insiders and 57.645% by institutions.
Ford's fiscal year ends in December.
Ford's address is: One American Road, Dearborn, MI, United States, 48126
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.
