Valuing Ford Motor Company stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Ford Motor Company's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Ford Motor Company's current share 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 Motor Company shares trade at around 15x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). 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 Motor Company's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 0.733. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Ford Motor Company's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Ford Motor Company's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $11.1 billion.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Ford Motor Company's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 41.05% of net profits
Recently Ford Motor Company has paid out, on average, around 41.05% of 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), Ford Motor Company shareholders could enjoy a 4.12% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ford Motor Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.
While Ford Motor Company's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Ford Motor Company may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Ford Motor Company'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").
Ford Motor Company'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 Motor Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 100% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ford Motor Company shares which in turn could have impacted Ford Motor Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Ford Motor Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $9.1716 up to $14.85. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Ford Motor Company's is 1.634. This would suggest that Ford Motor Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
