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 11x. In other words, Ford's shares trade at around 11x 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): 10.36
General Motors Company (GM.US): 14.03
Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 8.93

Ford's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 15.1174. 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): 1.69
Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 1.54

Ford's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $9.7 billion (£7.3 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$1,397.7 billion
General Motors Company (GM.US): USD$15.7 billion
Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): USD$6,172.9 billion

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 4.66% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 4.66% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 55.56% of net profits

Ford has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.66% of its share value annually.

Ford has paid out, on average, around 55.56% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.66% 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 4.66% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ford's case, that would currently equate to about 0.6 per share.

Ford's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

Ford's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 6 November 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): 4.6% (4.6% forward annual dividend yield)
- General Motors Company (GM.US): 0.74% (0.82% forward annual dividend yield)
- Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 2.84% (2.84% forward annual dividend yield)
Ford's shares were split on a 1748175:1000000 basis on 2 August 2000. So if you had owned 1000000 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 42.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ford shares which in turn could have impacted Ford's share price.
