Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Ford Motor Company is a leader in the global automotive industry, operating through three main automotive production segments: Ford Blue for traditional and hybrid vehicles, Ford Pro for commercial and government customers, and Ford Model e for electric vehicle development, in addition to the Ford Credit financial services segment. The company generates its revenue primarily from the sale of iconic trucks like the F-150, SUVs, and commercial vehicles, alongside accelerated growth in software services and digital subscriptions, which generated total revenues of more than $15 billion last year, with a target growth rate of 8% annually until the end of the current decade.
During the first quarter of 2026, the company achieved strong financial results, with total revenue reaching $43.3 billion, net income of $2.6 billion, and earnings per share of $0.63, while gross profit reached $7.9 billion. In terms of segment operational performance, the Ford Blue segment generated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $1.9 billion, and the Ford Pro segment recorded operating profits of $1.7 billion, while the Model e electric vehicle segment recorded an operating loss of $777 million, and the Ford Credit segment achieved pre-tax profits of $783 million. These results included a one-time positive impact of $1.3 billion related to the settlement of IEEPA customs tariffs.
Analyst consensus on Ford Motor Company's stock stands at a Neutral stance, with an average price target of $14.76. The analyst target range spans from a low of $12.8 to a high of $17, indicating that the stock's current valuation reflects a balance between near-term operational challenges related to commodity costs and promising opportunities in the software and hybrid vehicle segments.

The company expects to achieve adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of $8.5 billion to $10.5 billion for 2026. It also targets adjusted free cash flow of $5 billion to $6 billion, with a capital expenditure commitment of $9.5 billion to $10.5 billion. These expenditures include a strategic investment of $1.5 billion allocated to the Ford Energy segment to develop energy storage and battery businesses.
The Novelis plant shutdown caused temporary additional costs of $1.5 billion to $2 billion to secure alternative aluminum sources, $300 million of which was recorded in the first quarter of 2026. With the plant resuming operations, Ford expects a net year-over-year EBIT improvement of $1 billion, concentrated primarily in the second half of the year. Management emphasizes that production plans and demand for F-Series trucks remain strong and will not be negatively affected in the long term.
Ford has already begun testing a low-cost electric truck to compete with Chinese manufacturers, relying on the global UEV electric vehicle platform scheduled for commercial launch in 2027 from the Louisville plant in Kentucky. This internally designed platform aims to offer highly efficient and highly affordable electric vehicles suitable for a broad segment of consumers. The company also plans to provide advanced hybrid options for 90% of its global models by the end of the current decade to meet diverse customer preferences.

The company recorded negative free cash flow of $1.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, which is historically typical for the company due to seasonal changes in working capital, supplier payments, and annual bonuses. Cash flows were also negatively impacted by temporary disruptions in aluminum supply from Novelis and increased capital spending on future projects such as the UEV platform and Ford Energy. However, management reiterates maintaining the full-year free cash flow target of between $5 billion and $6 billion, expecting these temporary factors to reverse in the coming quarters.
Ford's software and physical services segment generated revenues exceeding $15 billion in 2025, and the company targets growing these revenues by approximately 8% annually until the end of the current decade. In the first quarter of 2026, the number of paid software subscriptions in the Ford Pro segment rose by 30% to reach 879,000 subscriptions. These services feature very high profit margins and provide recurring, stable revenue streams that act as a buffer against the cyclical fluctuations of traditional automotive markets.
