Ford Motor Company has faced a series of challenges, including rising warranty costs and concerns over the impact of tariffs under the current US administration. While some analysts believe the company might rebound due to its potential for value, many express skepticism regarding its financial health and the sustainability of its dividend yield, which is high due to its declining stock price. The stock has seen negative momentum over the past few years, with earnings expectations faltering amidst a competitive automotive landscape that includes significant pressure from both traditional rivals and new entrants in the EV market. Despite being seen as undervalued based on price-to-earnings ratios compared to industry standards, many analysts warn that investing in Ford could be a value trap due to ongoing structural issues and muted growth projections in the auto industry.

No, caller's not crazy to want to buy. There will be a chance to reimagine what the car industry will be. Current US administration will be very partial to US manufacturing. Cross-border tariffs on auto parts won't affect it as much as people feared. Traditional US car companies may be better value than some of the more hyped players.

DON'T BUY

They have warranty problems that make their earnings a black hole. He prefers GM, despite their weak dividend.

DON'T BUY

Owns GM instead. Ford lacks the cash of GM, among other metrics, and lag GM in this sector.

DON'T BUY

Ford and GM have some of the lowest PEs around (7.3x and 4.3x) vs. the 22x S&P average. Ford pays a 6.2% dividend yield, while GM has a huge buyback plan. Incredibly cheap--until the tariffs started. Remember: the car-makers were a huge reason why Trump used tariffs in his first term which lead to the USMCA trade deal. But now Trump wants to take away the qualities that made US cars competitive and affordable. Today, the car-makers got a one-month reprieve from Trump's tariffs and shares jumped. But if the car-makers wind up paying these tariffs, are we okay with the U.S. replacing cheap Mexican labour with expensive U.S. union labour? That's why these stocks are so cheap--their earnings are in grave danger. Value traps. A 25% tariff on Mexican imports is a subsidy for foreign car companies like Kia.

F has seen negative momentum over the past few years, falling from a high of $25 in early 2022 to $9 today. It pays a good yield of 8.4%, but this is mostly high due to its falling stock price. Sales are expected to be mostly flat over the next few years, and earnings are expected to fall in the near term, with some growth thereafter. The auto industry was at one time a rising and popular theme, but we have since likely reached peak auto, and the forward growth is not as attractive as it once was. It is cheap (6X forward earnings), but so far it has proven to be a value trap. We would look for opportunities elsewhere in the industrials segment.

DON'T BUY

It reports Wednesday. It has disappointed due to warranty costs. With long-term interest costs high and likely rising, their sales could be stalling. The stock has been awful.

DON'T BUY

Problem is that Ford has big warranty issues--it costs so much to fix a car. Is -9% this year so far. The auto stocks need a rate cut. 

DON'T BUY
Considering Trump tariffs possibly on Ford's auto parts

We should be concerned about possible tariffs. Though trading at a cheap 10x, he wouldn't buy.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 26/24, Up 4%)

(Note the short timeframe.) 
Bought closer to $10 in his aggressive strategy. Likely to sell very soon, as it's nearing the top of its range. Don't be a new buyer right now.

DON'T BUY

He did not like some metrics in their last report: the warranty number, and how much they're losing in EVs. He likes the CEO and wishes he will do well, but can't recommend Ford.

DON'T BUY

He avoids car companies, because it's a tough business. Their report last night proves it--they've having a tough time. He prefers car parts makers.

DON'T BUY

He gave up on it. They aren't buying back stock. If the company was as cheap as he thought it was, they would be buying back a lot of shares now. He chose the wrong horse, should've bought GM instead.

BUY

Would recommend waiting before investing. Could be upcoming catalyst for growth in share price. Chart would suggest buying around $9. 

TOP PICK

This is not a conservative long term play and is in their aggressive platform. It has been in a pretty clear pattern. If it pulls back to $10  then buy and sell at the one of the higher points in the pattern. You could buy this in legs.       Buy 10  Hold 15  Sell 3

(Analysts’ price target is $13.39)
DON'T BUY

Along with others, seeing muted sales in the EV space. Guided down for the year. Very cheap, ~6-7x earnings, will stay muted. Very little exuberance. Pure plays in the space have the advantage.
