F Stock Forecast & Price Target

Ford Motor Co. demonstrates a solid market position with approximately 13% market share in the United States, which accounts for about 68% of its total revenue for 2024. The company's strategic separation of its combustion engine and battery electric vehicle divisions into Ford Blue and Ford Model e is expected to enhance operational focus and adaptability in a changing automotive landscape. Additionally, a perceived decrease in the likelihood of a "tariff winter" has led to an increased forecast for U.S. new vehicle sales, contributing to a positive outlook on the company's market share prospects.

Ford Motor Co. reported a record revenue of $50.2 billion in 2Q; however, the company experienced a net loss, primarily attributed to high costs from a fuel injector recall, the cancellation of an electric vehicle program, and an $800 million tariff impact. Despite maintaining significant market share in various regions, the company faces substantial risks including labor disputes, supply chain challenges, volatile raw material prices, and increased competition, particularly in China and Europe. Additionally, the ongoing transition towards electric vehicles may lead to margin degradation, compounded by high-interest rates and trade-related issues.
