# Ford Motor Company (F) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Consumer Cyclical / Automobiles. Price $14.62, market value $58.3 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): n/a** (negative earnings). Ford Motor Company reported negative earnings over the last twelve months, so the P/E is not meaningful; use price-to-sales, EV/EBITDA and free-cash-flow yield instead.
- **Price / sales: 0.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 0.3×, a low multiple typical of thin-margin businesses or out-of-favour stocks.
- **Price / book: 1.6×**. The shares trade at 1.6× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 5.7×**. Enterprise value is 5.7× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 12.5%** (5-yr avg 14.9%). Free cash flow equals 12.5% of the market value, in line with its five-year average of 14.9%. Above 5% is generally attractive.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: -4.4%**. The company reported a net loss over the last twelve months.
- **Return on equity: -22.7%**. Return on equity is negative because earnings are negative.
- **Return on invested capital: -43.1%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is -43.1%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
