Ford's dividend yield stands at an impressive 7.9%, yet its financial health is under scrutiny as earnings decline and vehicle prices are expected to rise. Wall Street's sentiment has soured, highlighted by Goldman Sachs downgrading Ford's stock rating to Neutral. Despite a revenue drop and significant losses in its electric vehicle segment, Ford's Chief Financial Officer remains optimistic about the company's transformation under the Ford+ plan. Market share challenges in China introduce additional uncertainties, leading analysts to express cautious outlooks on Ford's future performance.
Our results in the first quarter show that the Ford+ [turnaround] plan is working. We are transforming this company into a higher growth, margin, capital efficiency, and durable business.
Goldman Sachs recently lowered its rating on the stock: We downgrade Ford to Neutral from Buy to better reflect a more difficult cyclical dynamic including competition internationally, weaker consumer demand, and what we expect will be higher costs from tariffs.
