Is Ford Motor Company Stock a Buy Now?
The stock offers a massive 6.3% dividend, but multiple issues have weighed on the share price.
Shares of Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) are trading near their 52-week low. The domestic automaker recently wrapped up its 2024 fiscal year, with heavy losses in its electric vehicle business wiping out much of the profits from its combustion model sales. Additionally, heightened volatility due to ongoing trade conflicts with Mexico and Canada threatens tariffs on goods and materials imported into the United States.
Today, the stock offers investors a massive 6.3% dividend yield and trades at only a fraction of the valuation of the S&P 500 index. Sometimes, stocks become cheap when a company deals with increased uncertainty. Ford could be an example of that now. On the other hand, Ford's stock could be inexpensive for good reasons. Flawed companies can lure investors in with a cheap price, only to wind up performing poorly.
So, which is it? Is Ford a buy now?
