Ford's Recent Performance: Ford Motor Company has seen a 17% increase in share price this year, outperforming the S&P 500, but its long-term total return over the past decade is only 35%, compared to 300% for the S&P 500.
Investment Considerations: Despite Ford's current momentum and low price-to-earnings ratio, it is viewed as a low-growth, capital-intensive business with cyclical demand, making it less favorable for long-term investors seeking significant returns.

The firm adjusted ratings in the autos and shared mobility group as part of its 2026 outlook following a change in analysts. Morgan Stanley is "leaning more cautious" into next year, saying the electric vehicle "winter" will sustain through 2026. This is counterbalanced by a "moderately more positive" outlook on internal combustion engines and hybrids, the analyst tells investors.
