Ford’s automotive revenue has grown at a slow compound annual rate of 2.8% over the past decade. Despite a cheap valuation and high dividend yield, Ford stock has underperformed the market. The company’s history dates back to 1903, but its profitability and growth prospects remain limited in the competitive auto industry.

In Q3 of 2015, Ford reported $35.8 billion in automotive revenue, which increased to $47.2 billion in Q3 of 2025. However, the slow growth rate of 2.8% indicates challenges in achieving significant top-line gains. With a mature market and cyclical demand, Ford’s ability to boost profits and market performance is limited.

Ford faces obstacles in increasing profitability, such as lack of pricing power and high production costs. Despite a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9.7 and a dividend yield of 4.17%, Ford’s stock may not be a lucrative long-term investment. The company’s historical performance suggests continued market underperformance and limited growth potential.
