The potential for disappointing shareholders returns, supported by weak growth prospects and subpar profitability metrics, means that Ford stock isn't a smart investment to make right now.
To be fair, it wouldn't be prudent to expect Ford to reach $100 anytime soon, and even Toyota Motors (TM) - which is the most valuable legacy automaker - has a market cap below $300 billion. Another analogy, however, could be the comparison with Tesla (TSLA), which currently has a market cap of around $700 billion.
Ford Motor Company is a publicly-traded company. Anyone can buy shares of Ford directly through their brokerage account. The vehicle manufacturer trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker "F."
