  • Ford confirmed mid-size electric truck launch from early 2027 at $28,350.

Technical Analysis MACD shows a fresh bullish crossover: DIF (-0.028) has crossed above DEA (-0.025), with histogram narrowing to -0.006, signaling momentum shift.

Valuation Perspective P/E TTM is negative (-7.75) due to recent losses, but P/S TTM is just 0.31 — historically low for a legacy automaker. Forward P/E of 7.59 is below its 5-year average of 7.78. Dividend yield stands at 4.14%, adding income appeal.

Analyst Targets 20 analysts cover Ford: 4 Strong Buy, 3 Buy, 15 Hold, 2 Underperform. Average target: $15.74 (range $11–$20). Jefferies’ upgrade to $17.50 is the most bullish recent revision.

Weekly Outlook Expect a $13.90–$15.20 trading range. A decisive close above $14.71 opens path to $15.40–$15.80. Failure to hold $13.90 could trigger retest of $12.96 support. Watch for MACD histogram expansion to confirm trend.
