About these figures. Ford's filings tag debt separately for Ford Credit and the rest of the company, with no company-wide total in the SEC's structured data, so debt-based ratios are left blank.

Try a discounted cash flow model
A discounted cash flow (DCF) model values a business as the cash it may generate in future, discounted back to today. The starting figures below come from Ford's 10-K. The four assumptions start at the same example values on every company page, so they are not The Filing Desk's view of Ford. Change them to see what different assumptions imply.
Value per share on these assumptions
—
—
- Cash flows in years 1 to 10, valued today
- —
- Everything after year 10, valued today
- —
- Plus net cash
- —
- Share of value from after year 10
Projected free cash flow
US$ billions. Each column is one year's projected free cash flow, split into what it is worth today and the part removed by discounting.

How the value changes with two assumptions
Value per share in US$, with the growth rates above. The highlighted cell matches the current assumptions.
How the model works. Free cash flow grows at the first rate for five years and the second rate for five more, and each year is discounted at the discount rate. Everything after year 10 is valued as year-10 cash flow × (1 + growth after year 10) ÷ (discount rate − growth after year 10), discounted back ten years. Net cash is added and the total is divided by diluted shares. The result depends entirely on the assumptions. It is not a forecast, a price target or a recommendation, and this site does not show share prices.

Piotroski F-score
The F-score counts how many of nine simple tests of profitability, funding and efficiency a company passed in a year (Piotroski, 2000). Companies that report no gross profit are scored on the other eight.
| Test | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net income is positive | Pass | Pass | Fail |
| Cash from operations is positive | Pass | Pass | Pass |
| Return on assets rose | Pass | Pass | Fail |
| Cash from operations exceeds net income | Pass | Pass | Pass |

| Accruals ratio | −4.0% | −3.4% | −10.2% |
The accruals ratio is net income minus cash from operations, over average total assets.
