Ford stock (F) fell to its 52-week low on Feb. 11 and is down more than 7% for the year. It had fallen 18% last year even as Detroit rival General Motors (GM) gained 48%. Ford shares have lost almost half of their value over the last three years, and even the generous dividends can’t cover up the capital erosion.
2025 was never expected to be an easy year for the U.S. automotive industry given the pricing pressure. However, President Donald Trump’s tariffs – levied as well as threatened – have led to “a lot of cost, and a lot of chaos” for the U.S. automotive industry according to Ford CEO Jim Farley.
