Ford share values are nine percent higher when compared to the first day of trading in 2025. Wall Street continues to grapple with how it should evaluate legacy automakers in the wake of the ongoing EV transition. Additionally, the tariffs enacted the Trump administration have also upended any expectations about Ford stock in 2025. That said, Ford has frequently shifted its EV product plans and goals, likely adding to skepticism from investors. It has now settled on an “everything for everyone” approach to its lineup that gives buyers a choice between gas, hybrid, and all-electric vehicles.

And Billy Boy says he’ll be on board until the day he dies. I’d be running for the islands. And Wall Street should NOT be calling that news a positive, at this rate, either.
