Ford Stock Hits 7-Month High Following Strong Q2 Sales Results

Ford stock has faced its fair share of ups and downs as of late, and for a lot of good reasons. Like its peers, Ford is facing all sorts of uncertainties as it pertains to the near future at the moment, including tariffs, trade deals, emissions and fuel economy standards, and demand for electric vehicles, to name just a few. Coupled with soaring warranty costs, and The Blue Oval has plenty of challenges lying on the road ahead, which is why some investment firms have opted to downgrade their outlook on Ford stock, though others have gone the opposite direction. For those that have hung in there, Ford stock certainly paid off in a big way this week and beyond, however.

Ford stock hit a seven month high this week after the automaker reported strong sales results in Q2 2025 – a 14.2 percent year-over-year increase, resulting in a 5.8 percent boost in Ford stock over the past week, but there’s far more to the story than that. Though it’s down 12 percent over the past year, Ford stock has also risen by 85 percent over the last five, which is a slightly better performance than the overall market, surprisingly enough.

Looking at total shareholder return (TSR) reveals even more good news for investors that have bet big on Ford stock as of late, too. That calculation takes into account the value of cash dividends and any discounted capital raisings and spin-offs, which helps highlight companies that pay more generous dividends. In that regard, Ford’s TSR over the past five years is a whopping 138 percent.

Of course, there are reasons to be pessimistic looking forward, as it pertains to Ford’s stock and shares from automakers, in general. With tariffs set to have an impact on pricing in the coming weeks, that could certainly cause a slowdown in terms of new vehicle sales – particularly as The Blue Oval’s extremely popular employee pricing for everyone incentive is set to end this week, too.
