Should you be concerned about Ford (USA Stocks:F) latest valuation?

We determine the current worth of Ford Motor using both absolute as well as relative valuation methodologies to arrive at its intrinsic value. In general, an absolute valuation paradigm, as applied to this company, attempts to find the value of Ford Motor based exclusively on its fundamental and basic technical indicators. By analyzing Ford's financials, quarterly and monthly indicators, and related drivers such as dividends, operating cash flow, and various types of growth rates, we attempt to find the most accurate representation of Ford's intrinsic value. In some cases, mostly for established, large-cap companies, we also incorporate more traditional valuation methods such as dividend discount, discounted cash flow, or asset-based models. As compared to an absolute model, our relative valuation model uses a comparative analysis of Ford. We calculate exposure to Ford's market risk, different technical and fundamental indicators, relevant financial multiples and ratios, and then comparing them to Ford's related companies.

Our take on today Ford surge

Latest Market Risk Adjusted Performance is up to 0.09. Price may dip again. Ford Motor currently demonstrates below-average downside deviation. It has Information Ratio of 0.01 and Jensen Alpha of -0.01. However, we advise investors to further question Ford Motor expected returns to ensure all indicators are consistent with the current outlook about its relatively low value at risk. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Ford's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Ford's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.

Our Final Take On Ford

Although some companies within the auto manufacturers industry are still a little expensive, even after the recent corrections, Ford may offer a potential longer-term growth to shareholders. On the whole, as of the 2nd of February 2023, our ongoing 90 days 'Buy-vs-Sell' recommendation on the firm is Hold. We believe Ford is undervalued with close to average odds of distress for the next two years.
