Ford of recent has been behind or delayed with new models, down on new ideas, with a rather inflated ego since Hackett took over.
It's appalling that both GM and FCA have far higher stock prices, while Ford is below $10. And we Ford guys are beating our drums about not taking a bailout.... yep, means nothing at this point. I was a vocal critic of GM and FCA over it and they are in a stronger position than Ford 10 years later? Shameful.
Nearly everything Alan Mullaly did to stabilize Ford and set them up for long term success has been squandered. Wall Street sees this, it's evident in their product lineup, and future product is either VERY late to the party or not even announced.
At this point I don't give a **** about the GT500 compared to the health of FoMoCo as a company.
Ford has a TON of shares outstanding so it makes the share price lower. Valuation wise, Ford is worth 37billion. Fiat/Chrysler 21 Billion. and GM is 53 billion.
The Price to Earnings ratio for Ford is healthy. I think on the message board we equate performance cars with company health and that isn't really a good indicator (just ask Toyota or Honda). Ford isn't doing bad, but internally they are having issues it seems, making improvements should be doable.
