How is F's price target calculated?

Price targets here use projected EPS × exit P/E. Future EPS = TTM EPS × (1 + growth)^years, then price = future EPS × P/E. The tool pre-fills analyst consensus and historical ranges for Ford Motor (F) so you can compare your assumptions to the data.

What is F's base-case price target?

With about 50% annual EPS growth and a 8× exit P/E over 5 years based on consensus from 12 analysts, the base case for Ford Motor (F) lands near $-96.76, implying roughly 0.0% CAGR. This is illustrative, not a forecast.

What P/E ratio should I use for F?

Defaults use the 5-year median P/E (about 8.2×) for the base case, the 25th percentile for bear and the 75th for bull. Adjust the Exit P/E sliders if you have a different valuation view.

What is F's expected return in this model?

Expected return depends on your assumptions. The calculator reports CAGR = (Future price / Current price)^(1/Years) − 1. This is illustrative only and not investment advice.

Is F's P/E high or low historically?

F currently trades at about 6.7× earnings, 18.6% below its 5-year median of 8.2×. The historical multiples card shows the full 5- and 10-year range.

How fast has F's EPS grown over the past 5 years?

Ford Motor (F) grew diluted EPS at about 170.9% per year over the trailing 5 fiscal years. Historical growth is one input; the bull and bear cases let you pressure-test what happens if the next 5 years differ.

What time horizon does the price target use?

The default horizon is 5 years; you can change it from 1 to 10 years. Longer horizons compound EPS growth and re-rating effects more strongly, so total returns become more sensitive to assumptions.

Is this a recommendation to buy or sell F?

No. The price-target calculator is an educational tool that turns explicit growth and P/E assumptions into a model price. Peers in the Consumer Cyclical sector are listed below for context. It is not investment advice and does not predict future returns.

Scenario calculator

Enter EPS growth and exit P/E per scenario. The chart starts at the current share price (Now) and transitions the P/E from today's trailing multiple toward your Exit P/E over the horizon. Same live price and TTM EPS as the rest of the page.

Price target (simple) needs positive TTM EPS. Try Advanced (revenue) mode when earnings are negative.

Annual diluted EPS

GAAP diluted EPS by fiscal year — use as context for growth assumptions above, not a forecast. Across 14 fiscal years, diluted EPS went from about $1.41 in 2012 to about $-2.06 in 2025.

Scale: -2.06 to 4.45 EPS; horizontal line at 0. Fiscal years with no row in the database are omitted.

Diluted EPS year-over-year change

Percent change vs the previous fiscal year. If a fiscal year is missing, the comparison is to the prior available year. Year-over-year EPS change in this window ranged from a high of +493.5% to a low of -3300.0%.

About the F price target calculator

The F price target calculator projects a future share price by compounding trailing twelve-month earnings per share at an assumed growth rate and applying an exit P/E multiple at the end of the horizon. The stock currently trades at about $13.61.

F has no usable next-year analyst EPS consensus in our dataset, so the calculator defaults to historical EPS growth for its scenarios. Trailing 5-year EPS history shows 170.9% growth per year — the model uses that as the base case.
