Ford Stock (NYSE:F) Rises With May Sales Numbers
When legacy automaker Ford (F) first revealed plans to supply all its customers with employee pricing, it was a bold move. A lot of people wondered how it would turn out. And the numbers for May suggest that it went pretty well indeed. Investors were certainly pleased with how it all boiled down, because they sent Ford shares up over 2% in Tuesday afternoon's trading. Confident Investing Starts Here: Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter May 2025 brought with it a whopping 16.3% increase in sales against May 2024's numbers. These numbers were led by a 17.2% surge in sales of internal combustion vehicle models. Since these cars are usually the leaders in sales anyway, their surge allowed for a massive gain overall. This was vital, as Ford also posted a 25% drop in the sales of all its electric vehicles. Round things out with a 29% jump in hybrid car sales, and the picture was complete. Admittedly, some of those sales are likely customers front-loading, moving up purchases originally planned for later in the year to take advantage of the employee pricing. And with price hikes likely to come in the second half of the year, future sales may not be so productive. A Captivating Range Those hybrid vehicles are starting to catch a lot of notice, as one report noted that the range on the hybrid F-150 is proving more impressive than imagined. That report found that, despite driving in and around Seattle—which is pretty much a guarantee of stop-and-go urban driving—the vehicle still managed to get around 700 miles on a single tank of gasoline. It certainly helps that the F-150 in question got around 23 miles per gallon, which is respectable for a large-size truck. Throw in the fact the F-150 also has a wallet-busting 30.6 gallon tank—a fill-up for that one would run over $90 in many places—and the longevity of this vehicle becomes almost impossible. Plus, the tester in question reported that the battery life in the vehicle was more than sufficient to keep devices charged while traveling, especially with BlueCruise active. Is Ford Stock a Good Buy Right Now? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Hold consensus rating on F stock based on two Buys, 12 Holds and three Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 17.04% loss in its share price over the past year, the average F price target of $9.71 per share implies 4.62% downside risk. See more F analyst ratings Disclosure
