On the filings behind it, Ford Motor Co. earns 3.0 out of 10 for business quality as of October 17, 2026. That is low quality on our scale. A low reading means the reported numbers show weakness on several pillars at once, which is a reason to understand the business before anything else. The figure is a weighted average of five pillars, each scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks from reported statements.
Among the 179 Consumer Discretionary companies with a published score, that ranks at the 8th percentile, in the bottom quarter of the group. A typical company in the group scores 5.0, and the best quarter starts from 6.1. Ford Motor Co. is well below that typical reading.
Profitability scores 0.9 out of 10, which reads as weak. The median across 176 Consumer Discretionary companies is 5.1, so Ford Motor Co. is well below its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 6th percentile. Weak profitability means the business converts less of its sales and capital into profit than its peers, which can come from thin pricing power, high costs or a temporary squeeze.
Ford Motor Co.’s solvency score is 1.4 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 5.9 among 141 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well below the group and the 2nd percentile. Stretched leverage narrows the options open to management, since cash that services debt is cash that cannot be reinvested.
Growth scores 5.5 out of 10, which reads as average. The median across 149 Consumer Discretionary companies is 4.0, so Ford Motor Co. is well above its peers on this pillar and ranks at the 68th percentile. Average growth reflects a business expanding at roughly the pace of its sector, without a clear acceleration or decline.
Ford Motor Co.’s efficiency score is 2.9 out of 10 (weak). Against a median of 6.2 among 170 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is well below the group and the 9th percentile. Poor conversion of assets and earnings into cash can come from heavy investment phases, and it matters whether that investment is paying off.
Ford Motor Co.’s predictability score is 4.8 out of 10 (average). Against a median of 5.0 among 178 Consumer Discretionary companies, that is in line with the group and the 44th percentile. An average predictability reading means results have wobbled about as much as is normal for the sector.
This is a lopsided profile. Growth scores 5.5 but profitability only 0.9, a gap of 4.6 points, so the overall hides a business that is excellent in one respect and weak in another. A growth lead says the business is expanding faster than it is doing anything else well, which is worth checking against predictability. A profitability shortfall is the one most worth understanding, since it bears directly on whether the business creates value.
Of everything that could lift Ford Motor Co.’s score, profitability matters most. Bringing it up to the 5.1 median of Consumer Discretionary companies would take the overall from 3.0 to roughly 4.0. All five pillars could be scored, so the overall uses the full set of weights out of 100: profitability 25, solvency 20, growth 20, efficiency 15, predictability 20.

Each metric is scored from 0 to 10 against sector-aware benchmarks, where higher is better. Metrics roll up into five pillars, and the pillars combine into the overall score using the weights shown. Sector-sensitive metrics are judged relative to peers in the same sector.
This score is a systematic, backward-looking read of reported fundamentals. It does not judge valuation, management quality, competitive moat, or future prospects, and can be distorted by one-off items or unusual accounting. Treat it as a starting point, not a recommendation.

No. Quality and valuation are separate questions, and a good business at the wrong price is still a bad purchase. Score the business here, then price it with a DCF you control.
