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.

As the market goes up, the company is expected to outperform it. However, if the market returns are negative, Ford will likely underperform. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Ford moves in the same direction as the rest of the market, and how volatile (i.e., risky) it is compared to the market (i.e., selected benchmark). In other words, if Ford deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns.
