FUNDAMENTAL RATING
FUNDAMENTAL SCORE
29 / 100
Summary
Ford Motor Company has an Altman Z-score of 0.80, which sits in the distress zone as defined by the model (distress threshold 1.81, safe threshold 2.99), signaling near-term solvency risk. The latest annual net income comparison is NM (swung to loss), and the most recent annual net result was a $-8.16B loss, so year-over-year net income growth is not usable. Revenue has compounded at 5.82% a year (CAGR, or compound annual growth rate) over three years, but the latest annual revenue rose only 1.2%, a deceleration from the multiyear trend. Assets cover liabilities 1.14 times, which is a thin balance-sheet buffer. The Piotroski F-Score of 2 on a 0 to 9 quality scale is a weak earnings-quality signal. With a short reporting history, the next report must show sustained quarterly profitability or a meaningful improvement in solvency metrics to alter this reading.

Data Source
This dashboard applies a modified 9-signal Piotroski F-Score (Piotroski, 2000) and Altman Z-Score models. Fundamental filing data is sourced from the SEC's EDGAR XBRL database (primary), with API Ninjas as backup for freshly-filed 10-Ks not yet in SEC. Live price, market cap, and EPS display use Tiingo end-of-day data. This page is informational analysis, not investment advice. See Financial Disclaimer.

Formula & Methodology
Trend inputAnnual revenue and net income year-over-year direction contributes 20% of the score.
Piotroski inputModified 9-test Piotroski F-Score (Quality) contributes 40% of the score.
Altman inputAltman Z-Score (Distress) contributes 40% of the score.
Rating ruleFormula: Trend (20%) + Piotroski F-Score (40%) + Altman Z-Score (40%). Trend blends annual revenue and net income year-over-year direction. Piotroski is the modified 9-test variant (7 classic + 2 cash-flow tests). Altman uses the 1968 Z-Score with Safe/Grey/Distress zones. Combined blend uses ±0.45 thresholds: Bullish at +0.45 or higher, Bearish at -0.45 or lower, Neutral in between. Missing sub-signals count as Neutral (0) and weights are not re-normalized — a company with fewer available signals must earn its rating from stronger reads on the remaining pillars.
