Now Over $10 a Share, Is Ford a Buy?

Updated

With Ford now back above $10 a share, is the company still a buy? Industrials editor and analyst Brendan Byrnes says absolutely. The stock remains very cheap at less than 7 times forward earnings, and the company had a strong August, with sales rising 13%. With the all-new Fusion due out this fall, and Ford's investment in China on track to help drive growth in the future, this remains a long-term winner despite big problems in Europe. See more in the following video.

Overall, Ford has been performing incredibly well as a company over the past few years -- it's making good vehicles, is consistently profitable, recently reinstated its dividend, and has done a remarkable job paying down its debt. But Ford's stock price has underperformed the market by more than 20% over the past year. Does this create an incredible buying opportunity, or are there hidden risks with the stock that investors need to know about?
