Goldman Sachs Cuts Ford (F) Price Target, UBS Upgrades Stock on Long-Term EPS Outlook

On April 14, Goldman Sachs analyst Mark Delaney lowered the firm’s price recommendation on Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) to $13 from $15. It reiterated a Neutral rating on the shares. He pointed out that auto OEMs and suppliers are likely to post results that are mostly in line, though softer this quarter. Rising input costs and weak Q1 auto sales in China are weighing on the group, he told investors in a research note. At the same time, he drew a contrast with industrial tech companies. Those businesses are expected to report solid performance and guidance, supported by improving industrial trends and strong data center demand, the firm said.

On April 14, UBS analyst Joseph Spak upgraded Ford (F) to Buy from Neutral, while leaving the price target unchanged at $15.He said the firm sees a “credible path” to Ford earning over $2 in earnings per share in 2027, or 17% above consensus. Looking beyond that, he expects Ford to move toward $3 in earnings-per-share power. That view is tied to its product portfolio, a “more lenient” US regulatory backdrop, and a “more pragmatic” electric vehicle strategy, as he told investors in a research note. UBS also believes concerns around higher gasoline prices and rising aluminum costs are overdone in Ford shares.
