We recently published a list of 10 Lowest PE Ratio Stocks in S&P 500. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) stands against other most undervalued stocks.

Big tech stocks just suffered a massive hit, with the Magnificent Seven shedding a combined $1.8 trillion in market value over two brutal trading days at the beginning of April 2025. The iPhone-maker was hit the hardest, dropping more than $533 billion, partly due to new tariffs targeting its overseas production. Elon Musk’s EV giant fell over 10% on April 4, and Wall Street’s semiconductor darling lost nearly $400 billion. Jeff Bezos’ e-commerce powerhouse also saw its worst losing streak since 2008. The selloff came after Donald Trump’s newly announced tariffs sparked fears of a global trade war and potential recession. It did not just impact the mega-caps; the pain spread across the tech sector, which saw steep declines in stock prices. Even semiconductor stocks, although not yet directly impacted by tariffs, are being dragged down by growing uncertainty.

Amidst this volatile market landscape, Veteran investor Bill Nygren noted that the chaos caused by Trump’s steep tariffs has opened up a rare window for long-term investors to scoop up undervalued stocks. While he admits the uncertainty is not great for investors and could lead to inflation and slower growth, he sees opportunity in the selloff. Nygren pointed out that many quality companies, including major airlines, banks, and media firms, are now trading at dirt-cheap valuations. Some of them are trading under 7 or 8 times earnings because of overly negative investor sentiment. Nygren believes that if you hold these types of stocks long enough, there is a good chance they will deliver solid returns.

Hedge fund billionaire Warren Buffett also endorses Bill Nygren’s approach. Buffett made his $165 billion fortune by practicing value investing. He is known for buying stocks that are undervalued compared to their true worth and holding onto them for the long run. His approach focuses on companies with robust fundamentals, solid management, and potential for future growth, rather than chasing after risky or short-term trends. Value investing involves looking for stocks with low price-to-earnings ratios, and it often requires investors to go against the market’s emotions and short-term movements.

With this outlook in mind, let’s take a look at stocks in the S&P 500 with the lowest PE ratios.

P/E Ratio as of April 29: 6.86

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 45

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), an American automotive giant, ranks 8th on our list of stocks with a low PE ratio. The company designs, builds, and sells trucks, SUVs, vans, cars, and luxury Lincoln models worldwide. On April 23, Citi began coverage of the stock with a Neutral rating and a price target of $10. Ford’s stock has been flat due to uneven production, rising warranty costs, and EV losses. Citi sees continued uncertainty, especially with potential $2-3 billion tariff impacts.

On April 28, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) announced a second quarter dividend of $0.15 per share on its common and Class B stock. The dividend will be paid on June 2 to shareholders on record as of May 12.

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) made $900 million in earnings before interest and taxes from its China business, including exports, in 2024. However, it is facing tough competition from local Chinese automakers and EV giants like BYD and Tesla, which dominate the market. With sales slowing, Ford is focusing on using China as an export hub. American tariffs on Chinese imports are also creating challenges, but Ford’s Lincoln Nautilus, assembled in China, saw a 50% jump in sales in the United States, reaching 36,544 units.

Among the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey in Q4 2024, 45 funds reported owning stakes in Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F), up from 36 funds in the preceding quarter.

Overall, F ranks 8th among the lowest PE ratio stocks in the S&P.
