12. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 45

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) was brought up in contrast to Tesla in that episode. Cramer emphasized Ford’s strength in hybrid and combustion engine vehicles, which he believed consumers still wanted and praised the stock’s valuation at the time. Here are his remarks:

“The long story short is Ford has the best non-electric lineup, including hybrids, popular internal combustions, and yes, the F-150 truck line,  the greatest selling truck line in history. And that’s where the money is going. Hey by the way, Ford’s one of the cheapest stocks in the entire S&P 500, even today. When you see that kind of action it means the market’s willing to buy cheap.”

This was another miss by Cramer as the automaker has fallen by 24.42% since then.

On the 9th of April, Jim Cramer analyzed the situation that Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) finds itself in with its manufacturing downturns and tariff uncertainty. Here’s what he said:

[Talking about an analyst downgrade] “Okay, so there’s a piece out this morning which really captures the zeitgeist of manufacturing. Ford, and it’s Bernstein, and they’re going to a sell, and they’re talking about tariffs, they’re talking about decline. Obviously, we’re going to be talking about a recession and how they do in a recession. And what it basically says is, wow, you know what, I know why this stock sells at four times earnings. And it’s a value trap.

And I think it’s a most unfortunate, because Ford makes the 150 here. It’s a great product. They do assemble. We were all told, major companies like Ford were told to do some assembling here. Ford played by the rules. And because they played by the rules, they’re going to be shredded. And I think there’s a notion of, well, is that deserving? And that maybe deserves has nothing to do with it. […] I don’t like Ford. I don’t like Ford because of the warranty issue.”
