Ford Motor Company's Return on Equity (ROE) has shown a mix of positive and negative trends over the past few years.
The ROE was negative in the first half of 2020, indicating that the company's net income was insufficient to cover its shareholder equity during that period. However, the ROE started to improve from the second half of 2020, turning positive in March 2021.
From December 2021 to March 2024, Ford's ROE has generally been positive, with some fluctuations. The highest ROE was recorded in December 2021 at 36.97%, indicating that the company generated significant profits relative to its equity during that quarter. The ROE for the most recent quarter, March 2024, was 9.15%, showing a moderate profitability level.
Overall, the recent ROE figures suggest that Ford has been able to effectively utilize its equity to generate profits for its shareholders. However, the negative ROE figures in 2020 and the slight decline in December 2022 indicate that the company may have faced challenges during those periods. Continued monitoring of Ford's ROE will be important to assess its financial health and performance.
