Jim Cramer Says 'Ford Motor Company (F) Is One Of The Cheapest Stocks In The Entire S&P 500, Even Today'

We recently published an article titled What Happened After Jim Cramer Talked About These 13 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) stands against the other stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed.

During a recent episode of Mad Money, Jim Cramer offered his perspective on the day’s market rally as he delved into the impact of the ongoing dynamic between President Donald Trump and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

“All day, I heard that today’s rally was just a bear market rally, okay? That it was a phony spike, and the market will go right back down the moment the president posts that there’ll be no compromise on tariffs. Who knows, maybe Fed Chief Jay Powell should be deported.”

However, Cramer pointed out that the tone shifted significantly just after the market closed. In his words, “We get incredible news that is sure to drive this market higher.” The news came directly from the President, who clarified that he had no intention of firing Powell, a rumor that Cramer identified as a major factor in the prior day’s market slide. Trump’s statement, “Never did, never will,” regarding any plans to remove Powell effectively erased the cloud of uncertainty that had been hanging over the markets.

Given this reversal, Cramer questioned whether the rally could still be called a bear market bounce. In his view, it now looked like something more substantial. He explained that real recoveries are often mischaracterized at first. According to Cramer, they typically begin with what appear to be bear market rallies, short-lived, suspicious upticks that many investors brush off due to repeated disappointments in the past. He stressed that the early stages of genuine market turnarounds are often marked by disbelief and hesitation, with only the boldest or most reckless traders recognizing their potential early on. He added:

“Now look, just because the President doesn’t want a constitutional crisis and is going to keep Powell doesn’t mean we have more to go on. For example, there’s been no sign of change from the administration on the trade wars.”

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)

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.”
