Ford: AI Exuberance Prematurely Priced In - Wait For ~5% Yields

F's recent rally is driven by new BESS offerings at a time of AI optimism, with it triggering the inflated valuations relative to historical means, pending monetization in late 2027. The robust FQ1'26 results are skewed by numerous adjustments, including one-time IEEPA tariff benefit at +$1.3B, with FQ2'26/H2'26 likely bringing forth mixed optics. F has reported an underwhelming US April 2026 sales at a time of growing hybrid demand, worsened by the lower wholesales from the Novelis fire.
