Ford Closes 2025 at $13.12 as EV Sector Awaits Tesla Catalyst
Ford Motor shares ended 2025 at $13.12, down 0.83% in thin holiday trading. The automaker enters 2026 facing pivotal tests: Tesla's upcoming delivery report could reset EV sector sentiment, while February's earnings will reveal Ford's margin strategy amid Senate scrutiny of vehicle affordability.
Trading volume reached 26.3 million shares on December 31 as investors positioned for January's auto demand indicators. 'The year's first weeks define pricing strategies across Detroit,' noted one analyst watching Ford's $8.44-$13.99 yearly range.
All eyes now turn to Tesla's production numbers - the benchmark against which legacy automakers like Ford measure their electric transition. Political headwinds compound the challenge, with Washington examining auto pricing just as Ford prepares its 2026 roadmap.
