Ford sees a $2.5 billion cost from the semiconductor shortage (at the high end of what CEO Jim Farley had said), but it hopefully expects Q2 “to be the trough of the” impact”.

Compare F stock vs the SP500 for the past 40 years, and the investor sentiment is clearly shown. F is not a good investment. Short term swings are driven by flights of fancy. F economic fundamentals haven't been good since 1903.
