Henry Ford incorporated the company in 1903 and the moving assembly line for the Model T in 1913 cut build time from hours to minutes, reshaping industrial production. The modern business is organized into Ford Blue for combustion vehicles, Model e for electric, and Ford Pro for commercial fleets, the last supplying much of the profit through vans, Super Duty trucks, and attached service subscriptions. The F-Series pickup has been the best-selling American vehicle for decades. The family retains control through Class B shares. Headquarters are in Dearborn, Michigan.

Ford equity questions

How much does it cost to hedge F stock?
The cost of a protective put depends on how far below the current price you set the floor, how long the protection lasts, and F's option-implied volatility. A zero-cost collar lowers that cost by selling away some upside. The calculator above prices both structures off the current F option chain and shows the annual cost, maximum loss, and tax treatment.
Does Ford grant ISOs, NSOs, or RSUs?
Equity compensation at Ford typically takes the form of restricted stock units (RSUs). Restricted stock units are taxed as ordinary income when they vest.
