Investors shouldn't expect outsized long-term returns from Ford

In the past 10- and 20-year periods, Ford shares have generated total returns of 33% and 150%, respectively. These gains failed to exceed that of theindex. And it's not even close.

The disappointing performance likely won't reverse course as we look to the next 10 or 20 years. Low growth, weak margins, huge capital expenditures, and cyclicality describe Ford's business. It's not controversial to say that this isn't a high-quality company.

Ford shares might always trade at a cheap valuation

Ford's valuation is dirt cheap. The market is offering the stock at a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 9, which makes the dividend yield hefty at 5.26%. This might look like a compelling opportunity.

However, there's no reason to assume that the market will expand Ford's valuation in the years ahead. Fast growth, wide margins, capital-light business models, and durable demand trends are traits that investors reward. Ford just doesn't fit the bill.
