Ford Selloff Tests Wall Street’s Faith in an Earnings Recovery Ford Motor Co. shares have fallen sharply as enthusiasm around its earlier rally fades and a tougher economic backdrop weighs on the auto industry.

The stock has fallen about 30% from its May peak, when investors had pushed the shares higher on beliefs that Ford would benefit from the buildout of artificial-intelligence infrastructure.
