     The price-earnings ratio is used to show current investor demand for a company share (Rahman & Shamsuddin, 2019). On the same note, the higher the ratio, the higher the price of a stock. In contrast, the lower the ratio, the lower the price of a stock. Ideally, the price-earnings ratio helps investors to understand the trends and patterns of whether the markets are overvaluing or undervaluing a stock.

            Different companies have different price-earnings ratio ranges that are considered normal for their industry group. For example, technological companies sell at a larger price-earnings ratio as compared to the textile mill. Before an investor can invest, they must consider what is going on in the world. For example, if the economy is in a recession or there is a global health crisis, corporate earnings can greatly decrease. On the other hand, if the economy is in a boom, corporate earnings can continue to increase. Therefore, after careful consideration of the performance of the economy, an investor can decide to invest or not to invest in a specific company (Gill, Khurshid, Mahmood, & Ali, 2018).

            Ford is one of the companies that trade in NYSE. Since the decade began, the company has invested heavily in research and innovation to help the company keep up with competition from rivalry firms. After the outbreak of the global pandemic, Fords stock decreased in value from reduced demand in the automotive market and tensions from China. This is because the company relies heavily on China for manufacturing parts of their vehicles. In July, the company experienced a loss of 35 cents a share on automotive revenue of $16.6 billion (Garcia, 2020). Ford Company is yet to implement ways to stop the long-term downward since 2013. Ideally, most investors focused on top growth stock with superior fundamentals will not buy Ford stock with the ongoing global pandemic.
