The industry itself · before any single company
How has Auto Manufacturers moved against S&P 500?
The line below covers 5.2 years. Over the most recent two of them this industry is 30% behind S&P 500. Earnings across its companies fell 39% on average over the last four reported quarters.

Participation is spreading downward — the mid and small companies added more this month than the large ones did.
Both lines start at 200 in the same week, so the distance between them is the whole story: the industry line is an equal-weighted index of its 19 companies. The bars underneath are trailing 12-month earnings per share, one bar per reported quarter, each member rebased to 100 at the start and the industry taking the median — so a price line pulling away from flat bars is a re-rating, not earnings. A bar turns red when that figure is lower than the quarter before. Rules are fixed and applied identically everywhere on this site: ahead by 5% or more over three months, or behind by 20% or more over a year while earnings grew 20% or more. Hover any point to read both values and the gap. This is a description of what the numbers did, not advice.
Sector relative strength · before individual stocks
Is Auto Manufacturers outperforming S&P 500?
Auto Manufacturers has underperformed S&P 500 by 16.4% over the last 52 weeks. Over 13 weeks the gap is a lead of 17%. 2 of 12 covered companies currently beat the S&P 500 on Mansfield relative strength, so leadership inside the sector is selective. General Motors Company is the strongest against the sector itself at +18.8%.

4-Factor Sector Score
An additive sector-relative research score. The four displayed point contributions always equal the total: Growth & earnings (35), Capital efficiency (25), Valuation (20), and Relative strength (20). Missing or stale evidence is absorbed inside the affected factor, never applied as a hidden adjustment.
Ford Motor Company has the strongest current balance of earnings trajectory, business quality, valuation and price confirmation, with 72% evidence confidence.
Ford Motor Company has stronger price confirmation than earnings confirmation; that is a research prompt, not permission to chase.
Missing observations are not scored as bad. Their missing weight lowers confidence and pulls the final score toward neutral. PEG is guarded: positive earnings, positive 5–60% three-year EPS growth, and a positive P/E are required.
Decision use: Fill the missing evidence before acting; the ranking is deliberately pulled toward neutral.

Ford Motor Company has the highest Revenue among the 12 Auto Manufacturers companies compared here, at $189,861 million. Tesla, Inc. is next at $97,879 million. Lucid Group, Inc. has the highest Revenue growth at 61%, so level and change sit with different companies. 8 of 12 companies report a comparable reading, the latest through Mar 2026.
What the numbers say: Ford Motor Company is the scale leader at $189,861 million, 94% ahead of Tesla, Inc.. Lucid Group, Inc.'s growth is 61% from a $1,401 million base, with 19 reported observations in the 20-quarter window. Treat the growth leader as an acceleration candidate, not as equally proven scale.

This conclusion weakens if: Ford Motor Company's growth falls below Lucid Group, Inc.'s for two consecutive comparable reports while operating margin also compresses.
Revenue is compared on a common reported-currency basis. Growth is year-on-year, so seasonality does not masquerade as progress.

Before the conclusion · check the blind spots
What can make this comparison misleading?
This Auto Manufacturers comparison names 6 specific ways its own evidence can mislead, all listed below. 3 of the 12 companies report on an older date than the sector's freshest reporters, so their ranks are marked stale. 1 of the 8 ranked sections has fewer than three usable current readings. A high growth rate can still be a low-base artefact.
Keep these limits visible
A high growth rate can be a low-base artefact. The page keeps level and change separate for that reason.
A high ROCE can be temporary or flattered by a small capital base. Read it beside margin, cash conversion and reinvestment.
The 4-Factor Sector Score ranks research priority, not portfolio action. Management quality, catalysts and risks need equally fresh evidence before capital is deployed.
An “all companies” line chart preserves completeness, but rank changes should be checked against reporting dates before drawing a conclusion.
3 companies have older fundamental reporting dates than the sector’s freshest reporters; their ranks carry a stale marker.
Thin comparisons: Valuation have fewer than three usable current readings.

Which companies are included?
All 12 companies in the canonical Auto Manufacturers membership are listed below, largest market value first — nothing is silently dropped, even where a company reports too little to rank. The charts above default to a selective view; this register is the complete set, with each company's own latest reporting date beside it.
AHEAD means the company is beating the index by 5% or more over three months. LAGGING, FUNDAMENTALS UP means it is 20% or more behind over a year while its trailing twelve-month earnings grew 20% or more. Both rules are fixed and applied the same way in every sector.
This comparison is built from the reported filings of 12 Auto Manufacturers companies, normalized to a common $ scale and a shared quarter axis of up to 20 quarters each. Fundamentals run through Jun 2026 and market data through 2026-07-28. A second data feed fills gaps only after identity and scale reconciliation, and missing observations are never interpolated.

These 18 answers restate the Auto Manufacturers comparison above in question form. Every one is computed from the same 12 companies and the same reported filings as the rankings and charts, current through Jun 2026. Price and relative-strength answers run through 2026-07-28. Nothing here is estimated, and none of it is a recommendation.
Which Auto Manufacturers company is the biggest?
Ford Motor Company is the largest, with trailing-twelve-month revenue of $189,861 million, ahead of Tesla, Inc. at $97,879 million. That covers 8 of 12 companies with comparable reporting through Mar 2026.
Which Auto Manufacturers company is growing fastest?
Lucid Group, Inc. has the fastest revenue growth at 61% year on year, across 8 of 12 comparable companies. Fast growth off a small base is not the same as proven scale — check whether the rate holds across several quarters on the chart above before treating it as a trend.
Which Auto Manufacturers company has the best profit margins?
Ferrari N.V. has the highest operating margin at 29.7%, from 8 of 12 comparable companies. LiveWire Group, Inc. shows the biggest recent improvement, at +407.9 percentage points. A high margin matters most when it is holding or rising, not when it is peaking.
Which Auto Manufacturers company makes the most profit?
Tesla, Inc. earns the most, at $3,926 million of trailing-twelve-month net profit, from 8 of 12 comparable companies. Ferrari N.V. has the fastest profit growth at 0.9%, though growth off a small or recovering profit base overstates how much has actually changed.
Which Auto Manufacturers company earns the highest return on capital?
Robo.ai Inc. leads on return on capital employed at 135.7%, across 12 of 12 companies. Read it beside the length of its reported history: a high return that repeats for years is evidence of a durable business, while a single high reading can be a small capital base or one good year.
Which Auto Manufacturers stock is the cheapest?
On guarded PEG — where a LOWER number is cheaper — Tesla, Inc. screens cheapest at 3.73×. Only 2 of 12 companies pass the comparability guard, so this is not a sector-wide "cheapest stock" verdict. Cheap on a multiple is a reason to investigate, never a reason to buy on its own.
Which Auto Manufacturers company has the strongest balance sheet?
Robo.ai Inc. carries the lowest comparable gross debt at $27 million, from 10 of 12 companies. Absolute rupee debt alone does not settle it, because company scale differs — net debt and debt-to-equity in the chart above carry more information, and a very low-debt balance sheet can also mean under-investment.
Which Auto Manufacturers company is investing most in new capacity?
Stellantis N.V. reports the largest capital spending at $3,540 million, across 12 of 12 companies. Spending consumes cash before it earns anything, so treat the ranking as a diligence queue: check commissioning, utilisation and the return earned on the completed assets before reading spend as value creation.
Is the Auto Manufacturers sector beating the market?
Auto Manufacturers has underperformed S&P 500 by 16.4% over the last 52 weeks and 17% over 13 weeks, measured on an equal-weight index of its current members. Inside the sector, 2 of 12 covered companies are beating the market on their own. Sector strength does not transfer evenly to every stock in it.
Which Auto Manufacturers stock has the strongest price momentum?
