Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
Market for Registrant’s Stock
Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States under the symbol F. As of January 31, 2020, stockholders of record of Ford included approximately 112,618 holders of Common Stock and 3 holders of Class B Stock. We believe that the number of beneficial owners is substantially greater than the number of record holders because a large portion of our Common Stock is held in “street name” by brokers.
