Ford’s 5.6% Total Yield Lags GM’s 11.3% as No Buyback Program
Ford Motor Company's current dividend yield stands at 1.52%, contributing to a total shareholder yield of 5.6% according to Morningstar, as the company lacks significant share repurchase programs. This total yield falls well short of General Motors' 11.3% combined dividend and buyback yield since 2023.
1. Ford Shares Dip More Than Broader Market
On the most recent trading session, Ford Motor Company’s stock closed at $13.60 per share, marking a 1.52% decline from the prior session’s close. This pullback outpaced the broader market’s downturn, as the S&P 500 slipped by approximately 0.9% on the same day. Trading volume for Ford reached roughly 12 million shares, about 20% above its 30-day average, signaling elevated selling interest. Investors cited lingering concerns over Ford’s near-term production ramp-up costs and pressure on margins from elevated raw-material prices. With full-year guidance awaiting release later this quarter, market participants will be watching closely for any revisions to the company’s profit outlook.
