Ford's (F) Dividend is Going Up In Smoke, and Shares Could Rally When It Does
Portfolio Pulse from
Ford is considering reducing its dividend due to significant capital requirements for its electric vehicle (EV) segment, estimated at $5-5.5 billion this year. New 25% tariffs on imported vehicles and components further strain the company's cash flow, particularly impacting higher-end models like F-150s and SUVs. While a dividend cut could lower the yield from 7% to around 4%, the stock's depressed price may limit additional downside.
