Ford: The Return of the Dividend!

Finally Ford, stock ticker F, has started to pay a dividend again. Although it is only 5 cents a share, currently a 1.81% yield, it holds a lot of meaning. It proves that with persistence and great leadership a company can weather a massive economic downturn and survive. Ford vehicles are made to last and so is their dividend. Their craftsmanship is high quality and most of their cars have the top fuel mileage in each class.


Ford says that their United States sales grew 13% in November. Their sales totaled 166,865 vehicles last month, compared to 147,338 a year earlier. Sales of the Explorer tripled, while sales of the Ford Escape were up 46%Sales of Ford SUVs rose 29%. Truck sales were up 22.8%. Ford branded sales were up 20% from a year earlier. Ford plans to construct 675,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2012, up 3% from this past year.

Currently selling at $11.03, Ford is still selling at a bargain. It's like walking into a Wal-mart and seeing those $5.00 classic DVDs or Blu-rays. Why would a movie like Officespace sell for $5.00? Well, that is how I view Ford. They are a classic automotive company which will never go out of business. It would have happened already. Ford has existed since June 16th, 1903 and if you have 20 to 30 years left in your working career then buying some F on Monday would be a good decision. Expect their dividend and share price to grow. Their customers are very loyal and demand Ford.
