Ford stock has been resilient this year, and Ford’s dividend yield has remained strong even as the stock price climbs.
Up an impressive 31% in 2025 (so far), the company managed to silence skeptics who thought rising tariffs, supply chain lapses and electric vehicle losses could derail its performance.
Instead, the automaker remained on the fast lane, allowing it to pay regular dividends and even offer a small cash bonus to its loyal shareholders.
If you’ve ever dreamed of getting paid just to hold a piece of Detroit muscle, now’s the time to take note.

How much Ford stock you should own
Here’s the math: With Ford’s quarterly dividend set at $0.15 per share, that’s an annual payout of $0.60 per share.
So, to collect $1,000 in dividends per year, you would need to own about 1,670 shares, or about $21,710 worth of Ford stock at the current price of about $13 per share.
There’s more.
If the company renews its special dividend in 2026 (as it has for three consecutive years), your annual income gets closer to $1,260.
Not a bad return for parking your money with one of America’s most iconic automakers.
Part of what’s fueling Ford’s resurgence is its surprisingly strong performance in 2025 across all divisions.
Last quarter, the automaker reported record revenue of $50.5 billion, up nearly 10% year-over-year.
Its Ford Pro commercial vehicle unit, which sells everything from F-150s to fleet vans, generated EBIT of nearly $2 billion on revenue of $17.4 billion, more than offsetting losses at the electric-vehicle-focused Model e division.
Staying stable with hybrid and electric options
Meanwhile, Ford isn’t ignoring the future.
The company has rolled out hybrid versions of its best-selling models, while keeping an eye on demand for electric vehicles and acting accordingly.
Meanwhile, the automaker continues to sell its ICE cars well, even though the F-150 is no longer the best-selling vehicle in the United States.
By maintaining a regular dividend and supplementing it with additional payouts, the company is proving that it can reward investors even in turbulent times.
Whether you’re in it for the dividends or just want to support an American icon, the company’s 2025 performance shows it’s firing on all cylinders.
