Frequently asked questions

• Does Ford pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 4.32% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 4.34% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 78.13% of net profits

  Ford has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.32% of its share value annually.

  Ford has paid out, on average, around 78.13% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 4.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ford's case, that would currently equate to about 0.6 per share.

  Ford's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

  Ford's most recent dividend payout was on 30 November 2025. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 6 November 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

  Ford's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

  • Honda Motor Co Ltd ADR (HMC.US): 4.59% (4.59% forward annual dividend yield)
  • General Motors Company (GM.US): (0.76% forward annual dividend yield) (does not pay dividend)
  • Toyota Motor Corporation ADR (TM.US): 2.53% (2.53% forward annual dividend yield)

• When does the fiscal year end for Ford?

  Ford's fiscal year ends in December.

• Where is Ford based?

  Ford's address is: One American Road, Dearborn, MI, United States, 48126

• Have Ford's shares ever split?

  Ford's shares were split on a 1748175:1000000 basis on 2 August 2000. So if you had owned 1000000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1748175 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ford shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 42.8% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ford shares which in turn could have impacted Ford's share price.

• How do I sell Ford shares?

  It's as easy to sell Ford as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Ford shares that you already own.

  1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online

  5. Sell your Ford shares. Your investment platform will let you know when your shares are sold

• Can you buy Ford shares with a debit card?

  Most dealing providers will let you use your debit card to top up your account and buy shares. The main ways are with a debit card, bank transfer or with Apple/Google Pay.

• What's the easiest way to buy Ford shares?

  The easiest way to get hold of some Ford shares is to sign up for a share trading app and place a market order or basic order. This type of order tells the platform that you're interested, so it'll try to execute it as quickly as it can. It could take some time for the order to go through, especially if there's a lot of volatility in Ford shares.

• Do you need to complete a W8-BEN form if you want to invest in Ford?

  Yes. When you investing in a US stock, you need to complete a W8-BEN form to minimise your tax liability. Whether these are automatically handled for you depends on your broker, so it would be a good idea to check with them directly.
