While the dividend yield of Ford Motor Company is currently 6.16%, the history of dividend stability is very poor.
The stock prices in the graph are adjusted according to dividend returns to provide return that is all encompassing.
This is the real rate of return for Ford Motor Company.
Over the lifetime of the company, the annual return has averaged a rate of 9.4%.
While this average seems reasonable, the extreme ranges mean that an investor could lose the largest majority of the investment at any given point in time and the recent dip has signalled fear for the company.
Ford Motor Company is on the No-Go list for me.
