This is how much Ford stock you'd need to own to earn $1,000 in yearly dividends

Ford stock has been quietly flexing its muscles this year, and Ford’s dividend yield has been holding strong even as the share price climbs.

Up an impressive 31 percent in 2025 (so far), the company has managed to silence skeptics who thought rising tariffs, supply chain wrinkles, and EV losses might derail its performance.

Instead, the carmaker has stayed in the fast lane, allowing it to pay steady dividends, and even throw in a little bonus cash for loyal shareholders.

If you’ve ever dreamed of getting paid just for holding a piece of Detroit muscle, now’s the time to take notice.

How much Ford stock you’d need to 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 a year in dividends, you’d need to own roughly 1,670 shares, or about $21,710 worth of Ford stock at the current price of around $13 a share.

There’s more.

If the company repeats its special dividend in 2026 (as it has for three years running), your annual income jumps closer to $1,260.

Not a bad return for parking your money in one of America’s most iconic automakers.

Part of what’s fueling Ford’s resurgence is its surprisingly strong 2025 performance across all divisions.

In the latest quarter, the carmaker reported a record $50.5 billion in revenue, up nearly 10 percent year over year.

Its Ford Pro commercial vehicle unit, which sells everything from F-150s to fleet vans, delivered almost $2 billion in EBIT on $17.4 billion in revenue, more than making up for losses in the EV-focused Model e division.

Holding steady with both hybrid and EV options

Meanwhile, Ford isn’t ignoring the future.

The company has been rolling out hybrid versions of its top-selling models, while keeping an eye on EV demand and acting accordingly.

During this time, the carmaker continues to do well for its ICE cars, even if the F-150 is no longer the best-selling vehicle in the US.

By maintaining a regular dividend and topping it off with supplemental payouts, the company is proving it can reward investors even in turbulent times.

Whether you’re in it for the dividends, or you simply want to support an American icon, the company’s 2025 performance shows that it’s firing on all cylinders.
