Enhancing Your Ford Portfolio

Shareholders of Ford Motor Co. aiming to amplify their returns beyond the stock’s 5% yearly dividend yield have an intriguing option at their disposal. By engaging in the sale of the December 2026 covered call at the $16.82 strike and procuring the premium based on the 95 cents bid, investors can elevate their earnings. This strategy potentially adds a remarkable 3.1% rate of return (annualized) against the current stock price, creating a total of 8.1% annualized rate if the stock is not called away. Venturing into this terrain involves a calculated risk; observing Ford’s journey, investors would have to witness a 39.9% ascent in F shares from current levels to encounter any drawbacks. Yet, in the event the stock is called away, shareholders would have gathered an impressive 47.8% return from the trading level, apart from any previously accumulated dividends.

In reality, dividends can be as capricious as the weather, closely mirroring a company’s financial fortunes. By delving into Ford Motor Co.’s dividend history chart below, stakeholders can discern whether the recent dividend trend is sustainable. This analysis further aids in determining whether a 5% annualized dividend yield is a realistic expectation moving forward.
