NEW YORK, USA – Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) shares are showing positive momentum in midday trading today, attracting investor attention. The legacy automaker’s stock is pushing higher, building on its opening price.
As of 12:40 PM EDT, Ford stock was trading at 0.10 or +1.07% for the session. The market remains open, and the stock has navigated a daily range between $9.45 and $9.62 so far.
Trading activity has been substantial, with nearly 59.7 million shares changing hands. However, this volume is currently tracking below Ford’s hefty average daily volume of over 120.5 million shares, suggesting activity levels are notable but not yet reaching peak levels seen on average.
Ford opened the day slightly higher at $9.47 compared to its previous close of $9.45. The intraday chart indicates the stock found firmer footing after the initial market open, climbing steadily towards its current level near the session highs.
From a valuation perspective, Ford carries an intraday market capitalization of approximately $37.956 billion. The stock trades at a relatively low Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio (TTM) of 6.54, based on its Earnings Per Share (EPS) (TTM) of $1.46. Its Beta (5Y Monthly) of 1.43 indicates the stock tends to be more volatile than the overall market.
A key draw for investors is likely Ford’s significant forward dividend yield of 7.94%, translating to an annual payout of $0.75 per share. The next ex-dividend date for shareholders is noted as February 18, 2025.
Looking at the broader picture, Ford’s stock is trading well within its 52-week range of $8.44 to $14.85. The current analyst 1-year target estimate sits modestly above the current price at $10.01. Investors will be keeping an eye on Ford’s performance as the trading day progresses, with the next scheduled earnings report anticipated around May 5, 2025.
