Why These 10 Dividend Stocks Are Declining?

2. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F)

Annual dividend yield: 6.51%

Number of Hedge Funds: 36 (2024 Q3)

Quarterly dividend amount: $0.15

Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) has been experiencing a decline in stock prices for a while due to its negative outlook for sales in 2025. The company expects a 15-25% decline in revenue. The stock declined by 5% on Wednesday, February 5, 2025, despite its EPS beating Wall Street estimates. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) posted an EPS of $1.48, which is 8.6% higher than the analyst estimates. The company additionally declared a 15-cent special dividend for its investors for the year 2024. However, the revenue of the company failed to meet the expectations.

The decline in the revenue is due to the poor performance of the EV segment, which lost $1.4 billion in the latest quarter and $5.1 billion for the entire year. US President Trump promised $7,500 EV-purchase tax credits in the future, and it could play a significant role in dictating the performance of the stock in the coming months. Furthermore, the proposed 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports can have a substantial impact on the revenue of Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) as the company relies majorly (almost 30% to 50%) on imports from those two countries. The overall outlook on the stock remains negative among analysts, with a 2025 EPS estimate adjusted to $1.30 from $1.80.
