Forget Ford's Lucrative Dividend. GM Has a Different and Perhaps Better Way to Reward Investors.

General Motors has announced a $20 billion share repurchase authorization and has reduced outstanding shares by nearly 40% since early 2023. With strong cash flow generation, GM's total shareholder yield (buybacks plus dividends) reaches 12.59%, roughly double Ford's 5.7%, potentially offering better long-term value despite Ford's more publicized dividend strategy.
