Volvo Stock - The Volvo Group, also known as AB Volvo, is a Swedish vehicle manufacturer that is the second-biggest manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks on the planet. They also produce a range of other goods, such as construction equipment and industrial drive systems, as well as providing financial services.
The Volvo name was first introduced in the early 20th century, based on a Latin term and with the idea of using it for a brand of ball bearing launched by the manufacturing company SKF. However, it was then used for their new vehicles, with 1927’s launch of the Volvo ÖV 4 marking the start of this new direction.
The Volvo Group is based in Gothenburg and has several manufacturing locations dotted across the globe. This company shouldn’t be confused with Volvo Cars, which was previously part of the AB Volvo until it was sold to the Chinese firm Geely Holding Group in 2010.
Volvo has been listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange since 1935 under the ticker STO: VOLV B, and also had a brief spell on the US100. A look at the Volvo share price history reveals notable peaks in 2007 and 2011. The changing price reflects both the volatility in the overall industries they are involved in and the way that different parts of the Volvo group have changed hands over the years.
The Volvo share price has seen relatively modest increases in the 21st century as a whole. However, the shareholder return has been boosted by the presence of normal cash dividends and extra cash dividends. One example of this trend is seen in the 2021 extra dividend made following the sale of UD Trucks.
The importance of share dividends can be seen in the way that they have contributed to the Volvo shareholder return in the past. On this basis, someone who is looking for a long-term investment may decide that the dividend returns could smooth out any volatility in the share price.
You can also find the Volvo share listed in various funds, meaning that it’s possible to invest in them without directly buying any Volvo stock. This could lead to a more diversified investment, but it also means that the impact of any increase in the Volvo share price wouldn’t be fully felt by the investor.
