Alternative ways to invest in Assura
Buying shares in just one company can leave you more exposed to unexpected swings in the market than if you have a range of investments - a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend having a broad mix of assets and funds that hold a ready-made portfolio of at least 50 different companies' shares, on the basis that drops in the value of some will be offset by rises elsewhere.
Assura is a major part of the LSE index, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Assura under- or over-valued?
Valuing a stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge value. Check out the Assura P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Forward annual dividend yield: 6.82% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 3.16% of net profits
Assura has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 6.82% of its share value annually.
Assura has paid out, on average, around 3.16% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 6.82% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 6.82% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Assura's case, that would currently equate to about 3.1p per share.
While Assura's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Assura's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
