Alternative ways to invest in Collectors Universe

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Collectors Universe), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Collectors Universe is a major part of the NASDAQ, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Is Collectors Universe 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 Collectors Universe P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Collectors Universe's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $20.8 million (£0.0 million).
