Alternative ways to invest in Devro

• Invest in Devro via a fund

  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.

  Devro 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).

Frequently asked questions

• Does Devro pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 2.86% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 2.86% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 2.77% of net profits

  Devro has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.86% of its share value annually.

  Devro has paid out, on average, around 2.77% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.86% 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 2.86% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Devro's case, that would currently equate to about 9.4p per share.

  While Devro'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 30 November 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

  Devro's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
