All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.

Alternative ways to invest in Eurocell

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.
Eurocell 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 Eurocell 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 Eurocell P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

P/E ratio
Eurocell EBITDA

Eurocell's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 7x. In other words, Eurocell shares trade at around 7x recent earnings.

That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.

Eurocell's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £38.6 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Eurocell's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 7.73% of stock value

Forward annual dividend yield: 7.73% of stock value

Dividend payout ratio: 1.55% of net profits

Eurocell has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 7.73% of its share value annually.

Eurocell has paid out, on average, around 1.55% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 7.73% 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 7.73% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eurocell's case, that would currently equate to about 10.7p per share.

While Eurocell'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 19 April 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
