Alternative ways to invest in Halfords Group

• Invest in Halfords Group 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.

  Halfords Group 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 Halfords Group pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 4.4% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 4.4% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 0.85% of net profits

  Halfords Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.40% of its share value annually.

  Halfords Group has paid out, on average, around 0.85% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.4% 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 4.4% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Halfords Group's case, that would currently equate to about 9p per share.

  While Halfords Group'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 15 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
