Alternative ways to invest in Henry Boot

• Invest in Henry Boot 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.

  Henry Boot 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).

  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 3.33% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 3.33% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 26.64% of net profits

  Henry Boot has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.33% of its share value annually.

  Henry Boot has paid out, on average, around 26.64% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.33% 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 3.33% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Henry Boot's case, that would currently equate to about 6.7p per share.

  While Henry Boot's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

  The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
