Alternative ways to invest in Mitie Group

• Invest in Mitie 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.

  Mitie 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 Mitie Group pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield

  Dividend yield: 2.32% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 2.32% of stock value

  Mitie Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.32% of its share value annually.

  Mitie Group has paid out, on average, around 105% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.32% 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 2.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Mitie Group's case, that would currently equate to about 2.1p per share.

  Mitie Group's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

  The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 December 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").

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