Alternative ways to invest in Morgan Advanced Materials

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.
Morgan Advanced Materials 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 Morgan Advanced Materials 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 Morgan Advanced Materials P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

Morgan Advanced Materials's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 11x. In other words, Morgan Advanced Materials shares trade at around 11x 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.

Morgan Advanced Materials's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 3.57. Higher PEG ratios such as this can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value given the current rate of growth.

The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Morgan Advanced Materials's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.

Morgan Advanced Materials's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £161.6 million.

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

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 3.99% of stock value

Forward annual dividend yield: 3.99% of stock value

Dividend payout ratio: 35.55% of net profits

Morgan Advanced Materials has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.99% of its share value annually.

Morgan Advanced Materials has paid out, on average, around 35.55% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.99% 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 3.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Morgan Advanced Materials's case, that would currently equate to about 11.2p per share.

While Morgan Advanced Materials'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 26 October 2022 (the "ex-dividend date").
