Alternative ways to invest in Plus500
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.
Plus500 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).

Share price volatility

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while Plus500's is -0.0809. This would suggest that Plus500's shares have been inversely-correlated to the average (for this exchange) – so when the broader market trended up or down, Plus500 has bucked the trend.

Is Plus500 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 Plus500 P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Plus500's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 5x. In other words, Plus500 shares trade at around 5x 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.

Forward annual dividend yield: 4.73% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 64.88% of net profits
Plus500 has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 4.73% of its share value annually.
Plus500 has paid out, on average, around 64.88% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.73% 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 4.73% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Plus500's case, that would currently equate to about 83.9p per share.
Plus500'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 22 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
