Alternative ways to invest in Quartix Holdings

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.
Quartix Holdings 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 Quartix Holdings 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 Quartix Holdings P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

P/E ratio
Quartix Holdings EBITDA

Quartix Holdings's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 27x. In other words, Quartix Holdings shares trade at around 27x recent earnings.

That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the FTSE 250 at the end of September 2019 (19.71). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.

Quartix Holdings's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £5.7 million.

The EBITDA is a measure of a Quartix Holdings's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend yield: 2.69% of stock value

Forward annual dividend yield: 2.69% of stock value

Quartix Holdings has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.69% of its share value annually.

Quartix Holdings has paid out, on average, around 148% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.69% 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 2.69% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Quartix Holdings's case, that would currently equate to about 4p per share.

Quartix Holdings'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 29 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
