Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including Samsung), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Samsung is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Samsung's shares have ranged in value from as little as $1076.5 up to $1444. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while Samsung's is 0.872. This would suggest that Samsung's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

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 Samsung P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Samsung's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 0x. In other words, Samsung shares trade at around 0x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United Kingdom stock market as of 10 November, 2023 (10). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Samsung's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Samsung's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 4.032. 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 Samsung's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
However, it's sensible to consider Samsung's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Samsung's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is a whopping $45,330.4 billion (£35,652.3 billion).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Samsung's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.
To put that into context you can compare it against similar companies.
