Alternative ways to invest in Solid State
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 Solid State), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Solid State 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).
Is it a good time to buy Solid State stock?
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Solid State's shares have ranged in value from as little as 1004.6439 up to 1432.3636. 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 Solid State's is 1.109. This would suggest that Solid State's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).

Is Solid State 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 Solid State P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Solid State's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 21x. In other words, Solid State shares trade at around 21x recent earnings.
That's relatively high compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United Kingdom stock market as of 09 November, 2023 (10). The high P/E ratio could mean that investors are optimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're over-valued.
However, Solid State's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Gooch-and-Housego (GHH.LSE): 34.38
- Strix Group (KETL.LSE): 11.07
Solid State's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £15.1 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Solid State'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.
- Gooch-and-Housego (GHH.LSE): £15.4 million
- Strix Group (KETL.LSE): £28.9 million
- TT Electronics (TTG.LSE): £26.6 million
