Alternative ways to invest in Stenprop

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.
Stenprop 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 Stenprop 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 Stenprop P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA

P/E ratio
Stenprop EBITDA

Stenprop's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 10x. In other words, Stenprop shares trade at around 10x 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.

Stenprop's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £22.6 million.

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

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield: 3.72% of stock value

Forward annual dividend yield: 3.71% of stock value

Dividend payout ratio: 35.75% of net profits

Stenprop has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.72% of its share value annually.

Stenprop has paid out, on average, around 35.75% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.71% 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 3.71% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Stenprop's case, that would currently equate to about 6.8p per share.

While Stenprop'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 21 July 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
