Alternative ways to invest in Trifast

• Invest in Trifast via a fund

  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.

  Trifast 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

Frequently asked questions

• Does Trifast pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 3.03% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 3.03% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 40.46% of net profits

  Trifast has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.03% of its share value annually.

  Trifast has paid out, on average, around 40.46% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.03% 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 3.03% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Trifast's case, that would currently equate to about 2.1p per share.

  While Trifast'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 16 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
