Alternative ways to invest in Admiral Group
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 Admiral Group), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Admiral Group 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 Admiral Group 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 Admiral Group P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA.
Admiral Group's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Admiral Group's shares trade at around 22x 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, Admiral Group's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
- Aviva (AV.LSE): 10.97
- AA (AA.LSE): 2.99
- Direct Line Insurance Group (DLG.LSE): 11.89
- Hastings Group (HSTG.LSE): 19.05
Admiral Group's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 1.8976. A PEG ratio over 1 can be interpreted as meaning shares are overvalued at the current rate of growth, or may anticipate an acceleration in growth.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Admiral Group'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 Admiral Group's PEG ratio in relation to those of similar companies.
Admiral Group's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £588.4 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of Admiral Group'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.
- Aviva (AV.LSE): £2.7 billion
- AA (AA.LSE): GBP£270 million
- Direct Line Insurance Group (DLG.LSE): £6.7 million
- Hastings Group (HSTG.LSE): £115.1 million
