Alternative ways to invest in Chesnara

Via a fund

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 Chesnara), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Chesnara 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).

Frequently asked questions

- Dividend yield
- Forward yield
Dividend yield: 9.5% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 9.5% of stock value

Chesnara has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 9.50% of its share value annually.

Chesnara has paid out, on average, around 739.81% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 9.5% 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 9.5% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Chesnara's case, that would currently equate to about 24.2 per share.

Chesnara's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 September 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Chesnara's shares were split on a 964:963 basis on 23 November 2016. So if you had owned 963 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 964 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Chesnara shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 0.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Chesnara shares which in turn could have impacted Chesnara's share price.
It's as easy to sell Chesnara as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Chesnara shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online
2. Go to your portfolio. This should be in the main menu
