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 Pan African Resources), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
Pan African Resources 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).
Only you can make the decision on the time to leap... but here's some supporting information and analysis.
Over the last 12 months, Pan African Resources's shares have ranged in value from as little as 11.2488 up to 25.5. 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 Pan African Resources's is 0.683. This would suggest that Pan African Resources's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).

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 Pan African Resources P/E ratio, PEG ratio and EBITDA
Pan African Resources's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 8x. In other words, Pan African Resources shares trade at around 8x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the United Kingdom stock market as of 09 November, 2023 (10). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
However, Pan African Resources's P/E ratio is best considered in relation to those of others within the industry or those of similar companies.
Pan African Resources's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is £143.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Pan African Resources'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.
