Alternative ways to invest in Savills

• Via a fund
• Via a FTSE 250 ETF

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

Savills 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

• Does Savills pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 1.77% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 1.77% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 66.67% of net profits

  Savills has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.77% of its share value annually.

  Savills has paid out, on average, around 66.67% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.77% 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 1.77% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Savills's case, that would currently equate to about 21 per share.

  Savills'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 28 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

• Have Savills's shares ever split?

  Savills's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 May 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares.

However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Savills shares which in turn could have impacted Savills's share price.
