We analysed all popular share dealing platforms in the UK using 35 data points and combined this with our expert insight from using the apps. The platforms we've selected as best for each category offer stand-out features or a unique combination of elements for a specific aspect of investing. If we show a "Promoted for" pick, it's been chosen from among our partners and is based on factors that include special features or offers, and the commission we receive.

All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.

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

Biffa 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: 1.15% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.68% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 3.13% of net profits

Biffa has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.15% of its share value annually.

Biffa has paid out, on average, around 3.13% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.68% 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 1.68% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Biffa's case, that would currently equate to about 4.7 per share.

While Biffa's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that the company is investing more in its future growth.

Biffa's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- Renewi (RWI.LSE): 0.58% (0.58% forward annual dividend yield)
- Mitie Group (MTO.LSE): 3.22% (3.22% forward annual dividend yield)
- The Boeing Company (BOE.LSE): (does not pay dividend)
