Alternative ways to invest in Bloomsbury Publishing

• Via a fund
• Via an S&P 500 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 Bloomsbury Publishing), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Bloomsbury Publishing 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 Bloomsbury Publishing pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 2.46% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 2.46% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 32.25% of net profits

  Bloomsbury Publishing has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 2.46% of its share value annually.

  Bloomsbury Publishing has paid out, on average, around 32.25% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.46% 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 2.46% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Bloomsbury Publishing's case, that would currently equate to about 14.9 per share.

  While Bloomsbury Publishing's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
