As an investor, I look for investments which does not compromise one fundamental factor for another. By this I mean, I look at stocks holistically, from their financial health to their future outlook. In the case of Assura Plc (LON:AGR), it is a company with a an impressive history of dividend payments as well as a excellent growth outlook. Below is a brief commentary on these key aspects. If you’re interested in understanding beyond my high-level commentary, read the full report on Assura here.
Established dividend payer with reasonable growth potential
AGR is an attractive stock for growth-seeking investors, with an expected earnings growth of 25% in the upcoming year, supported by its outstanding capacity to churn out cash from operating activities, which is predicted to ramp up by 60% next year. This indicates that earnings is driven by top-line activity rather than purely unsustainable cost-reduction initiatives.
For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, AGR is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 5.1%.
