# Aberdeen Group PLC (ABDN.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-11-04. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price 228p, market value 4.1 billionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.8×** (5-yr avg 969.2×, 3-yr avg 969.2×). Aberdeen Group PLC trades at 10.8× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 969.2×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 14.7×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.23**. A PEG of 0.23 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 2.3×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.3×.
- **Price / book: 0.8×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 10.0%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 10.0% of the market value, above its five-year average of 0.1%, so the shares are cheaper on cash than they have usually been. Above 5% is generally attractive.
- **Earnings yield: 9.2%**. The inverse of the P/E: 9.2% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Net margin: 22.9%**. 22.9% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 7.8%**. 7.8% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on assets: 3.7%**. Each dollar of assets produces 3.7% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 14.1%** (3-yr 7.8%/yr). Revenue grew 14.1% over the last year.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 63.1%**. Earnings per share rose 63.1%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 69.8%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 69.8% a year over three years.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 4/9**. 4 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: 1.8 billionp**. Leverage ratios are shown differently for banks and insurers, whose balance sheets are built on deposits and reserves; use return on equity and the regulatory capital in the filings instead.

## Dividends
- **Dividend yield: 6.49%** (0p per share, trailing). Aberdeen Group PLC yields 6.49%, high enough to check carefully: yields this high often precede a cut.
- **Payout ratio: 65%** (64% of free cash flow). 65% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Shareholder yield: 7.3%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 7.3% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 8.2%** (YTD 7.6%, 3-mo -8.1%). The shares are up 8.2% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -14.1%** (26.7% above the low). Trading 14% below its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: below**. The price sits below its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of a downtrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 36**. An RSI of 36 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 1.20** (volatility 30%). Beta of 1.20 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move roughly with the market.
