# Schroders plc (SDR.L) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. LSE, United Kingdom. Sector: Financial Services / Capital Markets. Price 586p, market value 9.1 billionp.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 13.3×** (5-yr avg 1438.8×, 3-yr avg 1370.5×). Schroders plc trades at 13.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 1438.8×: cheap by its own standards. The Financial Services median in the September 2026 study was 13.1×. Forward P/E is 14.3×, higher than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to fall.
- **PEG: 0.55**. A PEG of 0.55 means the P/E is low relative to expected earnings growth: the market is not paying much for that growth.
- **Price / sales: 1.5×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.5×.
- **Price / book: 2.1×**. The shares trade at 2.1× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **EV / EBITDA: 3.2×**. Enterprise value is 3.2× operating earnings before depreciation, the multiple that ignores how the company is financed; below 8× is inexpensive for most sectors.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 19.7%** (5-yr avg 0.1%). Free cash flow equals 19.7% 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: 7.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 7.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 75.4%**. Schroders plc keeps 75.4% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells, the kind of margin that comes with software, brands or pricing power.
- **Operating margin: 17.8%**. 17.8% of revenue is left after running the business, a healthy level in most sectors.
- **Net margin: 16.4%**. 16.4% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 12.1%**. 12.1% on shareholders' equity is solid.
- **Return on invested capital: 194.7%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 194.7%: comfortably above what that capital costs.
- **Return on assets: 4.0%**. Each dollar of assets produces 4.0% of profit; low single digits are normal for banks and insurers.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): 10.5%** (3-yr 3.9%/yr, 5-yr 5.0%/yr). Revenue grew 10.5% over the last year, against 5.0% a year compounded over five years: growth is accelerating.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): 25.9%** (3-yr 4.3%/yr, 5-yr 3.2%/yr). Earnings per share rose 25.9%, faster than revenue, so margins expanded or the share count shrank.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 59.1%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 59.1% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
- **Piotroski F-score: 6/9**. 6 of 9 checks pass: mixed.
- **Cash and short-term investments: 4.6 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: 3.76%** (0p per share, trailing). Schroders plc yields 3.76%, an income-level yield.
- **Payout ratio: 63%** (38% of free cash flow). 63% of earnings goes out as dividends, leaving room to keep raising it.
- **Consecutive years of increases: 26**. 26 straight years of increases (the data covers 26 years, so this may be longer): a record very few companies hold.
- **Dividend growth (5 yr): 2.1%/yr** (1-yr 0.0%). The dividend has grown 2.1% a year over five years.
- **Shareholder yield: 4.5%**. Dividends plus net buybacks return 4.5% of the market value a year.

## Price and momentum
- **Total return (1 yr): 59.1%** (YTD 43.8%, 3-mo 0.5%). The shares are up 59.1% over twelve months including dividends.
- **From 52-week high: -2.3%** (60.1% above the low). Trading within 5% of its 52-week high.
- **200-day average: above**. The price sits above its 200-day moving average, the usual definition of an uptrend.
- **RSI (14-day): 53**. An RSI of 53 is neutral.
- **Beta (1 yr): 0.18** (volatility 32%). Beta of 0.18 against the FTSE All-Share: the shares move much less than the market.
