FinancialCentre Broker looks into the reasons for investing in particular companies till Retirement
London, UK, 4th Dec 2021, ZEXPRWIRE, Stocks and shares allow people to invest in companies. These investments are made through the purchase of stocks or by investing directly into a company. Investors can buy both debt and equity to create a balanced portfolio that is riskier than savings but has much more return on investment. People who want to invest money for Retirement can do so through stock and shares. Investors who don’t want their money tied up and want to access it at any time can also invest in stocks and shares.
The decision of what to invest in will depend on the investor’s appetite for risk and their investment objective. What one person may feel is a good investment, another might not. Various factors can make a stock or share seem like a good investment, for example, current dividend yield, long term growth in revenue and earnings per share.
These are the top 4 stocks analyzed by FinancialCentre broker Michael Lisowsky that you can invest in till Retirement.
- iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT):
iRobot is a company that manufactures robots for home use. It was founded in 1990 and has since grown to have over 400 employees worldwide. iRobot has offices across various countries, including the US, Australia, Canada, France and China. These are just some of the fastest-growing markets where the iRobot Corporation is rapidly expanding its presence. They were once a market leader in the US, but they have been overtaken by other tech giants, such as Google and Amazon. However, the corporation is still doing well in this country and constantly promotes its products at various conferences and events.
iRobot has recently experienced a significant increase in revenue growth due to rising sales of their Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners. In the past 12 months, the company’s shares have increased by 31%. This is a good sign for investors and shows that there is a possibility of steady growth in revenue and earnings per share. The company has a P/E ratio of 36.19, which estimates that the stock will continue to increase. iRobot also has a high dividend yield of 1.46%. It is expected to maintain its dividend policy if the company continues to experience growth in earnings per share, which currently stands at $1.09.
