The FTSE 250 is a well-liked searching floor for buyers searching for progress shares. Its composition of mid-cap shares gives (in concept) extra scope for vital earnings progress than the FTSE 100‘s blue chips, and subsequently the potential for superior capital features.

What unfairly will get much less consideration is the index’s means to supply an honest passive earnings. For instance the purpose, the FTSE 250’s ahead dividend yield of three.5% matches that on provide from the Footsie.

At this time I’m searching for the perfect ‘all rounders’ for UK share buyers to think about shopping for right this moment. Listed below are two from the FTSE 250 I believe are engaging progress and dividend shares, and particularly so at present costs.

Warehouse REIT

Please be aware that tax therapy relies on the person circumstances of every consumer and could also be topic to alter in future. The content material on this article is offered for data functions solely. It’s not supposed to be, neither does it represent, any type of tax recommendation.

Actual property funding trusts (REITs) like Warehouse REIT (LSE:WHR) usually don’t have the potential to ship stratospheric dividend progress. However they compensate for this by offering a dependable stream of passive earnings no matter financial circumstances.

That is thanks largely to REIT dividend guidelines. Every year, not less than 90% of annual rental earnings have to be distributed by means of dividends.

Nonetheless, this alone isn’t sufficient to ensure regular dividends, given their relationship to earnings supply. But earnings at corporations similar to this are normally proof against volatility because of the lengthy contracts that tenants are tied down with.

Within the case of Warehouse REIT, the weighted common unexpired lease time period (WAULT) as of September was 4.7 years.

Metropolis analysts anticipate annual dividends to be locked for this monetary 12 months (to March 2025) and subsequent 12 months. Nonetheless, buyers can nonetheless get pleasure from a tasty 6.2% dividend yield.

I anticipate rising demand for logistics properties to underpin sturdy long-term dividends right here. I believe it’s value contemplating regardless of rate of interest dangers to its earnings (e.g., the potential for larger borrowing prices and lowered asset values).

Certainly, Metropolis analysts anticipate earnings to rise 23% in monetary 2025 and seven% in monetary 2026. With a ahead price-to-earnings-to-growth (PEG) ratio of 0.8 for this 12 months, that represents first rate worth for cash.

Any studying beneath one suggests {that a} share is undervalued.

Bakkavor

Bakkavor (LSE:BAKK) is one other FTSE 250 share providing a pretty mix of progress, dividends, and worth.

Forecasters assume earnings right here will leap 26% 12 months on 12 months in 2025. This leaves it dealing on a ahead PEG a number of of 0.6. In the meantime, expectations of one other dividend improve leaves the dividend yield at a meaty 4.9%.

Bakkavor makes freshly ready meals like bread, salads, pizzas, and desserts. This has two distinct benefits for buyers.

Firstly, meals business earnings have a tendency to stay steady no matter financial circumstances. All of us have to eat, don’t we?

Secondly, the corporate is tapping right into a fast-growing section: persons are turning into extra inclined to more healthy, brisker meals, however an more and more massive variety of us don’t have the time to organize them. Bakkavor solves this drawback.

With operations throughout the UK, US, and China, Bakkavor gives publicity to rock-solid markets alongside fast-growing ones. Keep in mind, although, that its geographic footprint leaves it weak to international foreign money threat.

Bakkavor has additionally been experiencing earnings points in Asia just lately, although the success of current restructuring initiatives is an encouraging omen.
