When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Ashland Global's overall score of 40.57 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 85th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Ashland Global is exposed to within the areas of "environmental" (carbon footprint, resource use etc.), "social" (health and safety, human rights etc.), and "governance" (anti-corruption, tax transparency etc.).
Environmental score: 20.37/100
Ashland Global's environmental score of 20.37 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Ashland Global is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 12.88/100
Ashland Global's social score of 12.88 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Ashland Global is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 26.52% of net profits
Recently Ashland Global has paid out, on average, around 26.52% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.24% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Ashland Global shareholders could enjoy a 1.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Ashland Global's case, that would currently equate to about $1.15 per share.
While Ashland Global's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Ashland Global may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Ashland Global's most recent dividend payout was on 14 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Ashland Global's shares were split on a 511:250 basis on 14 May 2017. So if you had owned 250 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 511 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Ashland Global shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 51.1% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Ashland Global shares which in turn could have impacted Ashland Global's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Ashland Global's shares have ranged in value from as little as $78.1618 up to $110.4184. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while Ashland Global's is 1.256. This would suggest that Ashland Global's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
