ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Lumen Technologies 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: 9.33/100

Dividend payout ratio: 52.91% of net profits
Recently Lumen Technologies has paid out, on average, around 52.91% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 8.15% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Lumen Technologies shareholders could enjoy a 8.15% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lumen Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $1 per share.
Lumen Technologies's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Lumen Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 9 December 2021. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 November 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Lumen Technologies's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 31 March 1999. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Lumen Technologies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lumen Technologies shares which in turn could have impacted Lumen Technologies's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Lumen Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $10.2597 up to $15.6751. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
