Environmental, social and governance (known as ESG) criteria are a set of three factors used to measure the sustainability and social impact of companies like Acuity Brands.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Total ESG risk: 30.8
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Acuity Brands's overall score of 30.8 (as at 01/01/2019) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 48th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Acuity Brands 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: 14.55/100
Acuity Brands's environmental score of 14.55 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Acuity Brands is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 18.2/100
Acuity Brands's social score of 18.2 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Acuity Brands is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 13.56/100
Acuity Brands's governance score puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Acuity Brands is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Acuity Brands scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Acuity Brands has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 3.76% of net profits
Recently Acuity Brands has paid out, on average, around 3.76% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.34% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Acuity Brands shareholders could enjoy a 0.34% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Acuity Brands's case, that would currently equate to about $0.52 per share.
While Acuity Brands's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Acuity Brands is investing more in its future growth.
Acuity Brands's most recent dividend payout was on 1 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 April 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Acuity Brands's shares were split on 2 May 2008.
Over the last 12 months, Acuity Brands's shares have ranged in value from as little as $142.2722 up to $202.7342. 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 Acuity Brands's is 1.5679. This would suggest that Acuity Brands's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
