BlackRock's environmental, social and governance track record

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 BlackRock.

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

BlackRock's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 22.4

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and BlackRock's overall score of 22.4 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 34th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like BlackRock 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.).

BlackRock's environmental score

Environmental score: 1.97/100

BlackRock's environmental score of 1.97 puts it squarely in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that BlackRock is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

BlackRock's social score

Social score: 10.38/100

BlackRock's social score of 10.38 puts it squarely in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that BlackRock is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

BlackRock's governance score

Governance score: 12.06/100

BlackRock's governance score puts it squarely in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that BlackRock is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

BlackRock's controversy score

Controversy score: 2/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. BlackRock scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that BlackRock has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

BlackRock share dividends

59%

Dividend payout ratio: 58.51% of net profits

Recently BlackRock has paid out, on average, around 58.51% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.99% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), BlackRock shareholders could enjoy a 2.99% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BlackRock's case, that would currently equate to about $19.64 per share.

BlackRock'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.

BlackRock's most recent dividend payout was on 23 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 7 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have BlackRock's shares ever split?

BlackRock's shares were split on 5 June 2007.

BlackRock share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, BlackRock's shares have ranged in value from as little as $496.0853 up to $776.1477. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

BLK.US volatility(beta: 1.29)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while BlackRock's is 1.2892. This would suggest that BlackRock's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
