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 Canadian Pacific Railway.
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: 20.55
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Canadian Pacific Railway's overall score of 20.55 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 17th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Canadian Pacific Railway 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: 11.41/100
Canadian Pacific Railway's environmental score of 11.41 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Canadian Pacific Railway is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 12.93/100
Canadian Pacific Railway's social score of 12.93 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Canadian Pacific Railway is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 7.72/100
Canadian Pacific Railway's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Canadian Pacific Railway 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. Canadian Pacific Railway scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Canadian Pacific Railway has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 14.3% of net profits
Recently Canadian Pacific Railway has paid out, on average, around 14.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.73% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Canadian Pacific Railway shareholders could enjoy a 0.73% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Canadian Pacific Railway's case, that would currently equate to about $0.76 per share.
While Canadian Pacific Railway's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Canadian Pacific Railway is investing more in its future growth.
Canadian Pacific Railway's most recent dividend payout was on 31 July 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Canadian Pacific Railway's shares were split on a 5:1 basis on 14 May 2021. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 5 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Canadian Pacific Railway shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 80% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Canadian Pacific Railway shares which in turn could have impacted Canadian Pacific Railway's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Canadian Pacific Railway's shares have ranged in value from as little as $64.9269 up to $83.45. 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 Canadian Pacific Railway's is 0.8329. This would suggest that Canadian Pacific Railway's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
