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 Cardinal Health.
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: 12.66
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Cardinal Health's overall score of 12.66 (as at 12/31/2018) is excellent – landing it in it in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Cardinal Health 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: 0.25/100
Social score: 5.84/100
Governance score: 1.08/100
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Cardinal Health scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Cardinal Health hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 37.43% of net profits
Recently Cardinal Health has paid out, on average, around 37.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.4% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Cardinal Health shareholders could enjoy a 2.4% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Cardinal Health's case, that would currently equate to about $1.983 per share.
While Cardinal Health's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Cardinal Health may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Cardinal Health's most recent dividend payout was on 14 July 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 29 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Cardinal Health's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 22 April 2001. 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 Cardinal Health shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Cardinal Health shares which in turn could have impacted Cardinal Health's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Cardinal Health's shares have ranged in value from as little as $48.2498 up to $87.03. 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 Cardinal Health's is 0.7569. This would suggest that Cardinal Health's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
