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 Centene.
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: 28.72
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Centene's overall score of 28.72 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 36th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Centene 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: 5.14/100
Centene's environmental score of 5.14 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Centene is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 21.92/100
Centene's social score of 21.92 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Centene is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 10.66/100
Centene's governance score puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Centene 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. Centene scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Centene has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
We're not expecting Centene to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Centene's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 7 February 2019. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Centene shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Centene shares which in turn could have impacted Centene's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Centene's shares have ranged in value from as little as $61.34 up to $98.53. 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 Centene's is 0.5623. This would suggest that Centene's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
