Corning Incorporated'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 Corning Incorporated.

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

Corning Incorporated's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 24.22

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Corning Incorporated's overall score of 24.22 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 24th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

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

Corning Incorporated's environmental score

Environmental score: 12.41/100

Corning Incorporated's environmental score of 12.41 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Corning Incorporated is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Corning Incorporated's social score

Social score: 9.2/100

Corning Incorporated's social score of 9.2 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Corning Incorporated is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Corning Incorporated's governance score

Governance score: 11.61/100

Corning Incorporated's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Corning Incorporated is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Corning Incorporated's controversy score

Controversy score: 2/5

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

Corning Incorporated share dividends

56%

Dividend payout ratio: 56.12% of net profits

Recently Corning Incorporated has paid out, on average, around 56.12% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 3.63% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Corning Incorporated shareholders could enjoy a 3.63% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Corning Incorporated's case, that would currently equate to about $1.09 per share.

Corning Incorporated'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.

Corning Incorporated's most recent dividend payout was on 29 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 30 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Corning Incorporated's shares ever split?

Corning Incorporated's shares were split on a 3:1 basis on 4 October 2000. So if you had owned 1 share 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 Corning Incorporated shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 66.7% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Corning Incorporated shares which in turn could have impacted Corning Incorporated's share price.

Corning Incorporated share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Corning Incorporated's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.2555 up to $36.4976. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

GLW.US volatility(beta: 1.06)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 Corning Incorporated's is 1.0633. This would suggest that Corning Incorporated's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
