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 Diageo.
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: 14.15
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Diageo's overall score of 14.15 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Diageo 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: 0.95/100
Social score: 2.78/100
Governance score: 5.42/100
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Diageo scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Diageo hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 48.84% of net profits
Recently Diageo has paid out, on average, around 48.84% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.32% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Diageo shareholders could enjoy a 2.32% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Diageo's case, that would currently equate to about 0.776p per share.
While Diageo's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Diageo may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 2 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Diageo's shares were split on a 864:1000 basis on 2 February 1998. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 864 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Diageo shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 15.7% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Diageo shares which in turn could have impacted Diageo's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Diageo's shares have ranged in value from as little as 3326.5p up to 3902.5226p. 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 (LSE average) beta is 1, while Diageo's is 0.3551. This would suggest that Diageo's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
