Discovery'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 Discovery.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Discovery's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 23.16
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Discovery's overall score of 23.16 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 21st percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Discovery 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.).
Discovery's environmental score
Environmental score: 5.16/100
Discovery's environmental score of 5.16 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Discovery is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Discovery's social score
Social score: 15.63/100
Discovery's social score of 15.63 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Discovery is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Discovery's governance score
Governance score: 13.37/100
Discovery's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Discovery is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Discovery's controversy score
Controversy score: 1/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Discovery scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Discovery has managed to keep its nose clean.
Discovery share dividends
We're not expecting Discovery to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Discovery's shares ever split?
Discovery's shares were split on a 1957:1000 basis on 7 August 2014. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1957 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Discovery shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 48.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Discovery shares which in turn could have impacted Discovery's share price.
Discovery share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Discovery's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0 up to $0. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Discovery's is 1.127. This would suggest that Discovery'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).
