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 Dollar General Corporation.
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: 15.04
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Dollar General Corporation's overall score of 15.04 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 10th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Dollar General Corporation 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: 0.75/100
Social score: 3.99/100
Governance score: 0.79/100
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Dollar General Corporation scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Dollar General Corporation has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 21.11% of net profits
Recently Dollar General Corporation has paid out, on average, around 21.11% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.46% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Dollar General Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 1.46% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Dollar General Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $2.2 per share.
While Dollar General Corporation's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Dollar General Corporation is investing more in its future growth.
Dollar General Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 25 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Dollar General Corporation's shares were split on a 1:4 basis on 9 January 2020. So if you had owned 4 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Dollar General Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 300% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Dollar General Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Dollar General Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Dollar General Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $159.12 up to $260.2994. 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 Dollar General Corporation's is 0.3248. This would suggest that Dollar General Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
