Duke Energy Corporation'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 Duke Energy Corporation.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Duke Energy Corporation's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 31.98
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Duke Energy Corporation's overall score of 31.98 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 69th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Duke Energy 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.).
Duke Energy Corporation's environmental score
Environmental score: 15.6/100
Duke Energy Corporation's environmental score of 15.6 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Duke Energy Corporation is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Duke Energy Corporation's social score
Social score: 13.72/100
Duke Energy Corporation's social score of 13.72 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Duke Energy Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Duke Energy Corporation's governance score
Governance score: 6.15/100
Duke Energy Corporation's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Duke Energy Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Duke Energy Corporation's controversy score
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Duke Energy Corporation scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Duke Energy Corporation hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Duke Energy Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 76.86% of net profits
Recently Duke Energy Corporation has paid out, on average, around 76.86% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.37% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Duke Energy Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 4.37% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Duke Energy Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $4 per share.
Duke Energy Corporation'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.
Duke Energy Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 10 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Duke Energy Corporation's shares ever split?
Duke Energy Corporation's shares were split on a 1:3 basis on 2 July 2012. So if you had owned 3 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 Duke Energy Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 200% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Duke Energy Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Duke Energy Corporation's share price.
Duke Energy Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Duke Energy Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $81.2293 up to $110.2356. 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 Duke Energy Corporation's is 0.4247. This would suggest that Duke Energy Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
