Electronic Arts'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 Electronic Arts.

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

Electronic Arts's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 16.2

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Electronic Arts's overall score of 16.2 (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 Electronic Arts 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.).

Electronic Arts's environmental score

Environmental score: 5.63/100

Electronic Arts's environmental score of 5.63 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Electronic Arts is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Electronic Arts's social score

Social score: 11.75/100

Electronic Arts's social score of 11.75 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Electronic Arts is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Electronic Arts's governance score

Governance score: 11.32/100

Electronic Arts's governance score puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Electronic Arts is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Electronic Arts's controversy score

Controversy score: 2/5

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

Electronic Arts share dividends

12%

Dividend payout ratio: 12.3% of net profits

Recently Electronic Arts has paid out, on average, around 12.3% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.65% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Electronic Arts shareholders could enjoy a 0.65% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Electronic Arts's case, that would currently equate to about $0.74 per share.

While Electronic Arts's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Electronic Arts is investing more in its future growth.

Electronic Arts's most recent dividend payout was on 22 March 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 February 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Electronic Arts's shares ever split?

Electronic Arts's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 November 2003. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Electronic Arts shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Electronic Arts shares which in turn could have impacted Electronic Arts's share price.

Electronic Arts share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Electronic Arts's shares have ranged in value from as little as $108.53 up to $141.9337. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

EA.US volatility(beta: 0.85)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Electronic Arts's is 0.8544. This would suggest that Electronic Arts's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
