Eli Lilly'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 Eli Lilly.

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

Eli Lilly's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 32.36

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Eli Lilly's overall score of 32.36 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 70th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Eli Lilly 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.).

Eli Lilly's environmental score

Environmental score: 0.63/100

Eli Lilly's environmental score of 0.63 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Eli Lilly is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Eli Lilly's social score

Social score: 16.68/100

Eli Lilly's social score of 16.68 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Eli Lilly is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Eli Lilly's governance score

Governance score: 13.31/100

Eli Lilly's governance score puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Eli Lilly is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Eli Lilly's controversy score

Controversy score: 3/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Eli Lilly scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Eli Lilly hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.

Eli Lilly share dividends

61%

Dividend payout ratio: 60.81% of net profits

Recently Eli Lilly has paid out, on average, around 60.81% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.06% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Eli Lilly shareholders could enjoy a 1.06% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Eli Lilly's case, that would currently equate to about $4.07 per share.

Eli Lilly'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.

Eli Lilly's most recent dividend payout was on 9 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 12 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Eli Lilly's shares ever split?

Eli Lilly's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 16 October 1997. 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 Eli Lilly shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Eli Lilly shares which in turn could have impacted Eli Lilly's share price.

Eli Lilly share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Eli Lilly's shares have ranged in value from as little as $279.8033 up to $454.95. 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 Eli Lilly's is 0.367. This would suggest that Eli Lilly's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
