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 Gap.
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: 10.38
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Gap's overall score of 10.38 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Gap 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: 1.61/100
Gap's environmental score of 1.61 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Gap is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 3.58/100
Gap's social score of 3.58 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Gap is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 2.19/100
Gap's governance score puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Gap is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 3/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Gap scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that Gap hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
We're not expecting Gap to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Gap's shares were split on a 3:2 basis on 22 June 1999. So if you had owned 2 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 3 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Gap shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 33.3% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Gap shares which in turn could have impacted Gap's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Gap's shares have ranged in value from as little as $7.22 up to $15.2628. 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 Gap's is 1.8923. This would suggest that Gap's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
