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 General Electric Company.
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: 48.86
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and General Electric Company's overall score of 48.86 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 97th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like General Electric Company 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: 16.69/100
General Electric Company's environmental score of 16.69 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that General Electric Company is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 22.75/100
General Electric Company's social score of 22.75 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that General Electric Company is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 16.42/100
General Electric Company's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that General Electric Company 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. General Electric Company scored a 3 out of 5 for controversy – a middle-of-the-table result reflecting that General Electric Company hasn't always managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 10.24% of net profits
Recently General Electric Company has paid out, on average, around 10.24% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0.36% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), General Electric Company shareholders could enjoy a 0.36% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In General Electric Company's case, that would currently equate to about $0.32 per share.
While General Electric Company's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that General Electric Company is investing more in its future growth.
General Electric Company's most recent dividend payout was on 25 April 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 March 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
General Electric Company's shares were split on a 1281:1000 basis on 4 January 2023. So if you had owned 1000 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1281 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your General Electric Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 21.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for General Electric Company shares which in turn could have impacted General Electric Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, General Electric Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $46.6196 up to $94.94. 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 General Electric Company's is 1.1898. This would suggest that General Electric Company's shares are a little bit more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a slightly higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
