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 Hologic.
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: 28.6
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Hologic's overall score of 28.6 (as at 01/01/2019) is nothing to write home about – landing it in it in the 58th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Hologic 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: 2.95/100
Hologic's environmental score of 2.95 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Hologic is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 11.28/100
Hologic's social score of 11.28 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Hologic is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 8.88/100
Hologic's governance score puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Hologic is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Hologic scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Hologic has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
We're not expecting Hologic to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Hologic's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 April 2008. 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 Hologic shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hologic shares which in turn could have impacted Hologic's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Hologic's shares have ranged in value from as little as $59.78 up to $87.88. 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 (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Hologic's is 1.0049. This would suggest that Hologic'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).
