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 Hormel Foods Corporation.
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: 27
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Hormel Foods Corporation's overall score of 27 (as at 01/01/2019) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 39th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Hormel Foods Corporation 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: 12.54/100
Hormel Foods Corporation's environmental score of 12.54 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Hormel Foods Corporation is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 12.16/100
Hormel Foods Corporation's social score of 12.16 puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Hormel Foods Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 5.29/100
Hormel Foods Corporation's governance score puts it squarely in the 5th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Hormel Foods Corporation 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. Hormel Foods Corporation scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Hormel Foods Corporation has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 59.78% of net profits
Recently Hormel Foods Corporation has paid out, on average, around 59.78% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.83% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Hormel Foods Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.83% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Hormel Foods Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.055 per share.
Hormel Foods Corporation'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.
Hormel Foods Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 15 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Hormel Foods Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 10 February 2016. 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 Hormel Foods Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Hormel Foods Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Hormel Foods Corporation's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Hormel Foods Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $37.5163 up to $50.7439. 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 Hormel Foods Corporation's is 0.1633. This would suggest that Hormel Foods Corporation's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
