Illumina'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 Illumina.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Illumina's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 9.18
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Illumina's overall score of 9.18 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Illumina 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.).
Illumina's environmental score
Environmental score: 2.22/100
Illumina's environmental score of 2.22 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Illumina is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Illumina's social score
Social score: 2.6/100
Illumina's social score of 2.6 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Illumina is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Illumina's governance score
Governance score: 5.36/100
Illumina's governance score puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Illumina is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Illumina's controversy score
Controversy score: 1/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Illumina scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Illumina has managed to keep its nose clean.
Illumina share dividends
We're not expecting Illumina to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.
Have Illumina's shares ever split?
Illumina's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 23 September 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 Illumina shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Illumina shares which in turn could have impacted Illumina's share price.
Illumina share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Illumina's shares have ranged in value from as little as $173.45 up to $248.87. 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 Illumina's is 1.1777. This would suggest that Illumina'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).
