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 Lowes Companies.
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: 15.11
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Lowes Companies's overall score of 15.11 (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 Lowes Companies 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: 5.83/100
Lowes Companies's environmental score of 5.83 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Lowes Companies is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 6.43/100
Lowes Companies's social score of 6.43 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Lowes Companies is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 3.36/100
Lowes Companies's governance score puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Lowes Companies 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. Lowes Companies scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Lowes Companies has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 24.14% of net profits
Recently Lowes Companies has paid out, on average, around 24.14% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.09% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Lowes Companies shareholders could enjoy a 2.09% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Lowes Companies's case, that would currently equate to about $4.2 per share.
While Lowes Companies's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Lowes Companies is investing more in its future growth.
Lowes Companies's most recent dividend payout was on 10 May 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 25 April 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Lowes Companies's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 July 2006. 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 Lowes Companies shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Lowes Companies shares which in turn could have impacted Lowes Companies's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Lowes Companies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $166.5493 up to $222.199. 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 Lowes Companies's is 1.0739. This would suggest that Lowes Companies'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).
