Public Storage'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 Public Storage.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Public Storage's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 19.51
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Public Storage's overall score of 19.51 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 14th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Public Storage 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.).
Public Storage's environmental score
Environmental score: 4.67/100
Public Storage's environmental score of 4.67 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Public Storage is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Public Storage's social score
Social score: 6.44/100
Public Storage's social score of 6.44 puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Public Storage is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Public Storage's governance score
Governance score: 5.4/100
Public Storage's governance score puts it squarely in the 2nd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Public Storage is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Public Storage's controversy score
Controversy score: 1/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Public Storage scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Public Storage has managed to keep its nose clean.
Public Storage share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 87.49% of net profits
Recently Public Storage has paid out, on average, around 87.49% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Public Storage shareholders could enjoy a 4.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Public Storage's case, that would currently equate to about $9 per share.
Public Storage'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.
Public Storage's most recent dividend payout was on 29 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 13 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Public Storage share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Public Storage's shares have ranged in value from as little as $266.1476 up to $349.0171. 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 Public Storage's is 0.4423. This would suggest that Public Storage's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
