ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Service Corporation International 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.).
Service Corporation International's environmental score
Environmental score: 2.67/100
Service Corporation International's environmental score of 2.67 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Service Corporation International is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Service Corporation International's social score
Social score: 12.87/100
Service Corporation International's social score of 12.87 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

Service Corporation International share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 31.45% of net profits
Recently Service Corporation International has paid out, on average, around 31.45% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.69% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Service Corporation International shareholders could enjoy a 1.69% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Service Corporation International's case, that would currently equate to about $1.04 per share.
While Service Corporation International's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that Service Corporation International may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Service Corporation International's most recent dividend payout was on 30 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 June 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Service Corporation International's shares ever split?
Service Corporation International's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 3 September 1996. 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 Service Corporation International shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Service Corporation International shares which in turn could have impacted Service Corporation International's share price.
Service Corporation International share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Service Corporation International's shares have ranged in value from as little as $56.3894 up to $74.3438. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
