Sysco Corporation'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 Sysco Corporation.
When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.
Sysco Corporation's total ESG risk score
Total ESG risk: 18.21
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Sysco Corporation's overall score of 18.21 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Sysco 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.).
Sysco Corporation's environmental score
Environmental score: 5.17/100
Sysco Corporation's environmental score of 5.17 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Sysco Corporation is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Sysco Corporation's social score
Social score: 7.58/100
Sysco Corporation's social score of 7.58 puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Sysco Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Sysco Corporation's governance score
Governance score: 7.95/100
Sysco Corporation's governance score puts it squarely in the 6th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Sysco Corporation is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Sysco Corporation's controversy score
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Sysco Corporation scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Sysco Corporation has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Sysco Corporation share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 51.31% of net profits
Recently Sysco Corporation has paid out, on average, around 51.31% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.82% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Sysco Corporation shareholders could enjoy a 2.82% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Sysco Corporation's case, that would currently equate to about $1.96 per share.
Sysco 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.
Sysco Corporation's most recent dividend payout was on 28 July 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 6 July 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Have Sysco Corporation's shares ever split?
Sysco Corporation's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 18 December 2000. 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 Sysco Corporation shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Sysco Corporation shares which in turn could have impacted Sysco Corporation's share price.
Sysco Corporation share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Sysco Corporation's shares have ranged in value from as little as $69.2641 up to $87.1467. 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 Sysco Corporation's is 1.0975. This would suggest that Sysco Corporation'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).
