Is VMware stock undervalued or overvalued?

VMware'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 VMware.

When it comes to ESG scores, lower is better, and lower scores are generally associated with lower risk for would-be investors.

VMware's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 20.86

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and VMware's overall score of 20.86 (as at 01/01/2019) is excellent – landing it in it in the 16th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like VMware 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.).

VMware's environmental score

Environmental score: 5.78/100

VMware's environmental score of 5.78 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that VMware is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

VMware's social score

Social score: 15.73/100

VMware's social score of 15.73 puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that VMware is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

VMware's governance score

Governance score: 11.86/100

VMware's governance score puts it squarely in the 9th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that VMware is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

VMware's controversy score

Controversy score: 2/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. VMware scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that VMware has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.

VMware share dividends

We're not expecting VMware to pay a dividend over the next 12 months.

VMware share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, VMware's shares have ranged in value from as little as $103.55 up to $134. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

VMW.US volatility(beta: 0.84)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while VMware's is 0.8353. This would suggest that VMware's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
