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 Wheaton Precious Metals.
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: 14.53
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Wheaton Precious Metals's overall score of 14.53 (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 Wheaton Precious Metals 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: 3.64/100
Social score: 2.41/100
Governance score: 3.48/100
Controversy score: 2/5
ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Wheaton Precious Metals scored a 2 out of 5 for controversy – the second-highest score possible, reflecting that Wheaton Precious Metals has, for the most part, managed to keep its nose clean.
Dividend payout ratio: 60% of net profits
Recently Wheaton Precious Metals has paid out, on average, around 60% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.25% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Wheaton Precious Metals shareholders could enjoy a 1.25% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Wheaton Precious Metals's case, that would currently equate to about $0.6 per share.
Wheaton Precious Metals'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.
Wheaton Precious Metals's most recent dividend payout was on 2 June 2023. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 18 May 2023 (the "ex-dividend date").
Wheaton Precious Metals's shares were split on a 1:5 basis on 21 December 2004. So if you had owned 5 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1 share. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Wheaton Precious Metals shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 400% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Wheaton Precious Metals shares which in turn could have impacted Wheaton Precious Metals's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Wheaton Precious Metals's shares have ranged in value from as little as $28.3228 up to $52.5993. 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 Wheaton Precious Metals's is 0.4457. This would suggest that Wheaton Precious Metals's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
