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: 10.32
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Scentre Group's overall score of 10.32 (as at 12/31/2018) is excellent – landing it in it in the 4th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Scentre Group 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: 2.72/100
Scentre Group's environmental score of 2.72 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Scentre Group is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 2.77/100
Scentre Group's social score of 2.77 puts it squarely in the 3rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Scentre Group is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 201.46% of net profits
Recently Scentre Group has paid out, on average, around 201.46% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 4.62% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Scentre Group shareholders could enjoy a 4.62% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Scentre Group's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.17 per share.
Scentre Group'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.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 14 August 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Scentre Group's shares have ranged in value from as little as $2.2479 up to $3.88. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Scentre Group's is 1.58. This would suggest that Scentre Group's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
