KeyCorp's environmental, social and governance track record

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

KeyCorp's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 24.92

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and KeyCorp's overall score of 24.92 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty good – landing it in it in the 38th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

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

KeyCorp's environmental score

Environmental score: 0.82/100

KeyCorp's environmental score of 0.82 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that KeyCorp is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

KeyCorp's social score

Social score: 11.03/100

KeyCorp's social score of 11.03 puts it squarely in the 1st percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that KeyCorp is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

KeyCorp stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 80.39% of net profits

Recently KeyCorp has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), KeyCorp shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In KeyCorp's case, that would currently equate to about $0.82 per share.

KeyCorp'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.

KeyCorp's most recent dividend payout was on 12 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 2 December 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have KeyCorp's stocks ever split?

KeyCorp's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 8 March 1998 . 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 KeyCorp stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for KeyCorp stocks, which in turn could have impacted KeyCorp's stock price.

KeyCorp stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, KeyCorp's stocks have ranged in value from as little as $12.2878 up to $19.8245. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta."

Beta is a measure of a stocks volatility in relation to the market. The market (NYSE average) beta is 1, while KeyCorp's is 1.231. This would suggest that KeyCorp's stocks 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).
