Onex'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 Onex.

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

Onex's total ESG risk score

Total ESG risk: 39.2

Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Onex's overall score of 39.2 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 73rd percentile of companies rated in the same sector.

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

Onex's environmental score

Environmental score: 8.4/100

Onex's environmental score of 8.4 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Onex is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Onex's social score

Social score: 19.55/100

Onex's social score of 19.55 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Onex is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Onex's governance score

Governance score: 19.25/100

Onex's governance score puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Onex is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Onex's controversy score

Controversy score: 1/5

ESG scores also evaluate any incidences of controversy that a company has been involved in. Onex scored a 1 out of 5 for controversy – the highest score possible, reflecting that Onex has managed to keep its nose clean.

Onex stock dividends

Dividend payout ratio: 3.89% of net profits

Recently Onex has paid out, on average, around 0% 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), Onex shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Onex's case, that would currently equate to about C$0.303 per share.

While Onex's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Onex is investing more in its future growth.

Onex's most recent dividend payout was on 30 January 2025. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their stocks by 9 January 2025 (the "ex-dividend date").

Have Onex's stocks ever split?

Onex's stocks were split on a 2:1 basis on 29 May 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 Onex stocks – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower stock price could have impacted the market appetite for Onex stocks, which in turn could have impacted Onex's stock price.

Onex stock price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Onex's stocks have ranged in value from as little as C$85.2734 up to C$118.91. 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 (TO average) beta is 1, while Onex's is 1.522. This would suggest that Onex's stocks are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
