ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Scotts Miracle-Gro Company 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: 24.65/100
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's environmental score of 24.65 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 21.72/100
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's social score of 21.72 puts it squarely in the 7th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.

Dividend payout ratio: 117.86% of net profits
Recently Scotts Miracle-Gro Company 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), Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's case, that would currently equate to about $2.64 per share.
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company'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.
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's most recent dividend payout was on 5 December 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 21 November 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 9 November 2005 . 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 Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Scotts Miracle-Gro Company shares which in turn could have impacted Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares have ranged in value from as little as $51.796 up to $93.9. 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 Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's is 1.74. This would suggest that Scotts Miracle-Gro Company's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
