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 Alcoa.
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: 37.81
Socially conscious investors use ESG scores to screen how an investment aligns with their worldview, and Alcoa's overall score of 37.81 (as at 12/31/2018) is pretty weak – landing it in it in the 64th percentile of companies rated in the same sector.
ESG scores are increasingly used to estimate the level of risk a company like Alcoa 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: 24.32/100
Alcoa's environmental score of 24.32 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Alcoa is a leader in its sector terms of its environmental impact, and exposed to a lower level of risk.
Social score: 15.12/100
Alcoa's social score of 15.12 puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. This could suggest that Alcoa is a leader in its sector when it comes to taking good care of its workforce and the communities it impacts.
Governance score: 9.37/100
Alcoa's governance score puts it squarely in the 8th percentile of companies rated in the same sector. That could suggest that Alcoa is a leader in its sector when it comes to responsible management and strategy, and exposed to a lower level of risk.

Dividend payout ratio: 5.84% of net profits
Recently Alcoa 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), Alcoa shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Alcoa's case, that would currently equate to about $0.4 per share.
While Alcoa's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Alcoa is investing more in its future growth.
Alcoa's most recent dividend payout was on 14 November 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 28 October 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Alcoa's shares were split on a 1000:801 basis on 31 October 2016 . So if you had owned 801 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 1000 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Alcoa shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 19.9% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Alcoa shares which in turn could have impacted Alcoa's share price.
Over the last 12 months, Alcoa's shares have ranged in value from as little as $23.5221 up to $46.55. 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 Alcoa's is 2.419. This would suggest that Alcoa's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
