Then, dig a little deeper into it and click on the Chart and Sustainability. Discuss what the performance for this stock has been like and what you think of it in terms of its investment potential (your educated opinion here- at least one paragraph each):

Company 1

Based on the chart, Amazon.com, Inc. The value of stocks has been increasing over time but in an unpredictable way as evident through the fluctuations on the stock price curve. In the future, the stock prices are likely to grow with less fluctuation due to good risk management strategy. This shows a higher investment potential for the company.

Based on the ESG rating score, Amazon.com, Inc. has a lower than average ESG rating score. This shows the company has less unmanaged risks related to environment, social factors or governance factors. The company is well managed against potential events that may affect the value of stock. The common stocks of the company is thus likely to be more stead with less likelihood of the company being impacted negatively by risks exposed on its business environment (Garz et al, 2018).

Company 2

Based on the chart, the company stocks have been increasing in value over time. This is represented by the upward movement of final stock price as shown in the over the time. In future, the company stocks are likely to continue increasing as the company diversifies its operations. This is an indication of high investment potential.

The company has a rating of 28 in the total ESG risk taking. The rating can be described as a low ESG risk score which shows there are very little risks unmanaged in the company. The common stocks of the company are therefore likely to maintain their value with less likelihood of being affected by risks exposed by to its business environment (Garz et al, 2018).

Company 3

Based on the chart, the stock price of the company has been declining over time as evident through the gradual downward movement of the curve. This is an indication of lower future prices as stock price curve declines. Based on the stock price trend, the company has a reduced investment potential.

The company did not upload the ESG rating data making it impossible to determine the level of risk management in the company. Presence of decline is an indication of presence of risks fluctuation on the stock price curve (Garz et al, 2018).
