    (β) BETA is a numeric value that measures the fluctuations of a stock to changes in the overall stock market.

    BETA measures the responsiveness of a stock’s price to changes in the overall stock market. BETA helps the investor to decide whether he wants to go for the riskier stock that is highly correlated with the market (beta above 1), or with a less volatile one (beta below 1)

    • Beta is calculated using regression analysis, and beta is the tendency of a security’s returns to respond to swings in the market.
    • A beta of 1 indicates that the security’s price will move with the market.
    • A beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market.
    • A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security’s price will be more volatile than the market.
    • For example, if a stock’s beta is 1.2, it’s theoretically 20% more volatile than the market.
