Beta Coefficient
The formula to calculate the Beta coefficient is:
Beta (β) = Covariance (Ri, Rm) / Variance (Rm)
Where:
- Ri = a stock's return
- Rm = overall market's return
- Covariance = ups & downs of stock returns versus ups & downs of market returns
- Variance = the difference between market returns and its average
Generally, Beta values are of four types:
- Beta < 1.0: stock less volatile than the market
- Beta = 1.0: stock just as volatile as the market
- Beta > 1.0: stock more volatile than the market
- Negative Beta: stock shares inverse relation with the market
