How do you determine beta value?
The beta value of a stock measures its volatility relative to the overall market, typically represented by a benchmark index like the S&P 500. To calculate beta, you can use historical price data for both the stock and the market index, applying the formula: Beta = Covariance(Returns of the stock, Returns of the market) / Variance(Returns of the market). Alternatively, financial platforms and tools often provide beta values directly, reflecting the stock's historical performance over a specified period.
How do you Calculate Stock Beta in Excel?
You need to use the variance and covariance functions in Excel 1. Calculate the covariance of the stock returns with respect to an index 2. Calculate the variance of the index 3. Divide the first number by the second. See the related link for a spreadsheet
Why is beta the correct measure of a stock riskiness?
Beta measures a stock's volatility (the swings up and down in price). The market as a whole has a beta of 1.0, but each stock is determined a beta value from a history of it's stock movements. Riskiness equates to the stock losing value and high beta stocks are more prone to falling faster.
How can you measure volatility using beta?
You can use Beta to measure market volatility because of beta is the elasticity of a stock change as a result of a change in the market. That is, Beta of a sotck is found by comparing the senstivity of a stock's return to the fluctuations in the market.Beta is found by dividing the product of the covwariances of the stock and market retun by the variance of the market.The bench marks of betas are as followed:a risk free investment such as a Tbill (that is guaranteed a return) will have a beta of 0.A portfolio with risk equivalent to the market has a beta of 1.Given those two bench mark, you can gauge at the volatility of the stock/investment by comparing its beta with those two extremes.
What would make a firm's beta increase?
The beta of a firm's stock is dependent on the volatility of the stock relative to the overall market. So if the stock's volatility increased relative to the overall market, it's beta would increase as well.
