Beta is a measure of a stock's volatility. The price of a stock with a beta of 1.0 rises and falls on average with the overall market. A beta greater than 1.0 could mean larger prices fluctuations, and a beta of less than 1.0 indicates a more tame stock. For example, if Company A has a beta of 1.2 and the market goes up 10% in a given period of time then Company A should increase about 12% in value. If the market falls 20% then Company A's stock price should drop 24%.

Beta measures the volatility of a stock in relation to the overall market. A beta of 1 indicates that the stock moves with the market, a beta greater than 1 suggests the stock is more volatile than the market, and a beta less than 1 indicates the stock is less volatile than the market. Traders and investors use beta to assess the risk of a stock in comparison to the market.
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.
