  1. Beta • The beta is a measure of a stock’s price volatility in relation to the rest of the market. In other words, how does the stock’s price move relative to the overall market. • Example: DNB • .67 • Less than 1 means that the risk is lower than the market average

  2. Beta • Stocks that have a beta greater than 1 have greater price volatility than the overall market and are more risky. • Stocks with a beta of 1 fluctuate in price at the same rate as the market. • Stocks with a beta of less than 1 have less price volatility than the market and are less risky

  3. Beta - Risk • Risk also implies return. Stocks with a high beta should have a higher return than the market. If you are accepting more risk, you should expect more reward. • Investors can find the best use of the beta ratio in short-term decision-making, where price volatility is important. If you are planning to buy and sell within a short period, beta is a good measure of risk.
