I use Beta-based expected return to calculate and understand potential capital appreciate (or cash flow) from a given stock.
In today’s post, I am discussing the concept of stock’s beta value and how it helps us understand stocks expected returns.
What is Stock’s Beta Value?
In its simplistic form, beta is a measure of any individual stock’s risk (or movement) relative to the overall stock market risk (or movement). I measure Beta of any given stock relative to the S&P CNX NIFTY. Here, I am trying to understand how a stock price behaves relative to the market and how to factor in the capital appreciation into my expected returns.
