Beta (Five Year Monthly) |
A measurement of the sensitivity of a company's stock price to the overall fluctuation in the S&P 500 (S&P 500), or for Canadian listings, the Toronto Stock Exchange 300 Index. For example, a beta of 1.5 indicates that a company's stock price tends to rise (or fall) 1.5 percent, with a 1 percent rise (or fall) in the index price. Beta is calculated using the prior 60 months of total returns vs. 60 months of returns for the S&P 500 index (or the TSE 300 for Canadian listings), adjusted for dividends. A minimum of 36 months of trading data is required before a beta is calculated. Beta is updated on a monthly basis.
