Benchmark Metrics

CMS Energy Corporation has an annualized alpha of 0.99%, beta of 0.32, and R² of 0.16 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 02, 2018.

  • This stock participated in 50.14% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 35.07% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.32 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.16 this stock is largely uncorrelated with S&P 500 Index — low beta reflects independence, not downside protection. See the Volatility section for a true picture of this stock's risk.
  • R² of 0.16 means this stock moves largely independently of S&P 500 Index — capture ratios reflect limited market correlation rather than active downside protection. Consider using a more representative benchmark.
