Benchmark Metrics

  • This stock tended to rise when S&P 500 Index fell (downside capture of -7.68%), but participation in market rallies was also limited (-3.98%) — a profile typical of counter-cyclical assets.
  • Beta of 0.18 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.01 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 0.01 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.
