Benchmark Metrics
National Grid plc has an annualized alpha of 5.96%, beta of 0.59, and R2 of 0.23 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since January 02, 2001.
- This stock participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (61.34%) than losses (50.21%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.59 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.23 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 0.23 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.
