Benchmark Metrics
Rio Tinto PLC has an annualized alpha of 12.21%, beta of 0.66, and R² of 0.10 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 20, 1989.
- This stock participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (82.54%) than losses (70.13%) — typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.66 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.10 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 0.10 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.
