Benchmark Metrics
Smiths Group PLC has an annualized alpha of 5.13%, beta of 0.48, and R² of 0.12 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since June 20, 1989.
- This stock participated in 58.16% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 56.37% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
- Beta of 0.48 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.12 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 0.12 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.
