Benchmark Metrics

Vodafone Group PLC has an annualized alpha of 3.55%, beta of 0.40, and R² of 0.09 versus S&P 500 Index. Calculated based on daily prices since October 26, 1988.

  • This stock participated in 51.75% of S&P 500 Index downside but only 43.08% of its upside — more exposed to losses than it benefited from rallies.
  • Beta of 0.40 may look defensive, but with R² of 0.09 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.
