- This stock participates in less of S&P 500 Index's moves in both directions, but captures a larger share of gains (65.26%) than losses (44.74%) - typical of diversified or defensive assets.
- Beta of 0.64 may look defensive, but with R2 of 0.13 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 0.13 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.
