Beta (β) is a financial metric that measures the sensitivity and volatility of a stock’s price in relation to the overall market—most commonly represented by a stock index such as the S&P 500. Beta tells you how susceptible a stock’s price is to changes based on market movement
Why Beta value?
In our system, we prefer stocks that do not overreact to overall market movements. Ideally, we look for stocks with low sensitivity to the market—most commonly represented by the S&P 500—or with a beta value close to 1. Such stocks tend to behave more consistently and align better with our risk management strategy.
