We are hopeful that our endeavour will help you find an answer to your queries for beta value of stock or beta value of Indian companies or to be precise beta value of NSE stocks or beta value of Nifty stocks and you will also come to know about beta value calculation or beta value of a share and ofcourse we are also working on a beta value calculator which will help one get updated live beta value of companies. It is important that one follows the Beta value as it tells us the volatility of a stock in comparison with the prevailing index. The point is to note that Low-beta stocks make Nifty less volatile and viceversa is also true. Beta=1 means that stock is moving in correlation with the index and one can almost expect returns equivalent to the index movement. 

Defensives stocks like like pharma and FMCG generally have low beta value and is thus absorbing more volatility in the index by virtue of their inclusion. To put the same in more easier language one can say that a low-beta stock means the stock price is less sensitive to the market movement. Hindustan Unilever, for instance, has a beta of 0.56, while DLF is around 1.5 and that explains the high volatility in the latter’s stock price. The beta compares the sensitivity of a stock’s price movement with the broader index. Higher the beta, higher will be the volatility in the stock price, and hence, riskier the investments. Lesser the beta, lesser will be the volatility in the stock price, and hence, it will be safer to invest in that stock. Hindustan Unilever, NTPC, Bharti Airtel, Cipla, GAIL, ITC and Sun Pharma are among stocks whose weightage in the index have gone up during the year.

The beta value is a measure of a stock's volatility in relation to the overall market. It is a commonly used metric in finance to gauge the risk of an individual stock in comparison to the overall market. A beta value of 1 indicates that the stock's price will move with the market, a beta value less than 1 means it is less volatile than the market and a beta value greater than 1 indicates that the stock is more volatile than the market. A stock with a beta value of 1 has the same level of volatility as the overall market. For example, if the market increases by 10%, a stock with a beta value of 1 will also increase by 10%. A stock with a beta value greater than 1 is considered more volatile than the market, meaning that it is likely to see greater price movements than the overall market, both up and down. A stock with a beta value less than 1 is considered less volatile than the market, meaning that it is likely to see smaller price movements than the overall market. Beta value is an important factor to consider when evaluating the risk of a stock, it should be used in conjunction with other factors such as financial performance, industry trends, and management. High beta stocks tend to be more volatile and therefore more risky, but they also have the potential to generate higher returns. Low beta stocks tend to be less volatile and therefore less risky, but they also have the potential to generate lower returns.
