Beta research
Beta and portfolio risk
Beta combines the strength of the benchmark relationship with the stock’s relative volatility. Separating them shows whether a low beta comes from smaller moves or a weak connection to the market.
The components of beta
Correlation0.391with QQQ
×Relative volatility8.17MXL ÷ QQQ
≈Beta3.19market sensitivity
Both the correlation and the size of the stock’s moves contribute to its beta. Check whether each holds across different periods.
All three readings use the same 52 weeks. Displayed values are rounded. This is the weekly regression identity, not the paper’s beta estimator.

7.94% less volatility · 11.90 percentage points
Removing the fitted QQQ exposure reduced measured fluctuations. The remaining variation is outside this single-benchmark fit.
Annualised, per unit of stock exposure. The same 52 weeks estimate and assess the fit. This is an in-sample illustration of a beta hedge, not a traded result; it excludes financing, dividends, fees and changes in beta.
Share of return variation
Variance shares add to 100%. Volatilities do not add.
Outside the fit includes other factors, company events and noise. It does not identify their causes or prove diversification against an investor’s actual holdings.
Further research
- Position size
- Volatility is 8.2× the benchmark’s. A low beta alone would be a poor reason to increase the position. Test the position against a total-risk budget.
- Hedge selection
- The historical fit is a starting point for hedge research, not a current hedge instruction. Compare the market, sector and industry, then test on later data using only estimates available at the time.
- Basket comparison
- Higher beta can help identify a comparison basket. It does not establish overvaluation or a reason to short; test the business case and borrowing costs.
Betting Against Beta · research context and method
Frazzini and Pedersen study a diversified long position in low-beta assets against a short position in high-beta assets, scaled to balance market exposure. Their explanation centres on investors’ borrowing constraints. Funding stress can hurt the strategy. The result does not establish an opportunity in this individual stock. Read the paper ↗
MEXA uses 52 weekly price returns against QQQ. The paper uses different estimation windows, return inputs and beta shrinkage. This page is not a BAB replication. A basket test would need a common benchmark, a universe known at each historical date, total returns and funding, turnover and short-borrow costs.
The beta breakdown also follows the distinction between correlation and volatility discussed in Betting Against Correlation ↗. These are research prompts, not buy, sell or leverage recommendations.
For an ordinary least-squares regression with an intercept, beta = correlation × stock volatility ÷ benchmark volatility. Residual volatility = stock volatility × √(1 − R²). We use population standard deviations multiplied by √52, consistent with the other MEXA readings. No residual return or alpha is assumed to persist.

Returns in different markets
In 22 falling benchmark weeks, the median stock return was -2.37%. The lowest was -21.49%.
The line spans the lowest to highest stock return; the shaded band contains the middle half, and the dark mark is the median. These are observed weekly returns, not forecast ranges. Weakest falling weeks are the ten lowest benchmark returns from the year, including ties, limited to falling weeks. Samples overlap.

Historical extremes
Historical comparisons
Distinct 13-week windows prevent one long move from filling the list with overlapping dates.
Largest unexplained moves
The six largest gaps between the stock’s actual weekly return and the fitted benchmark relationship over the latest year.
Positive bars are above the fitted return; negative bars are below it. The fit uses all 52 weeks, including the week being measured. These are historical model residuals, not forecast errors or evidence of an event’s cause. Select a date below to locate it on the price chart.

Drawdowns and timing
The strongest link is in the same week. Lead/lag evidence is treated as secondary because timing relationships can change quickly.

Weekly readings
Monitoring points
These are conditions to monitor, not price targets or forecasts.
A move through zero changes whether the stock/benchmark ratio is above or below its 52-week average. Check whether that change persists.
Compare the two estimates with their sample sizes, benchmark fit and actual returns in falling weeks. A positive gap alone does not show protection.
Check beta together with R². A change in sensitivity does not establish a change in the share of risk linked to the market.
Compare the stock with its sector and industry over the same period. Group strength and stock strength can move in different directions.

Weekly prices, benchmark comparisons and the rules behind the report.
Performance labels
The header compares one-year and 13-week price returns. These are historical comparisons, not investment ratings.
- Recent outperformance
- The 13-week return gap is positive while the one-year gap remains negative.
- Recent underperformance
- The 13-week return gap is negative while the one-year gap remains positive.
- High volatility
- Annualised volatility is at least 20% above the benchmark’s.
Benchmark grades
Grades describe the fitted relationship. The highest qualifying grade is used.
Scroll across for all columns →
| Grade | R² | Absolute correlation | Absolute beta t-statistic | Stability out of 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strong | 0.50 | 0.70 | 2.5 | 55 |
| Clear | 0.30 | 0.55 | 2.0 | — |
| Partial | 0.15 | 0.38 | — | — |
| Limited | Other usable readings that do not meet the grades above. | |||
A dash means no additional minimum. The absolute t-statistic measures the size of beta relative to its standard error; stability measures consistency in rolling beta. Published grades use whole-percentage screening values. These are MEXA conventions, not universal statistical cut-offs.
Data and calculations
- Price history
- Completed weekly observations from 2020-10-16 to 2026-10-02 · 312 aligned weeks.
- Current reading
- 52 weeks; rolling charts use 26 weeks.
- Relative strength
- Stock/benchmark ratio compared with its trailing 52-week average.
- Peer evidence
- At least 10 sector constituents and 5 industry constituents. Thin groups are excluded.
- Benchmark fit
- R² is the square of the return correlation in this single-benchmark regression. 0.25 means 25% of return variation. Correlation (r) runs from −1 to +1. Regression definition ↗
- Precision
- Decimal coefficients use the underlying observations. The ≈ sign marks a rounded reading; a bound such as <0.005 means more precision is unavailable.
Statistical limits
- Returns and alpha
- Price returns exclude dividends. Return gaps are percentage-point differences. Alpha annualises the regression intercept; it is not the stock’s realised outperformance or a forecast.
- Chart evidence
- New return charts require a complete year of aligned, positive weekly closes that reproduces the published reading. Missing weeks are not interpolated. Rolling beta uses 26 weeks; volatility uses 52.
- Beta interval
- The approximate interval uses the report’s ordinary least-squares estimate, with ±1.96 standard errors, assuming independent errors with constant variance. It is not a limit on future returns.
- Influential weeks
- Each week is omitted individually and compared with the full estimate. No observations are removed from the published assessment.
- Historical samples
- Market-state windows can overlap and use volatility bands from the available sample. These comparisons are descriptive, not independent trials or a trading backtest. A negative downside beta does not establish protection in a future market decline.
- Interpretation
- Historical relationship analysis, not a forecast or a statement of cause. Historical relationships can break without warning.
