Benchmark fit

CCK sensitivity to SPY

The benchmark relationship is weak and explains 5% of weekly movement over the latest year. Current beta is 0.42 and is falling.

Likely beta range-0.11 to 0.95

A wider range means the beta estimate is less precise.

Beta stability85/100

How consistently rolling beta has held its level and direction.

Annualised alpha+12.9%

The weekly regression intercept annualised; it is historical, not expected return.

Tracking error24.4%

Annualised volatility of returns above or below the benchmark.

Relationship directionRelationship broadly stable

-3.8 point change in movement explained across two distinct 26-week windows.

The benchmark fit is too weak for the headline beta to be treated as a dependable description on its own.

Relative strength

CCK relative strength against SPY

The score compares the stock/benchmark ratio with its trailing 52-week average. Above zero means the ratio is above trend; direction shows whether that advantage is building or fading.

Return components

13-week and 52-week returns relative to SPY

Broad market+3.0%
Sector difference+0.6%
Industry difference+16.2%
Ticker difference+3.8%

Pressure and timing

Drawdowns and lead/lag relationship

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

Observable signals

Signals that would confirm or change the reading

These are conditions to monitor, not price targets or forecasts.

Relative strengthAbove the zero baseline

A fall through zero would show that the stock/benchmark ratio has moved below its trailing one-year average.

Up/down beta-0.28 upside-minus-downside gap

Downside beta is higher than upside beta. A narrowing gap would be the first sign of better asymmetry.

Exposure trendBeta is falling

Rising beta means broad-market moves are carrying more weight; falling beta means ticker-specific forces are carrying more weight.

Peer confirmation+3.8 points versus Packaging & Containers over 13 weeks

Strength shared by the peer group is broader; strength confined to the ticker is more company-specific and usually less stable.
