How to Analyse Beta-
A beta of 1 indicates that the stocks price tends to move with the market.
A beta greater than 1 indicates that the stock price is more volatile/risky than the market.
A beta of less than 1 means it tends to be less volatile/risky than the market.

Example-
Say a stock has a beta of 2. This means it is two times as volatile as the greater market.
Suppose the overall market goes up by 5%. That means this stock could rise by 10%.
Likewise, if the market declines by 10%, that stock could fall down by 20%

Beta levels-
A negative beta indicates that the stock moves in the opposite direction to the overall market. This mostly happens with gold stocks as gold is inversely related to equity.
Beta of 0 means regardless of market movement, the stock value remains unchanged.

Beta between 0 - 1 means that the stock is less volatile/risky than the overall market. Utility stocks generally have beta between 0-1
Beta of 1 means the stock has the same movement as the index/market. So suppose nifty moves up by 1%, this stock will also go up by 1%

Disadvantage of using beta-
• It only shows the historical pattern of the stock with respect to the indices. So it doesn’t take into account what can happen in the future.
• It represents systematic risk that can’t be diversified away.
