7. How do you practically calculate
‘BETA’

8. Estimating the cost of equity – beta overview
What is Beta?  A measure of how much a company’s stock moves with the market
 Beta is a result of comparison to a “market” return. Make sure you
understand which market comparison it is based upon (e.g. local vs. global)
Why is Beta
important?
 Beta is a measure of investment risk that helps us to estimate the returns
required for an equity investment
 It helps us to define the non-diversifiable “risk” of a security
How to
calculate Beta
 Beta is estimated by regressing a company’s stock returns against an index

9. Estimating the cost of equity – beta calculation
http://www.edureka.co/financial-modeling
 Raw regressions should use at least 60 data points (e.g., five years of monthly returns). Rolling
betas should be graphed to examine any systematic changes in a stock’s risk.
 Raw regressions should be based on monthly returns. Using shorter return periods, such as daily
and weekly returns, leads to systematic biases.
 Company stock returns should be regressed against a value weighted, well-diversified portfolio,
such as the S&P 500 or MSI World Index.
