Report
A stock with a beta of 1.5 has an expected rate of return of 20%. If the market return this year turns out to be 11 percentage points below expectations, what is your best guess as to the rate of return on the stock? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 1 decimal place. Stock return 3.50 |% I Explanation Beta tells us how sensitive the stock return is to changes in market performance. The market return was 13% less than your prior expectation. Therefore, the stock would be expected to fall short of your original expectation by: 1.5 x 11% =16.5% The “updated” expectation for the stock return is 20% - 16.5% = 3.5%.
