In mathematical terms, beta represents the slope of the line through a regression of data points where each of these points represents Ball stock's returns against your selected market. In other words, Ball's beta of 0.37 provides an investor with an approximation of how much risk Ball stock can potentially add to one of your existing portfolios. Ball Corporation exhibits very low volatility with skewness of -1.71 and kurtosis of 6.14. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Ball's stock risk against market volatility during both bullish and bearish trends.

Ball Stock Volatility Analysis

Volatility refers to the frequency at which Ball stock price increases or decreases within a specified period. These fluctuations usually indicate the level of risk that's associated with Ball's price changes. Investors will then calculate the volatility of Ball's stock to predict their future moves. A stock that has erratic price changes quickly hits new highs, and lows are considered highly volatile. A stock with relatively stable price changes has low volatility. A highly volatile stock is riskier, but the risk cuts both ways. Investing in highly volatile security can either be highly successful, or you may experience significant failure. There are two main types of Ball's volatility:

Historical Volatility

This type of stock volatility measures Ball's fluctuations based on previous trends. It's commonly used to predict Ball's future behavior based on its past. However, it cannot conclusively determine the future direction of the stock.

Implied Volatility

This type of volatility provides a positive outlook on future price fluctuations for Ball's current market price. This means that the stock will return to its initially predicted market price. This type of volatility can be derived from derivative instruments written on Ball's to be redeemed at a future date.
Transformation
The output start index for this execution was zero with a total number of output elements of sixty-one. Ball Average Price is the average of the sum of open, high, low and close daily prices of a bar. It can be used to smooth an indicator that normally takes just the closing price as input.

Ball Projected Return Density Against Market

Given the investment horizon of 90 days Ball has a beta of 0.371 suggesting as returns on the market go up, Ball average returns are expected to increase less than the benchmark. However, during the bear market, the loss on holding Ball Corporation will be expected to be much smaller as well.
Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Ball or Containers & Packaging sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Ball's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Ball stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
Ball Corporation has a negative alpha, implying that the risk taken by holding this instrument is not justified. The company is significantly underperforming the Dow Jones Industrial.

Ball's volatility is measured either by using standard deviation or beta. Standard deviation will reflect the average amount of how ball stock's price will differ from the mean after some time.To get its calculation, you should first determine the mean price during the specified period then subtract that from each price point.

What Drives a Ball Price Volatility?

Several factors can influence a stock's market volatility:

Industry

Specific events can influence volatility within a particular industry. For instance, a significant weather upheaval in a crucial oil-production site may cause oil prices to increase in the oil sector. The direct result will be the rise in the stock price of oil distribution companies. Similarly, any government regulation in a specific industry could negatively influence stock prices due to increased regulations on compliance that may impact the company's future earnings and growth.

Political and Economic environment

When governments make significant decisions regarding trade agreements, policies, and legislation regarding specific industries, they will influence stock prices. Everything from speeches to elections may influence investors, who can directly influence the stock prices in any particular industry. The prevailing economic situation also plays a significant role in stock prices. When the economy is doing well, investors will have a positive reaction and hence, better stock prices and vice versa.

The Company's Performance

Sometimes volatility will only affect an individual company. For example, a revolutionary product launch or strong earnings report may attract many investors to purchase the company. This positive attention will raise the company's stock price. In contrast, product recalls and data breaches may negatively influence a company's stock prices.

About Ball Volatility

It is measured by calculating the standard deviation of the annualized returns over a given period of time and shows the range to which the price of Ball may increase or decrease. In other words, similar to Ball's beta indicator, it measures the risk of Ball and helps estimate the fluctuations that may happen in a short period of time. So if prices of Ball fluctuate rapidly in a short time span, it is termed to have high volatility, and if it swings slowly in a more extended period, it is understood to have low volatility.

Ball Suggested Diversification Pairs

Pair trading is one of the very effective strategies used by professional day traders and hedge funds capitalizing on short-time and mid-term market inefficiencies. The approach is based on the fact that the ratio of prices of two correlating shares is long-term stable and oscillates around the average value. If the correlation ratio comes outside the common area, you can speculate with a high success rate that the ratio will return to the mean value and collect a profit.
The effect of pair diversification on risk is to reduce it, but we should note this doesn't apply to all risk types. When we trade pairs against Ball as a counterpart, there is always some inherent risk that will never be diversified away no matter what. This volatility limits the effect of tactical diversification using pair trading. Ball's systematic risk is the inherent uncertainty of the entire market, and therefore cannot be mitigated even by pair-trading it against the equity that is not highly correlated to it. On the other hand, Ball's unsystematic risk describes the types of risk that we can protect against, at least to some degree, by selecting a matching pair that is not perfectly correlated to Ball Corporation.

The market value of Ball is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Ball that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Ball's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Ball's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Ball's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Ball's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Ball's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Ball is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Ball's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
