    The influence of a systematic risk like inflation on a stock by using the beta coefficient. The beta coefficient, ß, tells us the response of the stock's return to a systematic risk. Beta measured the responsiveness of a security's return to a specific risk factor, the return on the market portfolio. The magnitude of the beta describes how great an impact a systematic risk has on a stock's returns. A beta of +1 indicates that the stocks return rises and falls one for one with the systematic factor. Thus, every stock will have a beta associated with each of these systematic risks: an inflation beta, a GNP beta, and an interest-rate…

    The company’s stock price has reflected its struggling financial performance. The stock current 52 week range has been $2.10-$4.60, and beta of 1.09. The stock beta measures the volatility of the security in relation to the volatility of the benchmark market indice (which in this case is the overall financial market) that the stock is being compared to. Beta measures the part of the asset's statistical variance that cannot be removed by the diversification provided by the portfolio of many risky assets, because of the correlation of its returns with the returns of the other assets that are in the portfolio. Sprint’s stock Beta estimate Beta is calculated using regression analysis. A beta of 1 indicates that the security's price will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the security will be less volatile than the market. Sprint’s beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security's price will be more volatile than the market by 9%. However three of Sprint’s major competitors have signficantly better beta estimates; AT&T 0.58, Verizon 0.51 & Duetsche Telekom 0.71 (Average Industry Beta 0.60). When measured against the Industry, Sprint’s stock has more volatility and is more susceptible market forces. Conversely, most high-tech Nasdaq-based stocks have a beta of greater than 1, offering the possibility…
