Stocks and the market are fundamentally linked through the concept of beta, which measures a stock's volatility and sensitivity relative to the broader market movements as described in [1], [2], and [3]. This relationship is further quantified by the beta formula in [4], which uses the returns of both the individual stock and the market to determine their correlation.

claimBeta values indicate the volatility of a stock relative to the overall market; a stock with a beta of 1.8 is more volatile than a stock with a beta of 0.6, meaning the former will experience larger price swings when the market declines.
formulaBeta (β) is calculated using the formula: β = Cov(Ri, Rm) / Var(Rm), where Ri is the return of the individual stock, Rm is the return of the market, Cov(Ri, Rm) is the covariance between the stock and market returns, and Var(Rm) is the variance of the market returns.
claimBeta reflects a stock's relative risk compared to the overall market.
claimBeta (β) is a financial measure that assesses a stock’s sensitivity to market movements by quantifying how much a stock’s return is expected to change in response to fluctuations in the broader market.
