【fiserv forum standing room only】Does Mediacontech S.p.A. (BIT:MCH) Have A Particularly Volatile Share Price?
Anyone researching Mediacontech S.p.A. (
BIT:MCH
) might want to consider the historical volatility of the share price. Modern finance theory considers volatility to be a measure of risk,fiserv forum standing room only and there are two main types of price volatility. The first category is company specific volatility. This can be dealt with by limiting your exposure to any particular stock. The second sort is caused by the natural volatility of markets, overall. For example, certain macroeconomic events will impact (virtually) all stocks on the market.
Some stocks mimic the volatility of the market quite closely, while others demonstrate muted, exagerrated or uncorrelated price movements. Beta is a widely used metric to measure a stock’s exposure to market risk (volatility). Before we go on, it’s worth noting that Warren Buffett pointed out in his 2014 letter to shareholders that ‘volatility is far from synonymous with risk.’ Having said that, beta can still be rather useful. The first thing to understand about beta is that the beta of the overall market is one. Any stock with a beta of greater than one is considered more volatile than the market, while those with a beta below one are either less volatile or poorly correlated with the market.

What MCH’s beta value tells investors
Looking at the last five years, Mediacontech has a beta of 1.22. The fact that this is well above 1 indicates that its share price movements have shown sensitivity to overall market volatility. If the past is any guide, we would expect that Mediacontech shares will rise quicker than the markets in times of optimism, but fall faster in times of pessimism. Beta is worth considering, but it’s also important to consider whether Mediacontech is growing earnings and revenue. You can take a look for yourself, below.

Does MCH’s size influence the expected beta?
With a market capitalisation of €9.1m, Mediacontech is a very small company by global standards. It is quite likely to be unknown to most investors. It takes less money to influence the share price of a very small company. This may explain the excess volatility implied by this beta value.
What this means for you:
Since Mediacontech tends to moves up when the market is going up, and down when it’s going down, potential investors may wish to reflect on the overall market, when considering the stock. This article aims to educate investors about beta values, but it’s well worth looking at important company-specific fundamentals such as Mediacontech’s financial health and performance track record. I highly recommend you dive deeper by considering the following:
