Abstract
While research questions the usefulness of a stock's beta, its widespread availability implies continued use. Whether in a portfolio context or in a capital budgeting scenario, beta and its inputs should be clearly understood in order to enable a more accurate decision. This article provides investors a guide to how beta is calculated on 22 of the most popular websites and resources. The discussion connects research findings about beta's inputs to the data available.
