Basically:
A high beta stock is more sensitive to market fluctuations.A stock with a beta of 1 will have more or less the volatility that is in line with say the S&P 500 index or other relevant index. A stock with a beta of 1.5 is theoretically 50% more volatile than the index.?

NPHC has I think a beta of 4.5.
