I am a newbie as well but what is the question? They are public posts so I could try to help or someone else will chime in.

Look at the beta of the stock, 17.30

"A stock with a beta of 1.00 will tend to move higher and lower in tandem with the S&P 500. Securities with a beta greater than 1.00 tend to be more volatile than the S&P 500"
