This firm has a beta of 0.7666. Let's try to break down what Stonemor's beta means in this case. Stonemor Partners returns are very sensitive to returns on the market. As the market goes up or down, Stonemor Partners is expected to follow. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Stonemor Partners moves in the same direction as the rest of the market, and how volatile (i.e., risky) it is compared to the market (i.e., selected benchmark).
