DetailsCloser look at Check Point Downside Variance
Check Point Software has current Downside Variance of 1.02. Downside Variance (or DV) is measured by target semi-variance and is termed downside volatility. It is expressed in percentages and therefore allows for rankings in the same way as variance. One way to view downside volatility is the annualized variance of returns below the target.
Downside Variance is the probability-weighted squared below-target returns. The squaring of the below-target returns has the effect of penalizing failures at an exponential rate. This is consistent with observations made on the behavior of individual decision-making under.
Downside Variance | = | SUM(RET DEV)2 N(ER) |
| = | 1.02 |
| SUM | = | Summation notation |
| RET DEV | = | Actual returns deviation over selected period |
| N(ER) | = | Number of points with returns less than expected return for the period |
Check Point has 91 percent likelihood to decline below $122 in August
The expected short fall is down to -0.83 as of today. Check Point Software has relatively low volatility with skewness of 0.89 and kurtosis of 3.68. However, we advise all investors to independently investigate Check Point Software to ensure all accessible information is consistent with the expectations about its upside potential and future expected returns. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market. Properly using volatility indicators enable traders to measure Check Point's stock risk against market volatility during both bullying and bearish trends. The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Check Point's stock price while adding stress to investors as they watch their shares' value plummet. This usually forces investors to rebalance their portfolios by buying different stocks as prices fall.
