Xero share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Xero's shares have ranged in value from as little as $87.63 up to $138.79. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

XRO.AU volatility(beta: 0.93)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Xero's is 0.926. This would suggest that Xero's shares are less volatile than average (for this exchange).
