We have stock of three companies Hero motocorp ltd, godrej consumer products ltd , HCL Technologies ltd whose beta is 0.658, 3.5072, 3.47 respectively. Hero motocorp has lowest beta as compared to other companies, which means it has less risk as compared to others. However, securitites return of these three companies is less volatile than market changes. The security of both companies have highest beta ,which means it is more risky than others.
