Open Text Greeks
Most traded equities are subject to two types of risk - systematic (i.e., market) and unsystematic (i.e., nonmarket or company-specific) risk. Unsystematic risk is the risk that events specific to Open Text or Software sector will adversely affect the stock's price. This type of risk can be diversified away by owning several different stocks in different industries whose stock prices have shown a small correlation to each other. On the other hand, systematic risk is the risk that Open Text's price will be affected by overall stock market movements and cannot be diversified away. So, no matter how many positions you have, you cannot eliminate market risk. However, you can measure a Open stock's historical response to market movements and buy it if you are comfortable with its volatility direction. Beta and standard deviation are two commonly used measures to help you make the right decision.
α | Alpha over Dow Jones | -0.08 | |
β | Beta against Dow Jones | 0.60 | |
σ | Overall volatility | 1.96 | |

Open Text Volatility Alert
Open Text Corp exhibits very low volatility with skewness of -3.26 and kurtosis of 16.84. Understanding different market volatility trends often help investors to time the market.

The higher level of volatility that comes with bear markets can directly impact Open Text'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 financial instruments as prices fall.Open Text Fundamentals Vs Peers
