The correlation of Cencora is a statistical measure of how it moves in relation to other instruments. This measure is expressed in what is known as the correlation coefficient, which ranges between -1 and +1. A perfect positive correlation (i.e., a correlation coefficient of +1) implies that as Cencora moves, either up or down, the other security will move in the same direction. Alternatively, perfect negative correlation means that if Cencora moves in either direction, the perfectly negatively correlated security will move in the opposite direction.
