You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $25. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $1 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $30. The stock's beta is 1.3, rf is 6%, and market risk premium is 10%. What is the stock's alpha?

Answer:

5%

Explanation:

stock's Alpha = R - Rf - beta (Rm - Rf)

  • R represents the stock's return = $6/$25 = 24%
  • Rf = 6%
  • Beta = 1.3
  • Rm = 16%

Alpha = 0.24 - 0.06 - 1.3 (0.1) = 0.24 - 0.06 - 0.13 = 0.24 - 0.19 = 0.05 = 5%

A stock's Alpha is basically the excess return that the stock yields compared to an specific benchmark, e.g. S&P 500, Dow Jones.
