Acrux share price volatility

Over the last 12 months, Acrux's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.105 up to $0.25. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Acrux's is 1.2377.
