Over the last 12 months, Moderna's shares have ranged in value from as little as US$62.55 up to US$142.82. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta measures a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Moderna's is 1.586. This would suggest that Moderna's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
