Alpha is an important metric for evaluating the performance of an investment 🤔

Let’s explore some ways to include Alpha in the stock investing process ⚡

💡Fundamental analysis = examining a company's financial health and services to determine its value and growth potential.

On the other hand. . .

💡Alpha can be used to compare a stock’s performance to a benchmark, like the S&P 500.

Think of Alpha as the frosting on a cake. 🍰

It's only one metric and doesn't represent how tasty or healthy the whole company is 🎂

A stock with a high Alpha may be more attractive to investors. 😝

For example, let’s consider two companies in the same industry with similar financials and growth prospects. . . 🤔

Let’s say Company A has a higher Alpha than Company B, indicating that its stock has outperformed the benchmark. 🆎

Even though Company A outperformed this year, we still don’t know if Company A is a more stable company without researching it further 📝

1️⃣ Consider the level of risk associated with achieving the Alpha

2️⃣ Compare Alpha over multiple time periods to see if it's consistent or fluctuating

3️⃣ Consider the level of risk associated with achieving the Alpha

4️⃣ Evaluate Alpha in the context of the company's industry and trends throughout the economy!

A well-rounded investment strategy should consider multiple factors and indicators to make informed decisions and achieve long-term success. 💪
