Q. How do I find betas for companies or industries?

Visit the research desk at the Gast Business Library and request to check-out the Bloomberg keyboard. 

Once at the terminal, setup the keyboard, login and follow these instructions:

For current company betas:

• Type the ticker
• Find F8 on the keyboard and hit EQUITY
• Hit <GO>
• Type BETA
• Hit <GO>

For current industry betas try Betas by Sector 

Information on methods of calculating betas can be found in the SBBI Valuation Edition (HG4028.V3 S86), available in print in the Gast Business Library Reference section.
