How do I find current betas for companies and/or industries?

Mergent Online: Use the Company Search to find a company and access its profile. In the company profile, view the Company details tab. Then select the Highlights sub-tab. See the Stock Price and Valuation section for a current beta.

Financial Times (create an account using your @uwo.ca email address): In the main menu select Markets then Market Data. Use the Search Securities box to find a company and access its profile. The banner at the top of the company profile will include the current beta.

Factiva: Click on Companies/Markets. Then search for a company to access its company snapshot. Within the company snapshot, select Reports. Then choose the Ratio Comparison Report from the drop-down and View Report. A 5 year beta can be found under the Valuation Ratios heading. 

Bloomberg (available in the Business Library): Type a ticker symbol, hit the Equity key, type BETA, and hit the GO key (e.g. AAPL US <Equity> BETA <GO>). 

Capital IQ (available in the Business Library): Search for a company. Within the company profile, select Quick Comps under the Peer Analysis heading. Then click the Operating Statistics tab to view a table with a 5 year Beta.

For current industry betas try Betas by Sector created by Aswath Damodaran at NYU.
