The entire share market sees a fluctuating trend of bullish and bearish, but there are some highly volatile stocks that are subject to frequent fluctuation as compared to the entire market. Stockbrokers or investors are constantly searching for these highly volatile stocks in India, as they have the potential to provide the best returns with significant price movements.

What is the meaning of volatility in the stock market?

In statistics, we have studied volatility as a statistical measure that indicates the deviation through standard deviation or variance. In the same way, volatility in the stock market indicates the movements of a stock's price from its original value or the movement as compared to its index. This volatility can happen every minute or second.

Volatile stocks are different for different traders. The high volatile stocks for intraday can be considered as the difference between the high and low prices in a day. For some traders, it is the highest volume traded and for others, it can be mathematical models and complex calculations on the basis of historical data.

Most Volatile Stocks in India: How To Identify Them?

There are various factors to identify the highly fluctuating shares which are subject to change fastly. Beta is one such factor that can measure the stock volatility as compared to its index. There is an index of the most volatile stocks nse (Nifty High Beta 50) that tracks these shares and compares the same with the benchmark index. The high risk-return ratio is the most important feature of high-fluctuating shares.

Beta measures the systematic risk or the volatility a stock has which cannot be diversified. This risk has to be borne by the trader. Therefore, chances of earning high returns also come with this risk. As prices fluctuate fastly, the chances of earning a return on the best volatile stocks for intraday is higher. When beta is equal to 1, it means that it performs in the same manner as its benchmark index. When the beta is less than 1, it means that the stock will show less fluctuation as compared to its benchmark index. But when the beta is greater than 1, a stock will show greater fluctuations than its benchmark index. Any minor change in the index or the market will hugely impact these stocks. When stock volatility rises, there is an opportunity to earn above-average returns. This increases both the demand and supply of these shares in a day and increases the volume traded in a day.

Merits and Demerits of Investing in Volatile Stocks

Merits

As these stocks show large fluctuations, there is an opportunity to earn higher profits even if the benchmark index moves slightly upwards.
As these stocks are generally of mid-cap and small-cap companies, they can be available at lower costs.

The market value of these stocks is relatively lower because they are generally small-cap stocks and are undervalued from their intrinsic value.
As for these stocks, volatile conditions show that they will outperform in a situation when there is inflation in the economy. It will hedge the investor against inflation and lead to a significant rise in the purchasing power of the investor.

Demerits

As the beta of these stocks is greater than 1 with the feature of outperforming it also leads to a situation when the benchmark index falls by a smaller percentage but that single stock will poorly drop from its value. With the advantage of earning upside potential, there is also a high risk of a downside fall.
The investor will only take into account unsystematic risks such as stock market conditions and the state of an economy. But there is a situation of ‘value trap’ which means even if the benchmark index or stock market rises then also these highly volatile stocks will fall drastically in its value because of the poor faulty management of a business or failure to meet production targets.
