Payment networks and processors Market-Risk Comparison
Descriptive market-risk statistics — not investment advice; past performance does not indicate future results. This companion page uses lmfin computations from a pinned Yahoo adjusted-close window. It is not a rating, recommendation, endorsement, forecast, or investment judgment. See Disclaimer.
Member return/risk statistics
For Payment networks and processors, lmfin computes each included member's Sharpe ratio, beta vs SPY, annualized volatility, annualized return, and maximum drawdown over the pinned price window. The table below substitutes those values from the frozen pack.
PCA factor structure
lmfin's PCA run computes PC1 variance 55.64% and PC2 variance 13.66% from the aligned member return matrix. Loadings are reported as numeric factor coefficients, not as quality judgments.
