This firm has a beta of 1.0757. Let's try to break down what Shell's beta means in this case. As the market goes up, the company is expected to outperform it. However, if the market returns are negative, Shell Midstream will likely underperform. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Shell Midstream moves in the same direction as the rest of the market, and how volatile (i.e., risky) it is compared to the market (i.e., selected benchmark). In other words, if Shell deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns.
How important is Shell Midstream's Liquidity
Shell Midstream financial leverage refers to using borrowed capital as a funding source to finance Shell Midstream Partners ongoing operations. It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Shell Midstream financial leverage is typically calculated by taking the company's all interest-bearing debt and dividing it by total capital. So the higher the debt-to-capital ratio (i.e., financial leverage), the riskier the company. Financial leverage can amplify the potential profits to Shell Midstream's owners, but it also increases the potential losses and risk of financial distress, including bankruptcy, if the firm cannot cover its debt costs. The degree of Shell Midstream's financial leverage can be measured in several ways, including by ratios such as the debt-to-equity ratio (total debt / total equity), equity multiplier (total assets / total equity), or the debt ratio (total debt / total assets).

An Additional Perspective On Shell Midstream Partners
Shell Midstream price slide over the last few months created some momentum for investors as it was traded today as low as 11.42 and as high as 11.84 per share. The company directors and management were not very successful in positioning the company resources to exploit market volatility in July. However, diversifying your holdings with Shell Midstream Partners or similar stocks can still protect your portfolio during high-volatility market scenarios. The stock standard deviation of daily returns for 30 days investing horizon is currently 3.28. The above-average risk is mostly attributed to market volatility and speculations regarding some of the upcoming earning calls from Shell Midstream Part partners.
