Veritone has a beta of -0.2499. Let's try to break down what Veritone'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, Veritone will likely underperform. The beta indicator helps investors understand whether Veritone 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 Veritone deviates very little from the market, it does not add much risk to the portfolio, but it also doesn't increase the expected returns.

It is usually used to expand the firm's asset base and generate returns on borrowed capital. Veritone 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.

The degree of Veritone'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).
