2. Measuring stand-alone risk using realized (historical) data Returns earned over a given time period are called realized returns. Historical data on realized returns is often used to estimate future results. Analysts across companies use realized stock returns to estimate the risk of a stock. Consider the case of Falcon Freight Inc. (FF): Five years of realized returns for FF are given in the following table. Remember: 1. While FF was started 40 years ago, its common stock has been publicly traded for the past 25 years. 2. The returns on its equity are calculated as arithmetic returns. 3. The historical returns for FF for 2014 to 2018 are: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Stock return 8.75% 5.95% 10.50% 14.70% 4.55% the population a sample Given the preceding data, the averag on FF's stock is the universe The preceding data series represents of FF's historical returns.
