J.P. Morgan quant's 20 highest beta stocks in the S&P 500

Beta measures stock price volatility and a high-beta stock (with a beta above 1.0) tends to more risky with greater potential reward. Investors are now flocking to high-beta names after previously crowding into momentum stocks (due to megacap and AI fear of missing out) in January and low volatility in April (on worries about tariffs, a recession and AI overspending).
