Risk decomposition

MSFT

Market → sector → subsector → α-residual · 2026-02-17 → 2026-08-07

MSFT factor & risk decomposition snapshot
Market
+11.5%
Sector
+9.4%
Subsector
-2.4%
α residual
+7.8%
Stock
+26.3%

Every position carries the market, its sector, and its subsector before any stock-specific move. The waterfall splits MSFT's realized return into those benchmark layers; the α residual is what the three hedge layers do not explain.
