Risk DNA
61% of AEP's variance is systematic (explainable by market, sector, and subsector factors); the rest is stock-specific.
AEP carries 39% stock-specific risk against a peer average of 66% — less of what happens here is specific to this name than is typical for its cohort.
Market (-0.8%) and Subsector (-0.5%) covaried negatively with AEP over this window, offsetting its variance rather than adding to it. Clamped to 0% for the bar and the remaining layers renormalized, so the percentages above sum to 100.
