Risk DNA
35% of LIN's variance is systematic (explainable by market, sector, and subsector factors); the rest is stock-specific.
LIN carries 63% stock-specific risk against a peer average of 76% — less of what happens here is specific to this name than is typical for its cohort.
Market (-3.5%) and Subsector (-0.2%) covaried negatively with LIN 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.
