What is unlevered beta?
Unlevered beta (also called asset beta) removes the effect of a company’s financial leverage (debt) from its observed equity beta, isolating the risk attributable to the business’s operations alone.
The formula
Unlevered Beta = Levered Beta / [1 + (1 − Tax Rate) × Debt-to-Equity Ratio]. This is commonly used to compare the underlying business risk of companies with different amounts of debt, or to re-lever a peer’s beta for a different capital structure.
