For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – September 22, 2025 – Stocks in this week’s article are Scorpio Tankers Inc. (STNG - Free Report) , Kanzhun (BZ - Free Report) and Tencent Music Entertainment Group (TME - Free Report) .
Bet on Low-Beta Stocks as Market Uncertainty Remains
According to a CNBC report, the U.S. Supreme Court is set to review the legality of President Trump's major import tariffs in hearings scheduled for Nov. 5. As a result, uncertainty persists, and the market is likely to stay volatile.
Thus, to safeguard the portfolio from the choppy and uncertain market, investors should bet on low-beta stocks like Scorpio Tankers Inc., Kanzhun and Tencent Music Entertainment Group.
What Does Beta of a Stock Measure?
Beta measures the volatility or risk of a particular asset compared to the market. In other words, beta measures the extent of a security's price movement relative to the market. In this article, we are considering the S&P 500 as the market.
If a stock has a beta of 1, then the price of the stock will move with the market. So, the stock is more volatile than the market if its beta is more than 1. In the same way, the stock is not as volatile as the market if its beta is less than 1.
For example, if the market offers a return of 20%, a stock with a beta of 3 will return 60%, which is overwhelming. Similarly, when the market slips 20%, the stock will sink 60%, which is devastating.
Here are three of the 18 stocks that qualified for the screening:
Scorpio Tankers
Scorpio Tankers is a well-known name in the shipping of petroleum products worldwide. With most of the ships being modern and relatively young, with an average age of less than 10 years, Scorpio Tankers has a strong competitive advantage. The company also has a strong balance sheet, with a liquidity of more than $1.3 billion, as stated on the second-quarter 2025 earnings call.
Kanzhun
Kanzhun is known for running BOSS Zhipin, China's top job-hunting app. The company has a strong cash position with a reserve exceeding RMB 16 billion. BZ's robust operations are reflected in its more than RMB 1 billion cash generation every three months.
Tencent Music
In China, Tencent Music is a leading name for running key music apps like QQ Music, Kugou, Kuwo and WeSing. People are spending more time than ever in the music apps, thanks to new features like the bubble community.
