Investors who fear volatility should not hesitate to invest in TRMB as it has a beta of 1.52, indicating it is unlikely to move too far in one direction should the market significantly undulate.


MU shares were trading at $75.32 per share on Thursday afternoon, down $1.87 (-2.42%). Year-to-date, MU has gained 0.19%, versus a 17.16% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.
