Detailed VaR Analysis Charts

For each battery company, we provide comprehensive four-panel charts showing price, rolling annual returns, daily returns, and return distribution.


Summary

Key Findings

Data Coverage: - Successfully retrieved data for 8 out of 8 battery companies - Analysis period: 10 years (from 2025-11-17 to 2025-12-31)

Risk Analysis: - VaR calculated at 95% confidence level (1-year historical VaR) - Highest VaR: 94.03% (3919.HK) - Lowest VaR: 25.13% (0040.HK) - Average VaR: 57.9%

Interpretation: - VaR represents the maximum expected loss at the specified confidence level - For example, a VaR of 30% means that in the worst 5% of 1-year periods, losses were 30% or worse - Higher VaR indicates higher risk (more volatile returns)

Methodology

  1. Data Retrieval: Historical adjusted closing prices from Yahoo Finance
  2. Returns Calculation: Log returns (log price differences)
  3. Indexing: Normalized to 100 at common start date for comparison
  4. VaR Calculation:
    • Rolling 252-trading-day (1-year) returns
    • 5th percentile of annual return distribution
    • Bootstrap confidence intervals (1000 iterations)
