Sometimes, brands split their companies into pieces called "shares" and sell them to the public/investors so they can gain power and value. Standard deviation is one of many things people use to measure the risk of investing in a company.

  • Michael Kors sells their company for $65.97\$ 65.97 per share, on average, with a current standard deviation (of the last month) of about $5.50\$ 5.50.

  • Nike sells shares for $68.35\$ 68.35 each, on average, with a current standard deviation (of the last month) of about $1.50\$ 1.50.

  • Lululemon sells shares for $100.26\$100.26 each, on average, with a current standard deviation (of the last month) of about $3.00\$3.00.
