Alpha: The measure of the amount of a stock’s expected return that is not related to the stock’s sensitivity to market volatility. It measures the residual non-market influences that contribute to a securities risk unique to each security.
Alpha uses beta as a measure of risk, a benchmark and a risk free rate of return (usually T-bills) to compare actual performance with expected performance.
CITATION: https://www.r2library.com/Resource/Title/0826102549

For example, a fund with a beta of .80 in a market that rises 10% is expected to rise 8%. If the risk-free return is 3%, the alpha would be –.6%, calculated as follows:
(Fund return – Risk-free return) – (Beta x Excess return) = Alpha
(8% – 3%) – [.8 × (10% – 3%)] = – .6%
A positive alpha indicates out performance while a negative alpha means under-performance.
