Abstract: Abstract Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is one of the most important theories in modern finance. As a simple, intuitive risk premium model, The CAPM was primarily developed to study the relationship between expected returns on assets and risk assets in the securities market. Scholars have conducted a lot of empirical research on the applicability of this model in the capital market. CAPM has been proven to be somewhat defective, but it is still widely accepted and recognized and broadly applied in research. In this paper, two representative individual stocks in the U.S. retail industry, namely Amazon.com, Inc. and Costco Wholesale Corporation, are used as examples and the indices of the two stocks from 2017 to 2021 as samples. CAPM is used to conduct regressive analysis and the level of its risk is judged so as to provide investment suggestions and countermeasures.
