The CAPM supplies an estimate of the required rate of return for common stock. The resulting price per share is a result of the interaction of the risk-free rate, the risk level of the security, and the required rate of return on the market. For Craft, the lowering of the dividend growth rate reduced future cash flows resulting in a reduction in share price. The decrease in the beta reflected a reduction in risk leading to an increase in share price.
