Abstract
Given the importance of systematic risk for the profit maximization and for the growth of the organization, the objective of the current study is to measure the systematic risk in energy sector companies listed in Pakistan Stock Exchange. To quantify the risk, the study has utilized the Capital Asset Price Model (CAPM). The study used the monthly stock price of Oil & Gas exploration companies and Oil & Gas marketing companies. This study examined the sensitivity and relationship of a sample of major oil and gas corporations to different financial risk factors. The results are aligned with theory of corporate finance and risk because our hypothesis upholds that bigger the organizations, better is their capacity to reduce the probable effects of the progressions in the political, social and practical climate which will lead the organizations to have a low systematic risk.
