EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EQUITY ANALYSIS is the systematic study of the performance of companies in

stock market with help of fundamental analysis and technical analysis. Equity

analysis consists of fundamental analysis & technical analysis. While decision in

investment of shares should be base on actual movement of shares price measured

more in money & percentage term & nothing else.

In equity analysis, calculations are based on FACTS & not on HOPE. The subject of

equity analysis, i.e. the to attempt to determine future share price movement with the

help of RATIO ANALYSIS, STUDY OF GRAPH. Equity analysis does not discuss

how to buy & sell shares, but does discuss the methods, which enables the investor to

arriving at buying & selling decision.

The Technical Approach to investment is essentially a reflection of the idea that

prices moves in a trend that are determined by the changing attitude of investor’s

toward a variety of economic, monetary, political and psychological forces. The art of

technical analysis, for it is an art, is to identify a trend reversal at a relatively early

stage and ride on that trend until the weight of the evidence shows or proves the trend

has reversed.

SENSEX – THE BAROMETER OF INDIAN CAPITAL MARKETS

For the premier Stock Exchange that pioneered the stock broking activity in Indian,

128 years of experience seems to be a proud milestone. A lot has changed since 1875

when 318 persons became members of what today is called “The Stock Exchange,

Mumbai” by paying a princely amount of Re1. Till the decade of eighties, there was

no scale to measure the ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The Stock

Exchange, Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a stock index that subsequently

became the barometer of the Indian stock market.

First compiled in 1986, SENSEX is a basket of 30 constituent stocks representing a

sample of large, liquid and representative companies. The base year of SENSEX is

1978-79 and the base value is 100. The index is widely reported in both domestic and

international markets through print as well as electronic media. The entry and exit of

any specific stock depends on the market capitalization of the top 30 companies in the

market and are from different sectors.

NATIONAL STOCK EXCHANGE

The National Stock Exchange (NSE) is India’s leading stock exchange covering

various cities and towns across the country. NSE was set up by leading institutions to

provide a modern, fully automated screen-based trading system with national reach.

The Exchange has brought about unparalleled transparency, speed & efficiency,

safety and market integrity. It has set up facilities and procedures.

NSE has played a catalytic role in reforming the Indian securities market in terms of

microstructure, market practices and trading volumes. The market today uses state-of-

art information technology to provide an efficient and transparent trading, clearing

and settlement mechanism, and has witnessed several innovations in products &

services viz. demutualization of stock exchange governance, screen based trading,

Professionalisation of trading members, fine-tuned risk management systems,

emergence of clearing corporations to assume counter party risks, market of debt and

derivative instruments and intensive use of information technology. IDBI & other

financial institution with paid equity capital of Rs 25 cores set up NSE. It started

operation in Wholesale debt market in June 1994 & in equity, in Nov 1994.

OBJECTIVE

It was good opportunity to familiarize myself with the stock market i.e. the capital

market & their co-relation with economical environment through “ EQUITY

RESEARCH”. The analysis of equity gives me the opportunity to understand

thoroughly this behavioral pattern’s of different equity & overall capital market.

The main objective of the project research is as follows.

1. To Study the equity analysis and obtain the knowledge of equity market

2. To Study the present behavior & predicting the future behavior of equity in

stock market.

3. Obtain the knowledge about how to select the companies for investment.

To analyze the performance of company’s through Balance Sheet & Technical graph

of their shares.

RATIONALE

The present market scenario has shown us the Boom in Share Market. Even some of

the research firms showed that Share Market is the fastest growing in India.

From last two years share market is in boom. Now it is possible for the investors to

trade from their own place. As compare to last two years there is a growth in the

number of share brokers and market analysts. Media is playing an important role in

these regards. Now the common man is also thinking of some investment in share

market. Too many investors invest their money for the short span, the intention is

speculative.

20

EQUITY ANALYSIS

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS

The investor, while buying stock, has the primary purpose of gain. If he invests for a

short period of time, it is speculative but when he holds if for a fairly long period of

time, the anticipation is that he would receive some return on his investment. The

fundamental analysis is a method of finding out the future price of a stock, which an

investor wishes to buy. The method for forecasting the future behavior of investment

and the rate of return on them is clearly through an analysis of the broad economic

forces, industry analysis, the company analysis and ration analysis.

A. Influence of the economy on the company. These are the following factor: -

01. Economic Growth02. Populations03. Monsoons and Agriculture Production04. Natural resources and availability of raw material05. Industrial Productions06. Inflation07. Interest rate08.

22

Page 23: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

B. Industrial Analysis.

The industry analysis should take in to account the following factors as

influence the performance of the company, whose share prices are to be

analyzed.

Product Line.

It is also necessary to know the industries with a high growth potential like

computers, electronics, chemicals, diamonds, textiles etc. and whether the

industry is in the priority sector of the key industry group of capital goods or

consumers goods group.

Raw Material and Inputs.

Under these head, we have to look in to industries depending on imports of

scare raw materials, competition from other companies and industries and the

barriers to entry of new company, protection from foreign competition, import

and export restriction etc.

Capacity Installed and Utilized.

The demand for industrial product in the economy is estimated by the

planning commission and the Government, and the units are given licensed

capacity on the basis of these estimates.

Industry Characteristics.

It included whether the industry is cyclical, fluctuating of stable. It is also

important industry produce seasonal product or FMCG. It also included

demand of product freight charges, cost of production, advertisement cost,

skill of operation, profitability.

23

Page 24: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Demand and Market.

It includes demand of the product in the market and price of raw material and

other input cost like freight, electricity, season, monsoon, etc. if the nature of

product is such as drugs, fertilizer or other consumer goods, whose price and

distribution control by Government.

Government Policy with regard to Industry

Government Policy is announced in the industrial policy resolution and

Subsequent announcement from time to time by the Government. The Policy

strategy as laid down in the five years plans according to planning

commission and expected demand in the economy.

Management.

If the promoters and the management are the efficient and capable of steering

the company through the difficult days such management likes TATA &

BIRLA, who have reputation, buildup their companies on the strong

foundation. The management has to be assessed in the terms of their

capabilities, popularity, honesty and integrity.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS The methods used to analyze securities and make investment decisions fall into two

very broad categories: Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis.

Fundamental analysis involves analyzing the characteristics of a company in order to

estimate its value. Technical analysis takes a completely different approach; it doesn’t

care one bit about the “value” of a company or a commodity. Technicians (some time

called chartists) are only interested in the price movement in the market.

Despite all the fancy and exotic tools it employs, technical analysis really just studies

supply and demand in a market in an attempt to determine what direction, or trend,

will continue in the future. In other words, technical analysis attempts to understand

the emotions in the market by studying the market it self, as opposed to its

components. If you understand the benefits and limitation of technical analysis it can

give you a new set of tools or skills than will enable you to better trader or investor.

DEFINITION

Technical analysis is a method of evaluating the securities by analyzing the statistics

generated by the market activity, such as past price and volume. In technical analysis,

analysts use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future

activity.

Just as there are many investment styles on fundamental side, there is also much

different type of technical traders. Some rely on chart patterns. In any case, technical

analysts exclusive use of historical price and volume data is what separates them from

their fundamental counterparts. Unlike fundamental analysis technical analysts don’t

care whether a stock is undervalued the only thing that matter is a security’s past

trading data and what information this data can provide about where the security

might move in the future

25

Page 26: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Assumptions:

1. The Market Discounts Everything

A major criticism of technical analysis is that it only considers price movement,

ignoring the fundamental factors of the company. However, technical analysis

assumes that, at any given a time, a stocks price reflects everything that has or could

affect the company- including Fundamental Factors. Technical analysts believe that

the company’s fundamentals, along with broader economic factors and market

psychology, are all priced into the stock, removing the need to actually consider these

factors separately.

This only leaves the analysis of price movement, which technical theory views as a

product of supply and demand for a particular stock in the market.

2. Price Moves In Trends

In technical analysis, price movements are believed to follow trends. This means that

after a trend has been established, the future price movement is more likely to be in

the same direction as the trend that to be against it. Most technical trading strategies

are based on this assumption.

3. History Tends To Repeat Itself

Another important idea in technical analysis is that history tends to repeat itself,

mainly in terms of price movement. The repetitive nature of price movement is

attributed to market psychology; in other words, market participants tend to provide a

consistent reaction to similar market stimuli over time. Technical analysis uses chats

patterns to analyze market movements and understand trends. Although many of

these charts have been use for more than 100 years they are still believed to be

relevant because they illustrate patterns in price movements that often repeat

themselves.

26

Page 27: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Line charts

A style of charts that is created by connecting a series of data points together with a

line. This is the most basic type of charts used in finance and connecting a series of

past prices together with a line generally creates it.

Bar chart

A style of chart used by some technical analysts, on whom as illustrated below, the

top of the vertical line indicates the highest price a security traded at during the day,

and the bottom represents the lowest price. The closing price is displayed on the right

side of the bar, and the opening price is shown on the left side of the bar. A single bar

like the one below represents one day of trading.

These are the most popular type of chart used in technical analysis. The visual

representation of price activity over a given period of time is used to spot trends and

patterns.

27

Page 28: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Candlestick

A price chart that displays the high, low, open and close for a security each day over a

specified period of time.

There are many trading strategies based upon patterns in candlestick charting.

Technical analysis: the use of trend

One of the most important concepts in technical analysis is that of trend. The meaning

in finance isn’t all that different from the general definition of the term- a trend is

really nothing more than the general direction in which a security or market is

headed. Take a look at the chart below:

28

Page 29: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

It isn’t hard to see that the trend in figure is up. However, isn’t not always this easy to

see a trend.

There are lots of ups and downs in this chart, but there isn’t a clear indication of which direction this security is headed.

The Importance of Trend

It is important to be able to understand and identify trends so that you can trade with

them rather than trade against them. Two important sayings in technical analysis are “

the trend is your friend” and “ don’t buck the trend” Illustrating how important trend

analysis is for technical trade.

Types of Trend

There are three types of trend:

Up Trends

Downtrends

Sideways/ Horizontal Trends

29

Page 30: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

As the names imply, when each successive peak and trough is higher, it’s referred to

as an upward trend. If the peaks and troughs are getting lower. It’s a downtrend.

When there is little movement up or down in the peaks and troughs, it’s a sideways or

horizontal trend. If you want to get really technical, you might even say that a

sideways trend is actually not a trend on its own, but a lack of a well-defined trend in

either direction. In any case, the market can really only trend in these three ways: up,

down or nowhere.

Uptrend

Describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is

upward. A formal uptrend is when each successive peak and trough is higher than the

ones found earlier in the trend.

Notice how each successive peak and trough is located above the previous ones. For

example, the peak at trend is higher than the peak at uptrend. The uptrend will be

deemed broken if the next low on the chart falls below trend.

30

Page 31: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Downtrend

Describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is

downtrend. A formal downtrend occurs when each successive peak and trough is

lower than the ones found earlier in the trend.

Notice how each successive peak and trough is lower than the previous one. For

example, the low trend is lower than the low at Point. The downtrend will be deemed

broken once the price closes above the high at high direction trend.

Downtrend is the opposite of uptrend.

Trend lines

A trend line is a simple charting technique that adds a line to a chart to represent the

trend in the market or a stock. Drawing a trend line is as simple as drawing a straight

line that follows a general trend. These lines are used to clearly show the trend and

are also used in the identification of the reversals.

31

Page 32: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

As you see in above Figure, an upward trend lines is drawn at the lows of an upward

trend. This line represents the support the stock has every time it moves from a high

to a low. Notice how the price is propped up by this support. This type of trend line

helps traders to anticipate the point at which a stock’s price will begin moving

upwards again. Similarly, a downward trend line is drawn at the highs of the

downward trend. This line represents the resistance level that a stock faces every time

the price moves from a low to a high.

Trend Lengths:

Along with this trend direction, there is three-trend classification. A trend of any

direction can be classified as a long-term trend, intermediate trend or a short-term. In

terms of the stock market, a major trend is generally categorized as one lasting longer

than a year. An intermediate trend is considered to last between one and three months

and a near-term trend is anything less than a month. A long-term trend is composed of

several intermediate trends, which obtain move against the direction of the major

trend. If the major trend is upward and there is a downward correction in price

movement followed by a continuation of the up trend, the correction is considered to

be an intermediate trend. The short term trends are components both major and

32

Page 33: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

intermediate trends. Take a look a Figure to get a sense of how these three trends

lengths might look.

When analyzing trends, it is important that the chart is constructed to best reflect the

type of trend being analyzed. To help identify long-term trends, chartists to get a

better idea of the long-term trend use weekly charts or daily charts spanning a five-

year period. Daily data charts are best use when analyzing both intermediate and

short-term trends. It is also important to remember that the longer the trend, the more

important it is; for example, a month trend is not as significant as five-year trend.

Channels

A Channel, or channel lines, is the addition of two parallel trend lines that act as

strong areas of support and resistance. The upper trend line connects a series of highs,

while the lower trend line connects a series of lows. A channel can slope upward,

downward or sideways but regardless of the direction, the interpretation remains the

same. Traders will expect a given security to trade between two levels of support and

resistance until it breaks beyond one of the levels in which case traders can expect a

sharp move in Direction of the break. Along with clearly displaying the trend,

channel is mainly used to illustrate important areas of support and resistance.

33

Page 34: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Above graph a descending channel on stock chart; the upper trend line has been

placed on the highs and lower trend line is on the lows. The price has bounced off of

these line several times, and has remained rang-bound for several months. As long as

the price does not fall below the lower line or move beyond the upper resistance, the

range bound downtrend is expected to continue.

Double Bottom

A charting pattern used in technical analysis. It describes the drop of a stock (or

index), a rebound, another drop to the same (or similar) level as the original drop, and

finally another rebound.

34

Page 35: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Double Top

A term used in technical analysis to describe the rise of a stock, a drop, another rise to

the same level as the original rise, and finally another drop.

The double top looks like the letter “M”. The twice-touched high is considered a

resistance level.

Triple Bottom

35

Page 36: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

A pattern used in technical analysis to predict the reversal of a prolonged downtrend.

The pattern is identified when the price of an asset creates three troughs at nearly the

same price level. The third bounce off the support is an indication that buying interest

(demand) is outweighing selling interest (Supply) and that trend is in the process of

reversing.

36

1 2 3

Page 37: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Once the first bottom is created, the price reaches a peak and retraces back toward the

prior support. This is when buyer enters again and pushes the price of the asset

higher, creating bottom No.2. The price of the asset then created another peak and

heads lower for its final test of the support. The final bounce of the support level

creates bottom No.3 and traders will get ready to enter a long position once the price

breaks above the previous resistance (Illustrated by the black on the chart). This

pattern is considered to be a very reliable indication that the downtrend has reversed

and that the new trend in the upward direction. Sudden change in the price direction

of a stock, index, commodity or derivative security. Also referred to as a “Trend

Reversal”, “Rally” or “Correction”.

Triple Top

A pattern used in technical analysis to predict the reversal of prolonged up trend. This

pattern is identified when the price of an asset creates three peaks at nearly the same

price level. The bonus off the resistance near the third peak is clear indication that

buying interest is becoming exhausted. The traders to predict the reversal of the up

trend use it.

The three consecutive tops make this pattern visually similar to the head and

shoulders pattern but, in this case, the middle peak is nearly equal to the other peak

rather than being higher. Many traders will enter into a short position once the price

of asset falls below the identified support level. (Shown by the line in the chart

above).

37

Page 38: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

Head and Shoulders Pattern

A technical analysis term used to describe a chart formation in which a stocks price:

1 Rises to a peak and subsequently declines.

2. Then, the price rises above the former peak and again declines

3. And finally, rises again, but not to the second peak, and declines once

more.

The First and Third peaks are shoulders, and second peak forms the head.

The “Head -and –Shoulders” pattern is believed to be one of the most reliable trend

reversal patterns.

Volume

The number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire market during a

given period of time. It is simply the amount of shares that trade hands from sellers to

buyers as a measure of activity. If a buyer of a stock purchases 100 shares from a

seller, then the volume for that period increases by the 100 shares based on that

transaction.

Volume is an important indicator in the technical analysis as it is used to measure the

Technical Analysis: The chart of Larson & Toubro is looking I saw how support and

resistance levels can be penetrated by a change in investor expectations. This type of

a change is often abrupt and “news based”. In this section I will review “trends”. A

trend represents a consistent change in prices (i.e. a change in investor expectations)

As shown in the following chart, a rising trend is defined by successively

higher low prices. A rising trend can be thought of as a rising support level-the bulls

are in control and are pushing prices higher.

The origin of the State Bank of India goes back to the first decade of the nineteenth

century with the establishment of the Bank of Calcutta in Calcutta on 2 June 1806.

Three years later the bank received its charter and was re-designed as the Bank of

Bengal (2 January 1809). A unique institution, it was the first joint-stock bank of

British India sponsored by the Government of Bengal. The Bank of Bombay (15

April 1840) and the Bank of Madras (1 July 1843) followed the Bank of Bengal.

These three banks remained at the apex of modern banking in India till their

amalgamation as the Imperial Bank of India on 27 January 1921.

Primarily Anglo-Indian creations, the three presidency banks came into existence

either as a result of the compulsions of imperial finance or by the felt needs of local

European commerce and were not imposed from outside in an arbitrary manner to

modernize India's economy. Their evolution was, however, shaped by ideas culled

from similar developments in Europe and England, and was influenced by changes

occurring in the structure of both the local trading environment and those in the

relations of the Indian economy to the economy of Europe and the global economic

framework.

First Five-Year Plan

In 1951, when the First Five Year Plan was launched, the development of rural India

was given the highest priority. The commercial banks of the country including the

Imperial Bank of India had till then confined their operations to the urban sector and

were not equipped to respond to the emergent needs of economic regeneration of the

rural areas. In order, therefore, to serve the economy in general and the rural sector in

particular, the All India Rural Credit Survey Committee recommended the creation of

a state-partnered and state-sponsored bank by taking over the Imperial Bank of India,

and integrating with it, the former state-owned or state-associate banks. An act was

accordingly passed in Parliament in May 1955 and the State Bank of India was

constituted on 1 July 1955. More than a quarter of the resources of the Indian banking

63

Page 64: 0601024 Equity Research Fundamental and Technical Analysis and Its Impact on Stock Prices

system thus passed under the direct control of the State. Later, the State Bank of India

(Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabling the State Bank of India to take

over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries (later named Associates).

The State Bank of India was thus born with a new sense of social purpose aided by

the 480 offices comprising branches, sub offices and three Local Head Offices

inherited from the Imperial Bank. The concept of banking as mere repositories of the

community's savings and lenders to creditworthy parties was soon to give way to the

concept of purposeful banking sub serving the growing and diversified financial

needs of planned economic development. The State Bank of India was destined to act

as the pacesetter in this respect and lead the Indian banking system into the exciting

Field of national development.

Interpretation: From the above table & pie chart it represents that 42% of people

take Advice of Broker while investment in stocks, and 23% of people invest on the

basis of speculation, and 20% on basis of Research Reports by Technical analyst and

15% invest on there own decision. But many experts feel that if people invest money

in stock market by Research Report then chances of profit is high and losses are

minimum because Research Report give good suggestion and already they have

calculated risk in stocks so it will be beneficial while investment. If investment on the

basis of speculation the chances of losses are high and profits minimum. If you do not

have, any knowledge of stock market so should ask to your Broker who will advice

do intraday in which the profit and risk both are the high but many research

suggest that it is always better to investment of money in long term than short

company gives equity dividend 300% this year.

It means that script is strong and investor should remain in stock for long

period. Returns are very good. The target price is Rs.2040.so there is an upside there,

SUGGESTION

Following are suggestions made based on study with reference to watch on NEAT

Screen, interaction with clients, data analysis and findings:

1. In IT sector Infosys is very good because it’s EPS is continuously increasing

and company have given 300 % dividend it means stock is strong by

fundamentally and technically it is also growing very well people should

invest in this stock

2. Reliance Industries is also looking strong by fundamentally and technically, in

future it is entering in to new business, merger with other company so this is

also good option for investment.

3. ABB is split stock, split-ratio was (4800/5) = 960 is split price that is why this

stock is very good for delivery due to split the price is down it was 4800

before split.

4. Technically L&T is in rising pattern, company offered the bonus share 1:1 per

share and gross profit and net profit is consistent. This is good stock for

investment

77

5. As the largest bank in India SBI is also very good for investment, EPS is also

increasing it will entering into new business and it will merger with other

banks (State Bank of Sourashtra) on the basis of this price goes up or down.

6. Share market is growing sectors if people invest money in stocks the returns

will be good than Bank F.D & Real Estate. People also should invest money

Mutual Funds as per return concerns.

7. If people invest money on Research reports or broker advice then chances of

risk is low and chances of return will be high.

8. It is always better to invest money on long term basis than intra day because

intraday is nothing but a speculation

9. If people consider both i.e. fundamental analysis and technical analysis then it

will be better than speculation

10. Currently IT sector is in boom so it is better to invest money in IT and also

good in Banking sector

CONCLUSION

With the help of project I concluded that blue chip companies are playing very

important role in the share market. Lot of investors is investing their money in the

blue chip companies. And this is the reason that the volume of blue chip companies is

high.

During this period of two months I came to know that in the process of equity

analysis of blue chip companies two weapons are playing a vital role i.e. Fundamental

Analysis and Technical Analysis.

The concept of Fundamental Analysis studies the performance of blue chip

companies. With the help of Fundamental Analysis can know the past performance of

the blue chip companies. Fundamental Analysis considers the long-term performance

of companies and this helps the investors to invest their money for long term as well

as can get the good returns.

Technical Analysis comprises short-term analysis of blue chip companies. Technical

Analysis really just studies supply and demand in the market in an attempt to

determine what direction or trend will continue in the future.

The study of technical as well as fundamental analysis can give detail information

about the well running companies in the market. Before investing in any company

one should study these two concepts.

LIMITATIONS OF STUDY

To understand the overall working of share market, the period of 60 days is

not enough.

Moreover, very few investor and agents have a detail knowledge of the study.

A study is conducted in Nasik only, which restrict the scope of the study

The data provided by the investor and the agents can’t be held true as 100%

correct.

The study was conducted to understand with respect to fundamental and

technical analysis, which is a part of the equity share market.
