    ABSTRACT

    This project work was undertaken with a view to study and analyzes the

    Investment performance of selected stock traded in National Stock Exchange with

    reference to Northeast Broking Services Limited, Karur. The main objective of the study

    is to identify the investable companies stocks for higher return than the guaranteed

    market return during the months of March, April and May 2011. This study is used to

    anticipate the Risk and Return for the stocks of selective companies with their market

    price. The Risk and Return for the selected stock of the companies were calculated using

    the Alpha, Beta, and Variance analysis.

    The choice of the investment pattern of the investor were identified through the

    Risk and Return value of the different sectors like Automobile, cement, Information

    Technology, Pharmaceuticals and Power sectors that are listed in the National Stock Exchange.

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 ABOUT THE STUDY

    1.1.1 INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

    The capital market plays a vital role in promoting economic growth through the

    mobilization of long term savings and the savings get investment in the economy for

    production purpose. India has a well developed capital market system, by far one of the

    best in the developing world. The capital market in India is a well integrated structured

    and its components include stock exchanges, development banks, investments trust and

    unit trust, Insurance Corporation and provident fund organization. It caters to varied

    needs for capital of agricultural, industrial and trading sector of economy.

    In an economy all the savings neither nor invested in the stock market. Certain

    portion of the money is invested as bank deposits. When people invest money directly in

    the stock market they have to bear the risk involved. Investing in stock market may youmore return than the risk less return, but it also involves high risk. When money is

    deposited in bank, the bank takes the responsibility of the risk involves.

    Bank invested in comp0anies after detailed analysis and charge higher interest.

    The bank gives guaranteed return to the investors. Since banks take the responsibility of

    risk, it charges high interest rate to the companies and pays less interest to deposits.

    The present study shows the company scripts listed in NSE. They are classified as

    five sectors:

    1. Automobile Sector

    2. Cement Sector

    3. Information Technology Sector

    4. Pharmaceutical Sector

    5. Power Sector

    Under each Sector five companies have been selected for the study. To evaluate

    the performance of the fund, different tools like Beta, Alpha, and Variance are used.

    Beta

    The beta factor describes the movement in a stocks or a portfolios returns in

    relation to that of the market return. For all practical purposes, the market returns are

    measured by the returns on the index, since the index is a good reflector of the market.

    The stocks with more than 1 beta value are considered to be risky.

    Beta = +1.0

    One percent changes in market index return causes exactly one percent change in

    the stock return. It indicates that the stock moves in random with the market.

    Beta = +0.5

    One percent changes in market index return causes 0.5 percent changes in the

    stock return. The stock is less volatile compared to the market.

    Beta = + 2.0

    One percent changes in market index return causes 2 percent changes in the stock

    return. The stock is more volatile.

    Negative beta value indicated that the stock return moves in the opposite direction.

    Alpha

    A positive value of alpha is healthy sign. Positive alpha values would yieldprofitable return. According, in a well diversified portfolio the average value of all stocks

    turns out to be zero.

    1.1.2 THEORY OF INVESTMENT

    Risk Analysis

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    14/70

    Risk in holding securities is generally associated with the possibility that realized

    returns will be less than were expected. The source of such disappointed is the failure of

    dividends and the securities price to materialize as expected.

    Forces that contribute to variations in (Return Price) or (Dividend Constitute

    elements of risk). Some influence are external to the firm that cannot be controlled and

    affect large number of securities risk. Other influences are internal to the firm and are

    controllable to a large degree. The force that is not controllable and affects the price of all

    securities is called systematic risk.

    Systematic Risk

    Systematic risk refers to that portion of total variability in return caused by factors

    affecting the prices of all securities risk. Their effect is to cause prices of all securities

    risk. Their effect is to cause prices of nearly-individuals common stocks to move together

    in the same manner.

    Market Risk

    Variability in return on most common stocks that are due to basic changes in

    investor expectations is referred to as market risk. Market risk is caused by investor

    reaction to tangible events. Expectations of lower corporate profits in general might cause

    the larger body of common stocks to fall in price.

    Intangible events are related to market psychology. Market risk is usually touched

    off by a reaction of real events, but the emotional instability of investors acting

    collectively leads to a snow balling over reaction.

    Interest-Rate Risk

    Interest-rate refers to the uncertainty of future market values and of the size of

    future income, caused by fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Suppose the

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    15/70

    Reserve Bank of India increases the interest rate, than it will send negative signal to stock

    market.

    Purchasing power Risk

    Purchasing power risk is the uncertainty of the purchasing power of the amounts

    to be received. In more every day terms, purchasing-power risk refers to the impact of

    inflation or deflation on an investment.

    Unsystematic Risk

    Unsystematic risk is the proportion of total risk that is unique to a firm or industry.

    Factors such as management capability, consumer preferences, and labour strikes causesystematic variability of returns in a firm. Unsystematic factors are largely independent

    of factors affect one firm must be examined for each firm.

    Financial Risk

    Financial risk is associated with the way in which a company finaces its activities.

    We usually gauge financial risk by looking at the capital structure of a firm. The presence

    of borrowed money of debt in the capital structures creates fixed payments in the form of interest that must be sustained by the firm. With no debt financing has no financial risk.

    Environmental Analysis

    Environmental analysis is the first stage in the security analysis process. It centers

    on tow important activities. 1) Estimating the long-run economic growth in the economy

    and 2) Predicating the turning points in the business cycle. Returns on most securities

    closely follow the performance of the general economy. Interest rate movements are tiedto the growth of the economy. High interest rates normally occur during boom periods,

    and low interest rates are more often associated with low or negative rages of economic

    growth.

    The level of market interest rates is a primary determinant of bond prices for any

    given quality bond.

    To analyze the growth factors for a specific common stock, investors need to go

    beyond the general economic outlook and focus on industry and markets segments that

    have growth rats differing form overall economy.

    Investors often examine post growth rates for several of the more important

    economic variables to arrive of reasonable expectations regarding future stock market

    growth rates. An investigation of economic growth generally includes at a minimum of

    the following three factors.

    1. The expected changes in the current population and its age distribution.

    2. The role of the government in fostering economic growth and

    3. The behavior of corporations with regard to expenditures on plants, equipment,

    and inventories.

    Components of GNP

    Investors interested in forecasting future economic growth need to look at major

    components of GNP (Gross National Product). GNP figures show performance of an

    economy. These are

    1) Personal consumption expenditures.

    2) Gross private domestic investment.

    3) Government purchase of goods and services and

    4) Net exports of goods and services.

    Influences of GNP

    Gross National Product is influenced in three basic ways. Two of these, fiscal and

    monetary policies, involve government action or intervention in various reforms. The

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    Investing in stock market may give more return than the risk less return but it also

    involves high risk. In an economy all the savings are not invested in the stock market.

    Certain portion of the money is invested as bank deposits when people invests money

    directly in the stock market they have to bear the risk.

    The major functions performed by a capital markets are:

    Mobilization of financial resources on a nationwide scale.

    Securing the foreign capital for rapid economic growth.

    Effective allocation of the mobilized financial resources.

    The stock market and other capital market allow investors to buy and sell stock

    continuously. The stock prices provide instant feedback to corporate executives about

    how investors judge their performance

    Stock values reflect investor reaction to government policy as well. If the

    government adopts policies that investors believe will hurt the economy and company

    profits the market declines; if investors believe policies will help the economy the

    market.

    1.2.2 STOCK MARKET SCENARIO DURING MARCH - MAY2011

    This study includes automobiles, cement, information technology, power,

    pharmaceuticals sectors as the prime sectors for analyzing the risk and return of the

    companies listed in NSE.

    Automobile sector

    The Indian automotive industry has witnessed an unprecedented boom in recent

    years, owing to the improvement in living standards of the middle class, and a significant

    increase in their disposable incomes. The size of the Indian automotive industry is

    estimated between US$ 120.09 billion and US$ 155.2 billion by 2016. The industry is

    expected to touch the 10 million mark, to which the commercial vehicle segment will be

    a major contributor. Industry experts project the Indian automobile sales growth at a

    compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5 per cent 14009million vehicles by

    2011

    The government spending on infrastructure in roads and airports and higher GDP

    growth in the future will benefit the auto sector in general. In the 2-wheeler segment,

    motorcycles are expected to witness a flurry of new model launches. Though the marketsize is expected to grow by 10% to 12%, competitive pressure could keep prices and

    margins under control. TVS, Honda and Hero Honda are poised to benefit from higher

    demand for un-geared scooters in the urban and rural markets.

    With an estimated 40% of CVs plying on the roads 10 years old, demand for

    HCVs is expected to grow by 7% to 8% over the long term. While the industry is going

    through cyclical hiccups currently, we expect this factor to weaken in the future on

    account of strong structural tailwinds. The privatization of select state transport

    undertakings bodes well for the bus segment.

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    20/70

    Cement sector

    India is the worlds second largest producer of cement The recent boom in

    infrastructure and the housing market has only boosted the cement industry. Adding to

    that an increasing global demand and a flurry of activity in infrastructure projects highways roads, bridges, ports and houses has sparked off a spate of mergers and

    acquisitions in the sector.

    The cement industry is likely to maintain its growth momentum and continue

    growing at around 8% to 9% in the medium to long term. Government initiatives in the

    infrastructure sector and the housing sector are likely to be the main growth drivers.

    During the first half of FY11, a series of huge capacity expansions (through thebrown field or Greenfield route) against a corresponding poor off take in cement demand

    due to subdued construction activity created excess supply, thus putting downward

    pressure on realizations. This has been coupled with significant rises in input costs,

    especially prices of coal and petroleum products. As a result, both the top line and

    bottom-line have been badly hit. Though an excess supply scenario may prevail for some

    time to come, the worst seems to be over following the good monsoon witnessed across

    most parts of the country.

    Good agricultural income will support demand for the commodity despite

    slowdown in the real estate sector. The importance of the housing sector in cement

    demand can be gauged from the fact that it consumes almost 60%-70% of the country's

    cement. If this support wanes, it would impact the growth in consumption of cement,

    leading to demand supply mismatch.

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    21/70

    Information technology sector

    The Indian information technology sector has been instrumental in driving the

    nations economy onto the rapid growth curve According to the Nasscom -Deloitte study,

    the IT industrys contribution to the countrys GDP has increased to a share of 8 2 per

    cent in 2010 as against 5.1 per cent in 2008.

    Indias IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and services

    such as custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), system Integration,

    IT consulting, Application Management, Infrastructure Management services, software

    testing, service-oriented architecture and web services.

    The global IT services market is expected to grow by 4.2% in 2011 as companies

    coming out of recession harness the need for IT to create competitive advantage. With the

    government planning to invest Rs 400 billion on better technology enabled delivery

    mechanisms the addressable market for technology and business outsourcing services in

    India is expected to expand five-fold by 2020 to US$ 90-100 billion.

    The integration of IT-BPO contracts is expected to become more common, as

    clients look out for end-to-end service providers. Companies like Infosys, TCS, Wipro,Mahindra Satyam, HCL Technologies and Emphasis, all of which are also into BPO, will

    benefit from this trend.

    Billing rates will remain stressed in short term; companies are expected to

    preserve their margins through effective cost containment. Lessons learnt during the

    crisis can benefit in the long run. Rupee's volatility against the US dollar and other major

    currencies is expected to remain a major concern for Indian IT companies.

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    22/70

    Pharmaceuticals sector

    The Indian pharmaceutical sector is witnessing tremendous growth with the

    contract research and clinical trials businesses taking wings, and the new patent regime

    opening new avenues for players in the country. The pharmaceutical companies in India

    have carved a place for themselves globally-consistently striving to innovate and make

    healthcare affordable across all sections of society, with a focus on people who are most

    deprived of it, causing the industry to grow faster and at the same time giving people

    longer and healthier lives.

    The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks 4 th in terms of volume (with an 8 per

    cent share in global sales) globally. In terms of value it ranks 13 th (with a share of 3 per cent in global sales) and

    produces 20- 24 per cent of the worlds generic drugs (in terms of value)

    The Indian pharmaceutical industry ranks 17 th with respect to exports value of

    bulk actives and dosage.

    The product patents regime heralds an era of innovation and research resulting in

    the launch of new patented product launches. In the longer run, domestic companies

    would face fresh competition from MNCs, as they would make aggressive new launches.

    However, the latter would most likely be subject to price negotiation

    Drugs having estimated sales of over US$ 108 billion are expected to go off patent

    between CY09 and CY13. With the governments in the developed markets looking to cut

    down healthcare costs by facilitating a speedy introduction of generic drugs into the

    market, domestic pharmacy companies will stand to benefit. However, despite this huge

    promise, intense competition and consequent price erosion would continue to remain a

    cause for concern.

    The life style segments such as cardiovascular, anti-diabetes and anti-depressants

    will continue to be lucrative and fast growing owing to increased urbanization and

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    23/70

    change in lifestyles. Growth in domestic sales in the future will depend on the ability of

    companies to align their product portfolio towards the chronic segment.

    Contract manufacturing and research (CRAMS) is expected to gain momentum

    going forward. India's competitive strengths in research services include English-

    language competency, availability of low cost skilled doctors and scientists, large patient

    population with diverse disease characteristics and adherence to international quality

    standards. As for contract manufacturing, both global innovators and generic majors are

    finding it profitable to outsource production. Although there has been a considerable

    slowdown in this area, the scenario is expected to improve going forward as the pressure

    to prune costs increases.

    Power sector

    The power sector has been in the forefront of lightning up the India growth story.

    As the economy continues to surge ahead, electrification and electricity services have

    been expanding concomitantly to support the growth rate.

    Today, the Indian power system with its extensive regional grids-fast maturing into an integrated national grid and its millions of kilometers of transmission and

    distribution lines crises-crossing the country, are truly symbolic of the successes of

    Indias economic growth Indias electricity generation capacity has been increasing

    continuously to meet the needs of the rapidly growing economic activity of the country.

    Source wise, thermal power plants accounted for an overwhelming 64.6 per cent

    of the total installed capacity. Within this group, coal, gas and oil based thermal power

    plants accounted for 53.3 per cent, 10.5 per and 0.9 per cent, respectively.

    Recognizing that electricity is one of the key drivers for rapid economic growth

    and poverty alleviation, the industry has set itself the target of providing access to all

    households over the next few years. As per government reports, about 44% of the

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    24/70

    households did not have access to electricity. Hence, meeting the target of providing

    universal access is a daunting task requiring significant addition to generation capacity

    and expansion of the transmission and distribution network.

    Restoration of the financial health of SEBs and improvement in their operating

    performance continue to remain a critical issue in the power sector.

    On an overall basis, power distribution has been loss-making business in India.

    But with the privatization coming in, the investment in transmission and distribution

    networking is expected to improve

    1.4 Review of literature

    Giewosz. G (1996) describes the use of accounting and other information in the

    share investment decision process of an institutional investor. The focus is on qualitative

    data, as revealed in the report as in the directors speech.

    Rather than on qualitative data. He has concluded that the significance of

    qualitative data as an information source to serving in a confirmatory role. Furthermore,

    rather than a source of information the annual report also acts as a stimulus for

    identifying specific questions.

    Warner J.B and Wruchk K.H (1998) re-iterate the influence of management

    change on stock prices. The scrutiny of management reputation should consider whether

    the management is strong, growth oriented, professional, the nature of its goal and

    principles and so on the past behavior pattern of management actions are a food clue to

    assess these qualities of the management. Each company would have faced adverse

    situations at one time or the other. A strong, professional team would have faced the

    adversity better. The market position of the company should be analyzed in terms of the

    product or service that it gives or provides to the community The companys goals and

    values will be revealed through an analysis of the image the these products and service

    carry to the customer. Good customer reputation automatically implies that the company

    is doing also.

    Malkiel and Cragg (1998) studied the effect of historical growth of earnings

    dividend payout ratio and the stocks rate of return relative to the market in determining

    P/E earnings growth was found to have a positive effect on the P/E the closer a stocks

    return followed that of the market; the more negative the P/E effect. The dividend payout

    effect was not clear in some years, the higher the payout the higher the P/E, but this was

    not true for all years.

    28/70

    Bernard V and Stober T (1991) have reported empirical evidence on the use of

    these statements in predicting stock market returns. These performance indicators are also

    linked to the shares through ratio analysis to evaluate performance for investment

    purposes. The important measures are earnings per share, dividend per share, yield pmshare, piece earnings multiples and so on. Earnings per share are the net profit divided by

    the total number of shares. Dividing the dividend distributed by the total number of

    shares. The actual earnings per share paid to the investor are arrived at through this ratio.

    Yield on shares (Yield) is dividend per share divided by market price per share. This is a

    measure of return on shares in terms of capital appreciation. Price earrings ratio(P/E) is

    defined as the closing market price of the share divided by the reported earnings per share

    for the latest period. Low P/E s is typically associated with low earnings growth andcyclical businesses, and high P/E ratio is associated with the high earnings growth and

    non cyclical businesses.

    White beck and kisor (2001) studied a number of stocks over the same time span.

    They speculated the difference in P/E ratios between stocks could be explained by (1)

    projected earnings growth, (2) expected dividend payout and (3) the variation in the rate

    of earnings growth, or growth risk. They applied their statistical technique to a cross

    section of 135 stocks to explain difference in individual P/E ratios. They concluded that

    P/E is an increasing function of growth and payout and inversely related to the variation

    in the growth rate.

    Bower and Bower (2002) used the same approach for a different time period with

    another sample of firms. They used earnings growth and payout as variables but dividend

    risk into subcomponents including marketability of the stock, its price variability and its

    conformity with the market.

    ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

    Methodology of calculating risk:

    Share price movements of selected companies, traded in national stock exchange

    during the year 18 th March 2011 to 18 th May 2011 were taken for calculating risk and

    return. Total of five sectors, a total of twenty five companies were selected for the study.

    The five sectors are automobile, cement, information technology, pharmaceuticals and

    power sector. Share price movements for Three months trading were taken for eachcompany.

    3.1 Calculation of Alpha and Beta

    First, the value of beta is calculated for every company by applying the formula

    N xy (x) (y)

    Beta =

    N x2 (x) 2

    Where, x = market return, y = stock return, N = no. of days

    Let us take the example of the company TVS Motors

    Sum of Market Return(X) and Stock Return(Y) is calculated. The value of X is

    calculated by applying the formula.

    Current day index Previous day indexX = X 100

    Previous day index

    5373.7 - 5446.65

    = X 100 = 1.33936

    5446.65

    The value of Y is calculated by applying the formula

    Current day Price Previous day Price

    Y = X 100

    Previous day Price

    57.35 - 58.5

    = X 100 = 1.96581

    58.5

    In this example we have got the value of X = 1.33936 and Y = 1.96581, for the

    period of 18 th March 2011 to 18 th May, 2011 same formula is applied to calculate the

    value of X and Y.

    Then we have to calculate the sum of XY and X 2. Let us take the example of TVS

    Motors.

  • 7/31/2019 finance,investor behaviour in equity market

    34/70

    The calculated values are

    x -0.237349 y 9.860585 xy 57.91949 x2 = 48.48161, N = 41

    By substituting these values in the formula of Beta we get the value of

    41 (57.91949) (0.237349X 9.860585)

    Beta = = 1.193525688

    41 (48.48161) (0.237349) 2

    Beta describes the relationship between the stocks return and the market return. In

    the above example, Beta indicated that one percent change in NSE index return would

    cause 1.1935 percent changes in the TVS Stock return.

    Then the value of Alpha is calculated by applying the formula.

    A y (x )Where x Average of arket return beta value y Average value of tock return

    The calculated value is

    x 0.005789 y 0.240502079 1.193525688

    By substituting we get the alpha value for TVS Motors

    = ( 0.240502079) (1.193525688X 0.005789)

    = 0.2335972

    After calculating the value of Alpha and Beta, expected market return for every

    company is calculated. The formula is

    Ex ected M rket Return (R) + (x)

    Where, x is risk less return.

    Here the value of x is taken as 6.25., since State Bank of India gives 6.25%

    interest for 180days fixed deposit.

    3.4 Calculation of Systematic risk and Unsystematic risk

    After calculating the variance has to calculate systematic risk and unsystematic

    risk. The formula for systematic risk is as follows:

    System tic risk 2 * Variance of Market index

    For example TVS Motors

    = (1.194) 2 * 1.182 =1.684

    Unsystematic risk = Total risk Systematic risk

    = 6.048 - 1.684

    = 4.363

    Among the 25 companies the most profitable company is Tata Motors which

    earns the Return of 9.562% but it involves high risk. So investors who arewilling to take more risk can go for Tata Motors and get the maximum return.

    The moderate risk takers can opt to M&M, Ambuja cements and HCL Tech

    which yields High returns more than the risk taken by the Investors.

    67/70

    The Low risk takers can go for Tata Power, Biocon, JB Chemicals and HCL

    Infosys because these companies returns are higher when compared to the risk

    taken.

    Investors who like to have higher returns when compared to the risk taken cango for Pharmaceutical Sectors where all the companies have positive Alpha.

    The high risk takers can opt to Automobile sector where the risk is high and as

    well as the returns are also high.

    Investors can opt to the companies where the Alpha value is positive like Tata

    Motors, Hero Honda, M&M, Ambuja Cements, HCL Infosys, HCL Tech, TCS

    and Neyvelli lignite where whatever the risk taken by them will have high

    returns than the risk taken. The safest companies are Hero Honda, JB Chemicals, Ranbaxy, Biocon and
