EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1

INVESTMENT SCENARIO An investment refers to the commitment of funds at present, in

anticipation of some positive rate of return in future. Today the spectrum of investment is indeed wide. An investor is confronted with array of investment avenues. Among all investment, investment in equity is best high proportion. This is because the history of stock market world over is booms and bursts over night millionaires an instant pauper.

An Indian stock market has been no different. Memories of its crash of December 1990 are still there in the minds of many. After record rise in proceeding few years the index fell precipitously and investor loss heavily. This phenomenon repeated every now and then. Though the equity cult is fast spreading among the investor the hard fact is majority of stocks continue to remain volatile to date. All these are pointers to the fact that the investor market is no longer holding an olive branch to investor in equity. Much of the danger associated with it can be avoided and it need not be such nerve raking experience, provided one approaches it as a rational decision making process. In short Security analysis and portfolio management are hard work, requiring deciplene and patience, and the work is not always rewarded with exceptional returns.

INTRODUCTION TO THE CONCEPT OF

1.1.1

SECURITY ANALYSIS An investment is a commitment of funds made in expectation of some positive rate of return in future. An investor makes some sacrifice in the present in the hope of desiring benefits in future. The motive behind investment varies from person to person. Some people invest in order to gain a sense of power or prestige. Often the control of corporate enterprises is a driving motive. For most investor however their interest in investment is largely pecuniary to earn a return on their money. But the return on stock market security is subject to risk. Risk incase refers to the uncertainty surrounding actual realization of the rate of return offered by an investment. The time element refers to period of waiting required to reap the return. Accordingly early investment decision has three key aspects. They are, 

Return

Risk

Time

There fore, investment process must be considered in terms above aspects. One should approach any scheme of investment as a rational decision making process, in which he should attempt to select a package of portfolio securities that meets predetermined set of goals. These investors goal are usually expressed in terms of return. Almost all the cases, the hard fact is that return and risk are inseparable. Further the maximum higher the return the grater t6he risk. Therefore the ultimate decisions to be made in the investment are two.  What securities to be held  How many rupees should be allocated to each.

These decisions are made in three steps. 1. Security analysis 2. Security evaluation 3. Portfolio analysis, selections and management. Securities are marketable financial instruments that bestow on their owners the right to make specific claims on particular assets. An individual security provides evidence of their creditor ship or ownership depending on whether it is bond or stock, respectively. A bond is loan that is paid off with interest; the investor lends money to the borrowing company that issued bond. In contrast, stock ownership represents a cash investment a future of a corporation; the investor owns a part of a corporation and share in its profits.

SECURITY ANALYSIS (a)

Traditional investment analysis, when applied to securities, emphasizes

projection of prices and dividends. That is, the potential prices of a firm’s common stock and future dividend stream are forecast, then discounted back to the present. (b)

Basically modern security analysis deeply rooted in the fundamental

concept. But the more modern approach to common stock analysis emphasizes risks and return estimate rather than mere price and dividend estimates, ofcourse dependent on share price and accompanying the dividend stream.

SECURITY EVALUATION It refers to the act of assessing the true worth of security. Before committing the fund on stock exchange securities, the investor should make thorough comparison of the prices of the security with its true value. The price refers to the price quoted for the security at the stock exchange at a given movement of time. Value refers to the intrinsic worth. Only with the help of such evaluation the investor can decide as to buy hold or sell.

DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO EVALUATION There are essentially three approaches or school of thoughts on the matter of security price evaluation, classified as (a)

Fundamental Approach

The concept of time value of money is the business of this approach. Money has a time value. A rupee now is worth more than rupee a year from now. For different securities, future benefits may me received at different times. Even when the amount of future payment is the same, differences in the speed of their receipt may create differences in value. Time value of money suggests that earlier receipt is more desirable than later receipt, even when the both are equal in the amount of certainty. Because, earlier receipt can be re invested to generate additional returns before later receipt come in. The force operating is the principle of compound interest.

Framework: The proper order in which to proceed in Fundamental analysis is, first to analyze the overall economy and securities markets. Second, analyze the industry with in which a particular company operates. Finally, analysis of

the company should be considered. The above analysis involves making a careful estimate of expected stream of benefits and required return of common stock. The intrinsic value then can be obtained through the present value analysis – that is, the dividend discounts model. An alternative method of valuation is the P/E ratio or earning multiplier approach. Economic Analysis Industry Analysis Company Analysis Strategic considerations of economic, industry and company analyses are as follows (1)

Economic Analysis 1. A study of economic trends as indicated by rate of growth in gross national product, employment, aggregate corporate profits, interest rate, exchange rates, savings and investments, monsoon positions. 2. An analysis of the relationship between economic trends and economic policies and the stability of such relationships. 3. A study of world economic trends and their impact on Indian economy.

(2)

Industry Analysis 1. Implications of projected growth in gross national product for various industries. 2. Implications of plan priorities and plan expenditure for various industries. 3. Vulnerability of an industry for government regulations, and control of prices and production. 4. Implications of industrial and fiscal policies of government for an industry. 5. Analysis of competitive conditions as reflected in any barriers to entry.

(3)

Company Analysis 1. Trend analyses of company’s market share. 2. An analysis of turn over of assets, operating and production efficiencies through ratio analysis. 3. Leverage and coverage ratio analysis. 4. An analysis of book value per share. 5. An assessment of quality of management 6. An analysis of price –to –earning multiples. 7. An analysis of growth in sales and dividends.

The basis tenets of this approach are as follows: Each share has an intrinsic value. It can be determined by discounting the future stream of benefits that does accrue to the holder of the security. For instance if rupees 100 now is = rupees 100 + R after one year. Where R is the rate of return then the next question is if we get rupees hundred after one year how much is it worth now. Rupees 100 + R after one year = 100 now. Therefore rupees 100 after one year = 100/100 + R and if R = 12 % then 100/112 = .0893.

(b)

Technical Approach

Technical analysis is an alternative approach to predicting the stocks price behavior. Technical analysis is frequently used as a supplement to fundamental analysis rather than as a substitute for it. Thus technical analysis can frequently does, confirm findings based on fundamental analysis.

Administrative Management College

A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

Technical analysis is viewed mainly through price and volume statistics. It helps in measuring price – volume, supply – demand relationship for overall market as well as for individual stocks. Technicians seldom rely upon a single indicator, as no one indicator is infallible; they place reliance upon reinforcement provided by groups of indicators.

(c)

Modern Approach

Markovitize led down the foundation for this approach in 1951. He studied capital market with the help of fairly sophisticated method of investigation and in general arrived at the following conclusions.

 Stock markets are reasonably efficient in reacting quickly and rationally to the flow of information.  Successive price changes are independent. As a result past price behavior cannot be used to predict future price behavior.  In the capital market, there is a positive relation ship between the risk and return. This indicates, in general, investment in several securities would reduce the variability of return and hence the risk ness of a portfolio.

GROWTH VS VALUE Generally, investors follow two types of investing namely growth or value while they deal with investments. Fundamentally these two styles of investing are not alike and hence they take a different approaches.

(a)

GROWTH PERCEPTION

Administrative Management College

7


A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

(i)

The general perception of growth investing is to invest in companies

that can grow earning at a faster rate than the overall market. The theory is that if you buy this companies securities, overtime, their stock prices will reflect earning growth and trade accordingly. The criterion in selecting companies boils down to three P’s.  People  Prospects  Price (ii)

The most important thing is the business itself. Normally, companies that

command high profit margin and high return on invested capital is alone considered for investment under this style of investing. (iii)

Growth investors are almost agnostic about the economy. In theory, growth

company should be able to deliver strong earnings growth whether the economy is weak or strong. This ability highlights the inherent strength of companies. But growth is full of landmines as a companies disappoint.

(b)

VALUE PERCEPTION

The value perception is more focused on buying shares quoted low in the market. The appreciations potential for value investor come with the market realization the intrinsic value in a company. Accordingly investors buy shares that are quoted in the market and sell it the moment the market value cross the intrinsic value.

1.2

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Value investing is more quantitative than qualitative. It has more to do

with tangible numbers, balance sheets, and assets and near term earning power. All

available information about a company is subject to a thorough scrutiny before deciding about the intrinsic worth of the shares. Consequently there is less volatility in value. While macro economic theory has helped to develop risk factors like interest rate risk, purchasing power risk, market risk and such alike; the theory of the firm helped in delineating factors like firm’s cash dividend yield, beta coefficient as a numeric surrogates for security’s quality rating, This is the area where the present work focuses on. The security investment involves several type of risk diversifiable as well as non-diversifiable. While the risk of a security is nothing but the likelihood of the return turning out to be more or less than the expected, the total risk of an asset may be perceived as being the sum of several different contributing risk factors like interest rate fluctuations, market cyclical, purchasing power instability and so on. As mentioned Donald E. Fisher and Ronald J. Joeden.

1.2.1

BETA COEFFICIENT

(a)

Beta measures non-diversifiable risk. It shows how the price of a

security response to market forces. It is calculated by relating the returns on the security with returns for the market. Thus the beta coefficient or simply beta is a measure of sensitivity of a stock’s price relative to the fluctuations of some particular stock market index. A volatile has high beta, a low risk share price generally has beta. If the stock moves exactly in tandem with the market index such as the BSE index, it is said to have of a beta of one.

Administrative Management College

A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

(b)

A stock with a beta higher than one is called an aggressive stock, if this

stock beta is less than one the stock is called a defensive one. Aggressive stock has more undiversifiable risk than average stocks and their price fluctuate with greater volatility than market.

SIGNIFICANCE

β>1 If the stocks have tripled than the market index has doubled the stock is considered to be highly sensitive and its beta could be greater than one.

β=1 If the stocks performance exactly matches with that of the index then the beta of the stock would be equal to one.

β<1 If the stocks appreciation is only 75% compared to 100% appreciation in the market index, the stocks is less sensitive and would be less than one. 1.2.2

LEVERAGES

The employment of assets or sources of funds for which the firm has to pay a fixed cost or fixed return may be termed as leverage. If earning before interest and taxes exceed the fixed return requirement the leverage is called favorable. When they do not the leverage is unfavorable. The Operating Leverage indicates how sensitive profits are to changes in sales. The Financial leverage measures how fixed financial charges used for magnifying the effects of changes in EBIT on earning per share.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM If the investor says,“ I have to earn more profit in securities”, the

market says, “ I give same weight of risk”. However, in many instances, investor could reduce the risk associated with securities through proper analysis and by taking correct step of measurement activities for reducing the risk and increasing the profit in security investment. Many invest insecurities by their emotional forces and many invest with out analyzing economic conditions, budget decisions, industry growth rates and company factors. Finally, they end up with losses. Of course, no one can predict the uncertainty factors like September 11 attack in 2001. Despite these factors investors could reduce the risk associated with securities through analyzing the security properly. How much the economic factors could influence the stock market? whether positively or negatively have the relationship with the stock market movements. Answering these questions enables the investors to have the perspective about the overall economy and stock markets. If the economy prosperous, the industries with in the economy also may also be prosperous although few may be in the bad shape. Which industry is really having the potentiality for growth? Knowing these factors through comparing performances between the industry enables the investors to compare the industries and finally cam select the company which is having the opportunity for growth.

2.2 a)

SCOPE OF THE STUDY The security analysis starts from broad environmental factors to the industry,

which influences the share price and finally analyzing the company’s potentiality by considering possible risks associated with securities.

b)

Since share price of the company is empirically found to depend up to 50% on

the performance of the industry and the economy, studying those related field provide insights for selecting the securities. c)

Budget plays a significant role while selecting the industry, as it may create a

opportunity for one industry and may not for other, the analyzing impact of budget plan and its polices is important. d)

As research studies shows more than 35% of the share price movements

depend on the company’s performance. So, analyzing the companies’ potential growth through ratio analysis provides the valuable insights. Comparability between the companies enables the investors selecting particular securities.

2.3 a)

NEED FOR THE STUDY Investment is the commitment of fund expectation of some positive rate of

return always associated with risk, may be diversifiable, non diversifiable or both. For reducing the risk & increasing the return, the analyzing the security is must. b)

Reducing the bias with the security investments through proper analyzing the

securities return that provides more weight only when analyzing through top down approach–economy, industry & company, which helps to select the potential growth industries. c)

As each investor has his own preferences & choice of investments for their

returns and risks associated with the securities he or she can adapt the suitable securities for them, security analysis that also enables for getting better portfolio

REVIEW OF LITERATURE Non-current accounts and Bombay Stock Exchange Sensitive

(SENSEX) Index on month-to-month basis for the said period constituted the database. The company fundamentals and monthly share prices for 17 years of study period supported the conduct of the present study. Reports that industrial production, productivity, money supply and unemployment rates are consistently influencing the share returns, Chen et. al., (1996) proposes that the unexpected inflation, industrial production, changes in risk premiums, etc., are crucial in Asset pricing. In a recent study Chen and Jorden (2002) finds inflation, interest rates on government bonds, industrial production, oil prices, etc., are germanein asset prices. In Indian environment, the study conducted by Rajan

Mookerjee (1998) observes weak linkages between changes in GDP and stock prices, Malathy Prabhakaran, (1999), Rao and Bhole (2001), Choudhari (1998) and others studied the impact of agriculture on stock prices and report conflicting results. A comprehensive study on these Economic variables is awaited in Indian context.

2.6 a)

RESEARCH DESIGN Since the study is principally intended to examine the potential growth of

securities, which might be affected of different risk variables on security returns, a sample of 4 industries, and selecting the profitable scrip through selecting potential growth industries, whose scrips are actively traded during the period 1998 to 2003 has been considered. In order to identifying the influence of exogenous variables of economy and market in security prices information on different indicators like Gross domestic product, Monsoon, Money supplies, Fiscal deficit etc. And for the market observation Sensex has been used.

b)

For analyzing the relationship between economic indicators and stock market

movement, the correlation tools has been used, and selecting the industry by comparing their sales growth, dividend and its ratios has been comparatively analyzed. On the other hand, groups of 18 financial ratios capturing the Size, Dividend

Policy,

Leverage,

Productivity,

Liquidity,

Profitability,

Earnings

Variability, P/E ratios and Certain Growth Variables constituted the company specific fundamentals of financial risk variables. The estimation of ‘Accounting Beta’ (the ratio of EPS of a firm in relation to the average EPS of all firms), Sales, and Earnings have been measured as linear growth rates the testing period of most recent five-year period.

2.10 OPERATIONAL DEFFINITIONS Economic Analysis Economic analysis refers to analyze the factors or indicators of the economy that affects the stock market. This is also called non-diversifiable risk analysis where the risk associated with the securities can not be diversified.

Industry analysis Industry analysis refers to analyze the plan, priorities and vulnerability of an industry for government regulations. The competitive conditions as reflected in any barriers to industry also taken in to consideration.

Company Analysis Company analysis includes analyze the company as potentiality for growth, present performance, risk associated with securities are considered as important.

Correlation Correlation is a statistical measure of the degree to which the security returns move together. The positive correlation means the variables move together. The negative correlation suggests that move in opposite direction and zero correlation shows that no tendency to very either positive or negative direction.

Leverage The employment of an asset or source of funds for which the firm has pay fixed cost or fixed return may be termed as leverage •

Operating leverage is the firms ability to use fixed operating charges to magnify the effects of changes in sales units earning before interest and taxes.

•

Financial leverages is the firms ability to use fixed financial charges to magnify the effects of changes in earning before interest and tax on the earning per share.

Beta It measures the sensitivity of the return of a security to changes in returns to the market portfolio. It may be positive or negative. The positive beta measures that if 1% changes market index, more than 1% in individual security and vice versa.

2.11 a)

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY The economy and industry are so wide and comprehensive that is difficult to

encompass all the likely factors influencing to be captured in any set of possible indicators. b) c)

Besides, the study has the limitation of the time and resources. Again the study has limited to four big industries and many other sub industries

within the industries and small units have been left out. Hence, the applicability of the study is limited to that extent. d)

Finally the study is not free from inherent limitation of collection and analysis

of the sources of the data.

2.12

OVERVIEW OF THE REPORT Chapter one started with the introduction of the concept of security

analysis, where the investment scenario in the security takes place. The introduction part explains about different approaches to the security that is the fundamental approach, modern approach and technical approach. And investor’s perception about the characteristics of growth and the value associated with securities. Then the second part explains the background of the study, where the different theories and tools like leverages and betas are supported for studying securities.

A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

The second chapter starts with the statement of the problem for studying security and explains the areas of the analysis. And it covers source of the data literature review and operation definition of the study. The third chapter deals with the profile of the respondents. It highlights the economy of India, industries and the companies. In industries, it deals with growth rate of sales and dividend of four industries namely, Computer and Software, Pharmaceutical, Cement, and Automobile industries and also analysis of government policies that affects performances. The export performance and competitive positions of said industries provides the guidelines about the future of industries. And come to the companies, it provides overview of four companies in computer and software industry, namely Infosys, Satyam, Wipro and HCL. The share holding patterns of each company brief history sales growth and earning per share provides the overview of those companies. Then in analysis part it deals with primarily the global economy, especially the NASDAQ and NSE`s relationship of movements, where the Indian stock market no longer be limited to the Indian situation. It also deals with the analysis of the economic factor affect to the stock market. In the second part of analyzing, analyzing industries through comparison of different ratios, sales and dividend growth that helps to select the appropriate industry which out perform other industries. The third part emphasizes on the companies within the Computer and Software industry, where comparison between Infosys, Satyam, Wipro, and HCL which are all highly traded in that related industry in the stock market, guides the investor for selecting appropriate security which is really doing well than other selected companies.

Finally, the conclusions and suggestions at the end provides the proper guidelines which is drawn after analyzing the economy, industries and company enables the investors getting perspective above overall better performance industry and company.

OVERVIEW OF THE ECONOMY

3.1

A top down analysis of the firm’s prospects must start with a global economy. The international economy might affect a firm’s export prospects, the price competition it faces from competitors, or profit it makes from abroad. Certainly, despite the fact that the economies of most countries are linked with global economy, there is considerable variation in the economic performance across countries at any time. Given the degree of openness to trade and investment, it is a well-accepted fact that the national markets are inter-related and increasingly global. When making decisions, traders incorporate information pertaining to price movements and volatility in the asset they are trading including information about related assets. The movement of markets in rhythm and chorus could nullify much of the gain out of diversification across borders, besides being vulnerable to the caprices of global capital. Companies are part of the industrial and business sector, which in turn is a part of the overall economy. Thus, the performance of the company depends of the performance of the economy in the first place. If the economy is in recession or stagnation, centeris paribus, the performance of the company will be bad in general or vise versa. Since India started deregulating its financial markets in the post-liberalization phase, her integration with the international financial markets has been proceeding rapidly. Based on the observations it has been concluded that in the post-liberalization

Administrative Management College

20


A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

era, international financial market integration has accelerated, though not yet complete. Indian stock markets have come of age where they have seamlessly joined themselves with other international stock markets and no longer the stock prices in India are governed only by the events of the local importance. As per research studies so far, nearly 50% of the stock prices changes can be attributed to market influences, which are general and caused by the economic, and industry factors. It is therefore important that any stock market investment is preceded by economic analysis and industry analysis.

Economic conditions are non-diversifiable risk. It applies to all the industries, But some industries are expanding while others are stagnant and some contracting depending on the demand and market conditions. The investor has to choose growth industry from industries, and then choose the scrip under valued and judged by study and analysis.

PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRIES

The forgoing section in this report had a perspective of overall Economy in India. The next step is to analyze particular industry and compare them for selecting potential growth industry. Once the economics analysis is over; getting the prospects of the likely trend in the economy, analyzing the industry would be taken importance, knowing which groups are promising in the coming year makes possible better entry into the company. There is however, no perfect correlation between the economy and the industry on one hand and of industries and companies on the other. India has mixed economy, where private and public sectors play a complementary role and promote a planned development. Since the initiation of the

reforms in 1991, even foreign enterprises and MNCs given a due role to play in the development of the economy. As per the latest policy barring about 18 scheduled industrial groups, others are both open to public and private sector. But as the security market comprise only marketable securities

and they are mostly form private

corporate sector and pubic undertakings which are being shifted to the joint sector. Many financial services are thrown open to foreign sector now.

3.2.1

COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE INDUSTRY Indian software industry has a mix of a few large companies and

several small to medium sized companies. Currently 37 Indian companies have exports of more than Rs1billion. These few large companies would however be classified as small companies by US standards. First generation entrepreneurs, who had limited access to finance and low risk taking capability, operate most of these large companies. Smaller companies, which are also typically entrepreneur run companies, have a similar potential to strike it rich. (a)

Competitive Advantage- Low Cost and Location

Much of India's strong growth in software in the past is attributable to the low cost of Indian programmers. Indian programmers repaid only about 15-20% of his/ her counterpart in developed nations. Even among competing countries Indian software professionals were paid the least. India enjoys a location advantage. The advantage it enjoys over other countries is a 12-hour difference with the world's largest market the USA. This enables US companies to establish round the clock software factories by subcontracting to Indian companies.

Export Performance

The performance of the Indian software and service exports sector for the first three quarters, April to December 2002, FY 2002-03, the survey revealed that software and services exports from India generated revenues of Rs. 34,000 crores in April-Dec, 2002. This was up from Rs. 26,600 crores for the corresponding period in the previous year, and represented a growth of 28% over the same period last year. (c)

Government Policies

Government policies so far have been favorable to software companies. If tax exemption on exports is withdrawn it could affect software companies adversely. WTO regards tax exemptions on exports as an indirect subsidy and hence the government may phase out exemption in the near future. Software industry has enjoyed virtually unbridled liberty to conduct its business in the best possible manner. Government has also encouraged the industry by providing tax benefits to exporters.

PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY

The pharmaceutical industry is knowledge driven industry and is heavily dependent on Research and Development for new products and growth. However, basic research (discovering new molecules) is a time consuming and expensive process and is thus, dominated by large global multinationals. Global pharmaceutical market, western markets are the largest and fastest growing due to introduction of newer molecules at high prices. A well-established reimbursement and insurance system implies that per capita drug expenditure is a billion normally high in Western Countries as compared to the developing nations.

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is highly fragmented, but has grown rapidly due to the friendly patent regime and low cost manufacturing structure. Intense competition, high volumes and low prices characterize the Indian domestic market. Exports have been rising at around 30% over last five years.

CEMENT INDUSTRY The installed capacity of the industry reached 135mn tons in FY02.

The industry has added capacity of around 14mn tons during the year. India is the second largest producer of cement after China. But the present per capita cement consumption is around 82kgs as against the world average of 255kgs. This lower per capita consumption presents a good opportunity for growth of cement industry in future. The industry is expected to grow at a rate of 7-8% in FY03. The slowdown of industrial growth witnessed in FY 2000, continued in FY01. The growth in terms of Index of Industrial Production was 2.3% as compared to 5.8% in the previous year. Industrial slowdown hit all the major sectors.

(a)Exports Performance The cement sector is relatively insulated from international markets. This is largely due to inadequate infrastructure to carry on international trade. This is amply borne out by the fact that cement accounts for not more than 0.20% of total world exports From a peak of 2.68mn tons in 1997-98, cement exports from India have slid down to 2.06mn tons in 1998-99. However the situation has improved gradually. In FY02 the exports were 2.77mn tons as against 2.37mn tons in FY01, an increase by 16.87%. (b)Competitive Position India is the world’s second largest cement producing country after China. The industry is characterized by a high degree of fragmentation that has created intense competitive pressure on price realizations. Spread across the length and breadth of the country, there are 120 large plants belonging to 56 companies with an installed capacity of around 135mn tons as on March 2002. (c)Government Policy Given the role the government has in fixing key input costs, it is very difficult for a company to minimize costs beyond a point. The key driver of profitability is cement prices, which fluctuate depending on outlook on demand-supply gaps.

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY Since commercial vehicles sales have a linkage with industrial growth

and diesel prices, the demand may fall on account purchase deferment due to prolonged uncertainties in respect of fuel prices and uniform sales taxes. The crude oil has grown by 0.6% in the current fiscal and the sustained increase in the global crude oil prices has led to a hefty increase in the diesel prices. (a)Government Policy After the rationalization of excise duty in the budget 2001-02; the special excise duty for CVs is levied at 16% and total duty is pegged at 32%. The differential in duty structure also affects the demand for respective segments e.g. differential duty Administrative Management College

provisions between 8-seater and 10-seater changed the demand for each of the segments. Over and above state governments charge sales tax and control to effect the final prices to customer. In the current year, uniform sales tax to the tune of 12% has been levied in all the states across India. (i)Policy

on Scrapping of Old Vehicles:

The recent notification by judicial body to ban commercial vehicles above 20 years in age in New Delhi will lead to a demand for at least 15,000 vehicles to be satisfied in short period of time. If similar measures are implemented in other parts of the country will boost demand for new vehicles.

A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

In recent years, globalization of capital flows hassled to the growing relevance of emerging capital markets and India is one of the countries with an expanding stock market that is increasingly attracting funds from the FIIs. In particular, deregulation and market Liberalization measures, rapid developments in communication technology and computerized trading systems, and increasing activities of multi national corporations have accelerated the growth of Indian capital market. From 1999 onwards, Indian firms are raising capital from the US market by listing themselves in US exchanges.

The economic dailies as well as official publications have been full of stories of a newfound alliance between the NSE and the NASDAQ. Through these news reports, market regulators, traders, and the general investing public in India have become sensitized to the US stock market movements. Finally, a quick examination of stock market movements of these two markets suggests that there exists a substantial degree of inter dependence between the US and Indian stock market indices.

A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

The experts opinion on the utility of beta is not unanimous. The beta was very popular in the seventies. Of late the glamour of beta seems to have faded somewhat. It should also be noted that there is a third variable –economy. Economic events cause systematic change in both security and market index prices. The most logical way to forecast beta is to quantify the relationship between market and security return and these factors.

CONCLUSIONS

Now at the final the following facts emerge from the study security analysis for selecting appropriate security through analyzing economy and industry

Administrative Management College

A Study on Security Analysis for selecting Appropriate security

a)

When come to the economic factors the global economies are getting

interrelated, the Indian market will no longer be limited to domestic economic situation. It is from the evident that the NASDAQ and Nifty are getting correlated from the year 1996-97 onwards.

b)

As far as the Indian economy is concerned, the GDP is the primary factor,

has the positive correlation with the Sensex, which directly affects the overall market and followed by other factor. Where the GDP is forecasted at 6.5% for the present year as compared against 4.3%in the year 2002-03, showing good sign for the stock market.

c)

Agricultural growth rate and the monsoon both has direct influence on stock

market and responsible for the economy to become prospers. It has the correlation 0.50 with the Sensex indicates the stock market would be prospers only when the agriculture grow well.

d)

The exchange rate has the positive correlation with the Sensex. In the resent

trend the value of the rupee is going up, shows positive signs to stock market, as Sensex also associated with that movement. e)

When come to the Industrial Factors, in the year 2003-04 the overall

growth rate of different sector according to CMIE report would be: The growth of service sector would be 7%, same as it was in the previous year 2002-03. On the other hand, growth of industrial sector is forecasted at 4.5% in 2003-04 as against 5.8% in 2002-03. As the service sector is the main part of GDP in the present year 2003-04,

Administrative Management College

88

the Computer and Software industry, which is part of the Service sector is given weight than other Industrial sectors.

f)

When compare the ratios of Computer and software, Cement, Automobile

and Pharmaceutical industries, the computer and software industry provides handsome return to the investors.

g)

Except the computer and software industry, all other industry’s short-term

solvency position is not good. Of course, the remaining ratios also far behind compared Computer and Software industry.

h)

Budgets in the year 2003-04 is more favorable to Cement and Automobile

industries, as infrastructure felicities talk more about road projects estimated to 40,000 crore, which would be made by cement only. But Computer and Software industry is given reasonably flat effect from the budget.

i)

As the main part of the sales in the Computer and Software industry takes

place through export only, it is sensitive to the global economy and has high risk. It is also from the fact that the September 11 attack in 2001, many software companies has been affected than any other industries. Even though the above factors Computer and Software industry is selected where it shows better opportunities for growth than other industries.

SUGGESTIONS After a close scrutiny of economy industries and companies in considering

the risk, it may be recommended that international economy might affects the firms export prospects, the price competition it faces from competitors, or the profit it makes from abroad. Certainly, despite the fact that the economies of most countries are linked with the global economy, there is a considerable variation in the economic performance across the different countries at any time, investor should properly analyze both globally and domestically before taking investment decision.

b)

The investor also should consider the budget decision and present years

forecast of different sectors. Comparisons between the different is also necessary because of companies perform well when potential opportunity exists for industry.

c)

Even though the industry may perform well, the companies in the that

particular industry may suffer form lack of ability or any other factor, one should scrutinize the performance of the company, in considering importantly, sales growth, leverages, betas, P/E ratio and market to book ratios

d)

It may be pointed out that to make out generalization in this regard is

not very easy. This is because of share do not always retaining their lustre. There are several instances of quite blue chip of yester years now languishing in a colorless state. It is the personal intuition, sensing patterns of behavior, there is always something unknown and undiscerned. So the points to be noted are ♌ No one should purchase on whim. ♌ Investment in shares is a serious business.

e)

However, there are such things as a final answer to security values, a dozens

experts arrive at twelve different conclusions. Market values are fixed only in part by balance sheet and income statement; much more by hopes and fears of humanity; by greed, by act of god, where the investor should carefully consider the emotional factors influence the market.

f)

Of all the systems, the researcher is of the view that fundamental analysis

even today holds good. It demands, may insist on information about the company. It
