ABSTRACT

For every company there is need of the large capital for making investment in business. In order to get that

large capital, the company will come for the public issue. When the company comes for public issue, people

will invest money in that specific stock. Here, Investment is defined as an activity that commits funds in any

financial form in the present with an expectation of receiving additional return in the future.

The expectations bring with it a probability that the quantum of return may vary from a minimum to a

maximum. This possibility of variation in the actual return is known as investment risk. Thus every

investment involves a certain amount of return and risk.

Risk analysis is a technique to identify and assess factors that may jeopardize the success of a project or

achieving a goal. This technique also helps to define preventive measures to reduce the probability of these

factors from occurring and identify countermeasures to successfully deal with these constraints when they

develop to avert possible negative effects on the competitiveness of the company.

Return on Equity (ROE)

Sometimes ROE is referred to as Stockholder's return on investment. It tells the rate that shareholders are

earning on their shares..The rate of interest or dividend may be decided by the company.

ROE = Net Income after Tax

INTRODUCTION

Investment may be defined as an activity that commits funds in any financial form in the present with an

expectation of receiving additional return in the future. The expectations bring with it a probability that the

quantum of return may vary from a minimum to a maximum. This possibility of variation in the actual

return is known as investment risk. Thus every investment involves a return and risk.

Investment is an activity that is undertaken by those who have savings. Savings can be defined as the excess

of income over expenditure. An investor earns/expects to earn additional monetary value from the mode of

investment that could be in the form of financial assets.

Investment

There are a large number of investment avenues for savers in India. Some of them are marketable and

liquid, while others are non-marketable. Some of them are highly risky while some others are almost risk

less.

8

Page 9: Equity Analysis on IT & Banking Final

Investment avenues can be broadly categorized under the following heads:

Corporate Securities:

Joint stock companies in the private sector issue corporate securities. These include equity shares,

preference shares, and debentures. Equity shares have variable dividend and hence belong to the high risk-

high return category; preference shares and debentures have fixed returns with lower risk.

Equity Shares: Equity means equal, Equity shares means distributing the capital equally to the public at

large. These shares may be issued in face value or premiums. The returns may be high or low according to

the company performance. The return may be in terms of dividend or shares.

Preference Shares: Preference means, giving more interest to a particular shareholders who buyed the

preference shares. Comparing to the Equity shares preference shares are more profitable and secure.

Debentures/Bonds: Debentures are also a type of investment like Equity or Preference shares but the

Debentures is for Long Term Investment with fixed interest and time. Whereas Bond is also like Debenture

but compare to Debenture it is more secure where Debenture is not. It is also a long term investment with

fixed interest.

Derivatives: Derivatives is an emerging market on these days comparing to capital market. In Derivatives

we trade all types of commodities like Gold, Silver, Copper, Crude Oil, wheat, Sugar etc., Where as in

9

Page 10: Equity Analysis on IT & Banking Final

capital market we trade only Equity shares. Derivatives is a worldwide market, it may be traded on

Currency, Indexes, Stocks etc.,

The classification of corporate securities that can be chosen as investment can be depicted as shown below:

Need & Significance of the Study

India is one of the fastest growing economies. Recently it touched the growth figure of 7%. It is also the destination

of investment for most of the foreign investors. From the past 3 to 6 years Indian stock markets are making some

remarkable performances. But most of the investors are interested to invest in index stocks i.e. large cap stocks only.

There is a wrong notion that small cap stocks are risky. Upon study on the performance of 50 small cap

stocks revealed that they can also yield good returns provided they have strong fundamentals. So our report on this

study gives an investor a deep insight in the importance of small cap stocks

existence in India is the State Bank of India, a government-owned bank that traces its origins back to June

1806 and that is the largest commercial bank in the country. Central banking is the responsibility of all the

Banks. Reserve Bank of India, which in 1935 formally took over these responsibilities from the then

Imperial Bank of India, relegating it to commercial banking functions. After India's independence in 1947,

the Reserve Bank was nationalized and given broader powers. In 1969 the government nationalized the 14

largest commercial banks; the government nationalized the six next largest in 1980.

Currently, India has 96 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that is

with the Government of India holding a stake), 31 private banks (these do not have government stake; they

may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 38 foreign banks. They have a combined network

of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs.

Equity Trading System in NSE

Trading System

NSE operates on the 'National Exchange for Automated Trading' (NEAT) system, a fully automated screen

based trading system, which adopts the principle of an order driven market. NSE consciously opted in

favour of an order driven system as opposed to a quote driven system. This has helped reduce jobbing

spreads not only on NSE but in other exchanges as well, thus reducing transaction costs.

Trading System - Market Types

The NEAT system has four types of market. They are:

Normal Market

All orders which are of regular lot size or multiples thereof are traded in the Normal Market. For shares that

are traded in the compulsory dematerialised mode the market lot of these shares is one. Normal market

consists of various book types wherein orders are segregated as Regular lot orders, Special Term orders,

Negotiated Trade Orders and Stop Loss orders depending on their order attributes.

Odd Lot Market

All orders whose order size is less than the regular lot size are traded in the odd-lot market. An order is

called an odd lot order if the order size is less than regular lot size. These orders do not have any special

terms attributes attached to them. In an odd-lot market, both the price and quantity of both the orders (buy

and sell) should exactly match for the trade to take place. Currently the odd lot market facility is used for the

47

Page 48: Equity Analysis on IT & Banking Final

Limited Physical Market as per the SEBI directives.

Auction Market

In the Auction Market, auctions are initiated by the Exchange on behalf of trading members for settlement

related reasons. There are 3 participants in this market.

Initiator - the party who initiates the auction process is called an initiator

Competitor - the party who enters orders on the same side as of the initiator

Solicitor - the party who enters orders on the opposite side as of the init

Spot Market

Spot orders are similar to the normal market orders except that spot orders have different settlement periods

vis-à-vis normal market. These orders do not have any special terms attributes attached to them. Currently

the Spot Market is not in use.

Trading System - Order Matching Rules

The best buy order is matched with the best sell order. An order may match partially with another order

resulting in multiple trades. For order matching, the best buy order is the one with the highest price and the

best sell order is the one with the lowest price. This is because the system views all buy orders available

from the point of view of a seller and all sell orders from the point of view of the buyers in the market. So,

of all buy orders available in the market at any point of time, a seller would obviously like to sell at the

highest possible buy price that is offered. Hence, the best buy order is the order with the highest price and

the best sell order is the order with the lowest price.

Members can proactively enter orders in the system, which will be displayed in the system till the full

quantity is matched by one or more of counter-orders and result into trade(s) or is cancelled by the member.

Alternatively, members may be reactive and put in orders that match with existing orders in the system.

Orders lying unmatched in the system are 'passive' orders and orders that come in to match the existing

orders are called 'active' orders. Orders are always matched at the passive order price. This ensures that the

earlier orders get priority over the orders that come in later.

BOMBAY STOCK EXCHANGE

History:

Bombay from the mid-1850s, 1875, was formally organized as the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).In

pre-eminent role in the development of the Indian capital market is widely recognised. It migrated from the

open out-cry system to an online screen-based order driven trading system in 1995. Earlier an Association

Of Persons (AOP), BSE is now a corporatised and demutualised entity incorporated under the provisions of

the Companies Act, 1956, pursuant to the BSE (Corporatisation and Demutualisation) Scheme, 2005

notified by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). With demutualisation, BSE has two of

world's prominent exchanges, Deutsche Börse and Singapore Exchange, as its strategic partners.

Over the past 133 years, BSE has facilitated the growth of the Indian corporate sector by providing it

with cost and time efficient access to resources. There is perhaps no major corporate in India which has not

sourced BSE's services in raising resources from the capital market.

Today, BSE is the world's number 1 exchange in terms of the number of listed companies and the world's

5th in handling of transactions through its electronic trading system. The companies listed on BSE

command a total market capitalization of USD Trillion 1.06 as of July, 2009. BSE reaches to over 400

cities and town nation-wide and has around 4,937 listed companies, with over 7745 scrips being traded as

on 31st July 09.

BSESENSEX

The BSE Index, SENSEX, is India's first and most popular stock market benchmark index. Sensex is

tracked worldwide. It constitutes 30 stocks representing 12 major sectors. The SENSEX is constructed on a

'free-float' methodology, and is sensitive to market movements and market realities. Apart from the

SENSEX, BSE offers 23 indices, including 13 sectoral indices. It has entered into an index cooperation

50

agreement with Deutsche Börse and Singapore Stock Exchange. These agreements have made SENSEX and

other BSE indices available to investors across the globe. Moreover, Barclays Global Investors (BGI), at

Hong Kong, the global leader in ETFs through its iShares® brand, has created the exchange traded fund

(ETF) called 'iShares® BSE SENSEX India Tracker' which tracks the SENSEX. The ETF enables investors

in Hong Kong to take an exposure to the Indian equity market.

The exchange traded funds (ETF) on SENSEX, called "SPIcE" and Kotak SENSEX ETF are listed

on BSE. They bring to the investors a trading tool that can be easily used for the purposes of investment,

trading, hedging and arbitrage. These ETFs allow small investors to take a long-term view of the market.

BSE provides an efficient and transparent market for trading in equity, debt instruments and

derivatives. It has always been at par with the international standards. The systems and processes are

designed to safeguard market integrity and enhance transparency in operations. BSE is the first exchange in

India and the second in the world to obtain an ISO 9001:2000 certification. It is also the first exchange in

the country and second in the world to receive Information Security Management System Standard BS

7799-2-2002 certification for its BSE On-line Trading System (BOLT).

BSE continues to innovate. In 2006, it became the first national level stock exchange to launch its

website in Gujarati and Hindi and now Marathi to reach out to a larger number of investors. It has

successfully launched a reporting platform for corporate bonds in India christened the ICDM or Indian

Corporate Debt Market and a unique ticker-cum-screen aptly named 'BSE Broadcast' which enables

information dissemination to the common man on the street.

In 2006, BSE launched the Directors Database and ICERS (Indian Corporate Electronic Reporting System)

to facilitate information flow and increase transparency in the Indian capital market. While the Directors

Database provides a single-point access to information on the boards of directors of listed companies, the

ICERS facilitates the corporates in sharing with BSE their corporate announcements.

BSE also has a wide range of services to empower investors and facilitate smooth transactions:

Investor Services: The Department of Investor Services redresses grievances of investors. BSE was the first

exchange in the country to provide an amount of Rs.1 million towards the investor protection fund; it is an

amount higher than that of any exchange in the country. BSE launched a nationwide investor awareness 51

programme- 'Safe Investing in the Stock Market' under which 264 programmes were held in more than 200

cities.

The BSE On-line Trading (BOLT): BSE On-line Trading (BOLT) facilitates on-line screen based trading in

securities. BOLT is currently operating in 25,000 Trader Workstations located across over 359 cities in

India.

Equity shares

Shares or stock options in a company entitles the buyer the ownership rights in a company. As a unit of

ownership the stock/share holder gets a voting right in the company. The total of these shares is what

contributes to the capital of the company.

Equity shares is the equally divided capital of a company. Total capital contribution for a company

comprises of investments through equity share holdings by small and big investors. The investors who have

a stake in a company are referred to as shareholders. The equity shares are therefore documents issued by a

company and floated in the open market for purchase by shareholders which entitles them to be one of the

owners of the company.

The profits of equity shareholders depend on the profit making capability of the company that they have

invested in. In a situation where the company has made huge profits the benefits are passed over to the

equity share holders by way of dividends. The equity shareholders also enjoy voting rights in the company

By investing in shares, investors basically buy the ownership right to the company. When the company

makes profits, shareholders receive their share of the profits in the form of dividends. In addition, when

company performs well and the future expectation from the company is very high, the price of the

company’s shares goes up in the market. This allows shareholders to sell shares at a profit, leading to capital

gains.

Investors can invest in shares either through primary market offerings or in the secondary market.52

The primary market has shown abnormal returns to investors who subscribed for the public issue and were

allotted shares.

Stock Exchange:

In a stock exchange a person who wishes to sell his security is called a seller, and a person who is willing to

buy the particular stock is called as the buyer. The rate of stock depends on the simple law of demand and

supply. If the demand of shares of company x is greater than its supply then its price of its security

increases.

In Online Exchange the trading is done on a computer network. The sellers and buyers log on to the network

and propose their bids. The system is designed in such ways that at any given instance, the buyers/sellers are

bidding at the best prices.

The transaction cycle for purchasing and selling shares online is depicted below:

Suggestions:

I suggest that it is more benefit for an investor to invest in the Banking sector then the IT sector.

When it comes to IT sector it is better to invest in TCS Company than the other IT Companies. It

shows a good performance.

In banking sector it is better not invest in any Bank, If any investor want to invest in Banking sector

than I suggest them to invest in ICICI and HDFC Bank.75

Investor to Invest in banking sector.

2. Equity market in India is growing rapidly. Trading in equities require more than average understanding of finance.

Being now markets. Maximum number of investors have not yet understood the full implications of the trading in

Capital market. SEBI should take actions to create awareness in investors about the Capital market.

3. Introduction of equity market implies better risk management. These markets can greater depth, stability and

liquidity to India capital markets. Successful investor will always looks after the Equity returns and at the same time

he looks after the risk too.

4. In order to increase the Equity market in India SEBI should revise some of their regulation like aware of Normal

People, participations in markets.

5. Equity Analysis is just like a observing the market and Awareness of the Equity product.
