Objective

By looking at the balance sheet, cash flow statement and income statement, trying to determine a

company's value. In financial terms attempts to measure a company's intrinsic value.

It is conducted with the aim of detailed and objective assessment and analysis of past financialcompanies results, and forecasts of the same in the future.

Financial analysis is extremely important and should be implemented when investing and in

equity of the company. With financial analysis, investors evaluate their investment in the

company, and try to discover possible errors of existing company management.

Predicting the state of future liquidity, profitability, debt and company activities.

Technical Analysis:The point of technical analysis is to properly identify setups where youhistorically have a high probability of success on any given trade, ideally along with a favorable

risk to reward ratio.The purpose of technical analysis is to carry out price forecasts. By

processing historical market data of any instrument, and trying to anticipate how it should be

traded. There are several premises in favor of the reliability of technical analysis that are based

on the experience and prolonged observation.

Methodology

The project will be done in the following steps:

Data will be collected from the secondary sources like company website and other sites like

moneycontrol.com.

Fundamental Analysis: It will be conducted using various tools such as ratio analysis, Cash

flows, and Companys historical performance etc., which will be carried out by looking into the

Financial Statements and the balance sheet of the Company.

Technical Analysis: We try to use purely numeric methods to figure out where the price is going.

Their methods may look at the price, volume, and trends etc.

Their tools are usually something that grabs the numbers and helps them figure out a "pattern" in

the market. This may include moving averages, Bar chart, Line chart, Candle stick and other

such indicators.

The balance sheet, income statement etc will be taken.

After collecting all the required data, the analysis will be done on the company.

What is an investment

Investment means something that is purchased with money that is expected to produce income or

profit. Investments can be broken into three basic groups: ownership, lendingand cashequivalents.

Ownership investments are the most volatile and profitable class of investment. The following

are examples of ownership investments:

Stocks

Stocks are literally certificates that say you own a portion of a company. More broadly speaking,

all traded securities, from futures to currency swaps, are ownership investments. When you buy

one of these investments, you have a right to a portion of a company's value or a right to carry

out a certain action. Your expectation of profit is realized by how the market values the asset you

own the rights to.

Eg: If you own shares in L&T and L&T posts a record profit, other investors are going to want

L&T shares too. Their demand for shares drives up the price, increasing your profit if you choose

to sell the shares.

Business

The money put into starting and running a business is an investment. Entrepreneurship is one of

the hardest investments to make because it requires more than just money. Consequently, it is

also an ownership investment with extremely large potential returns. By creating a product or

service and selling it to people who want it, entrepreneurs can make huge personal fortunes.

Eg: Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft and one of the world's richest men.

Real Estate

Land, Houses, apartments or other dwellings that you buy to rent out or repair and resell are

investments. The mortgage meltdown of 2008 and the underwater mortgages it produced are a

good illustration of the dangers in considering your primary residence an investment

Precious Objects

Gold, Silver and other precious objects can all be considered an ownership investment - provided

that these are objects that are bought with the intention of reselling them for a profit. Precious

metals and collectibles are not necessarily a good investment for a number of reasons, but they

can be classified as an investment nonetheless. They have a risk of physical depreciation

(damage) and require upkeep and storage costs that cut into eventual profits.

Lending Investments

they tend to be lower risk than ownership investments and return less as a result. A bond issued

by a company will pay a set amount over a certain period, while during the same period the stock

of a company can double or triple in value, paying far more than a bond - or it can lose heavily

and go bankrupt, in which case bond holders usually still get their money and the stockholder

often gets nothing.

Savings Account

Even if you have nothing but a regular savings account, you can call yourself an investor. You

are essentially lending money to the bank, which it will dole out in the form of loans.

Bonds

Bond is a catchall category for a wide variety of investments from CDs and Treasuries to

international debt issues. The risks and returns vary widely between the different types of bonds,

but overall, lending investments pose a lower risk and provide a lower return than ownership

investments.


6/27

Cash Equivalents

These are investments that are "as good as cash," which means they're easy to convert back into

cash.

Money Market Instruments

With money market Instruments, the return is very small, 1 to 2%, and the risks are also small.

Money market funds are more liquid than other investments, meaning you can write checks out

of money market accounts just as you would with a checking account.

When considering an investment, things to be done.

Before investing you should thoroughly research the company. Also, you should try toverify information independently and not simply rely on the information provided by the

company. If investing in a companys business, investors should research that companys

market, its competition, and business plan. If investing in a company that will manageyour money or make investments with your money, you should research the background

of the company and its management. For background research, the first step may be a

simple search on google.com.

Each business carries a unique set of challenges and investors should be aware of therelevant experience of the company and its managers. This information should be

included in the disclosure documents, but investors should verify this information with

outside sources to ensure the veracity of the information. If the company or its managers

have little or no relevant experience in the proposed business, investors should consider

this a serious risk of the investment.

How to analyze the company before investing

Fundamental Analysis Technical Analysis Invest in Good Company Earnings Current Valuations of the Shares Future Earnings Growth Debit status of the Company

What is Fundamental analysis?

Fundamental analysis involves looking at any numbers that can show something about what a

companys worth. That includes the financial statements and ratios derived from those numbers

that can give you more insight into whether the company is performing well, indifferently or


7/27

badly. Fundamental analysis focuses on creating a portrait of a company, identifying the

intrinsic or fundamental value of its shares and buying or selling the stock based on that

information. ic, value.

If the intrinsic value is lower than the prevailing share price the analyst will rate the stock as a

buy; if its lower, then the analyst will recommend a sell. And if intrinsic value is broadly inline with the market price the share will be labeled a hold. These recommendations usually

have a one-year time horizon

Fundamental analysis is basically done for long term and mid term investment which is also

called as delivery based investment or trading.

The main important aim behind is to study and understand the company in which you are

planning to invest your hard earned money and get excellent returns.

Basically one should be able to judge at least how the company has done in past years, its debit

status, its current valuation, its future growth prospects, its earning capacity etc

So that based on these terms he can at least decide whether to invest in this company or not.

Technical Analysis

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

market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a

security's intrinsic value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can

suggest future activity. Just as there are many investment styles on the fundamental side, there

are also many different types of technical traders. Some rely on chart patterns; others use

technical indicators and oscillators, and most use some combination of the two.

In any case, technical analysts' exclusive use of historical price and volume data is what

separates them from their fundamental counterparts. Unlike fundamental analysts, technical

analysts don't care whether a stock is undervalued - the only thing that matters is a security's past

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

the future.

The field of technical analysis is based on three assumptions:

1. The market discounts everything.

2. Price moves in trends.

3. History tends to repeat itself.

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

time, a stock's price reflects everything that has or could affect the company - including


8/27

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 the 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 than 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 movements 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 chart patterns to analyze market movements and understand

trends.

Chart Types

There are four main types of charts that are used by investors and traders depending on the

information that they are seeking and their individual skill levels. The chart types are: the line

chart, the bar chart, the candlestick chart and the point and figure chart.

Line Chart

The most basic of the four charts is the line chart because it represents only the closing prices

over a set period of time. The line is formed by connecting the closing prices over the time

frame. Line charts do not provide visual information of the trading range for the individual points

such as the high, low and opening prices. However, the closing price is often considered to be the

most important price in stock data compared to the high and low for the day and this is why it is

the only value used in line charts.


9/27

Bar Charts

The bar chart expands on the line chart by adding several more key pieces of information to each

data point. The chart is made up of a series of vertical lines that represent each data point. This

vertical line represents the high and low for the trading period, along with the closing price. The

close and open are represented on the vertical line by a horizontal dash. The opening price on a

bar chart is illustrated by the dash that is located on the left side of the vertical bar. Conversely,

the close is represented by the dash on the right. Generally, if the left dash (open) is lower thanthe right dash (close) then the bar will be shaded black, representing an up period for the stock,

which means it has gained value. A bar that is colored red signals that the stock has gone down

in value over that period. When this is the case, the dash on the right (close) is lower than the

dash on the left (open).


10/27

Candlestick Charts

The candlestick chart is similar to a bar chart, but it differs in the way that it is visually

constructed. Similar to the bar chart, the candlestick also has a thin vertical line showing the

period's trading range. The difference comes in the formation of a wide bar on the vertical line,

which illustrates the difference between the open and close. And, like bar charts, candlesticks

also rely heavily on the use of colors to explain what has happened during the trading period. A

major problem with the candlestick color configuration, however, is that different sites use

different standards; therefore, it is important to understand the candlestick configuration used at

the chart site you are working with. There are two color constructs for days up and one for days

that the price falls. When the price of the stock is up and closes above the opening trade, the

candlestick will usually be white or clear. If the stock has traded down for the period, then the

candlestick will usually be red or black, depending on the site. If the stock's price has closed

above the previous days close but below the day's open, the candlestick will be black or filled

with the color that is used to indicate an up day.


11/27

Point and Figure Charts

The point and figure chart is not well known or used by the average investor but it has had a long

history of use dating back to the first technical traders. This type of chart reflects price

movements and is not as concerned about time and volume in the formulation of the points. The

point and figure chart removes the noise, or insignificant price movements, in the stock, whichcan distort traders' views of the price trends. These types of charts also try to neutralize the

skewing effect that time has on chart analysis. When first looking at a point and figure chart, you

will notice a series of Xs and Os. The Xs represent upward price trends and the Os represent

downward price trends. There are also numbers and letters in the chart; these represent months,

and give investors an idea of the date. Each box on the chart represents the price scale, which

adjusts depending on the price of the stock: the higher the stock's price the more each box

represents.

Earnings -

This is very important parameter. Broadly look into its last 5 or 10 years earnings whether the

company has posted profits or losses.

Its all about earnings. The bottom line is investors want to know how much money the company

is making and how much it is going to make in the future.To find the earning status ratios used are EPS - Earning per share

Current valuation -

This is another very important factor which most of the investor forgets while doing their

investments.

Generally most of the investors invest at higher valuations of shares and when share prices start

coming down then they keep worrying, so this should not happen.

Before investing one should check the current valuation of the share price and invest only when

the share price is at right price and not at over priced share.

This is what happened in January 2008. Most of the people invested at very high valuations and

later on the share prices started to correct (falling down).

Future earnings growth -

It is very important to analyze how the company is going to do in future. How will be its returns

or its profits etc?

Basically most of the investors invest in shares taking into consideration Companys future


13/27

growth prospects.

Debit status -

For any company to perform well in the future it is very important to be debt free or less debit

because if company is having large debits like borrowings, loans then it becomes difficult for it

to plan for any acquisitions, expansion plans take over plans, dividend payout and very

important its most of the net profit goes in paying the interest and loans and other debits.

So in other words if the company is having fewer debits or no debit then they are having lots of

cash in hand and they are free to take any decision in coming future.

To find the debit status of the company the ratios used are

Earnings

Earning Per Share - EPS

EPS plays major role in investment decision.

EPS is calculated by taking the net earnings of the company and dividing it by the outstanding

shares.

EPS = Net Earnings / Outstanding Shares

For example -

If Company A had earnings of RS 1000 crores and 100 shares outstanding, then its EPS becomes

10 (RS 1000 / 100 = 10).

Second example -

If Company B had earnings of RS 1000 crores and 500 shares outstanding, then its EPS becomes

2 (RS 1000 / 500 = 50).

One should look for high EPS stocks and the higher the better is the stock.One should compare the EPS from one company to another, which are in the same

industry/sector and not from one company from Auto sector and another company from IT

sector.

Before we move on, you should note that there are three types of EPS numbers:


14/27

Trailing EPS - Trailing EPS means last years EPS which is considered as actual and for

ongoing current year.

Current EPS - Current EPS means which is still under projections and going to come on

financial year end.

Forward EPS - Forward EPS which is again under projections and going to come on next

financial year end

But the EPS alone doesnt tell you the whole story of the company so for this information, we

need to look at some more ratios as following.

Its not advisable to make your investment decisions based on only single ratio analysis.

EPS is the base for calculating PE ratio.

Importance of Earnings -Earnings are profits. Quarterly or yearly companys increasing earnings generally makes its

stock price move up and in some cases some companies pay out a regular dividend. This is

Bullish sign and indicates that the companys is in growth.

When the company declares low earnings then the market may see bearishness in the stock price

and hence its share price starts deceasing and corrects further if the company doesnt provide any

sufficient justification for low earnings.

Conclusion - Keep a close watch on quarterly earnings and trade or invest accordingly ormanipulate your investing.

Following are the most popular and important tools/ratios to find excellent growth stocks which

focuses on earning, growth, and value of the companys.

To make you understand more easily we have explained in very simple steps.

Dividend Yield

If you are a value investor or looking for dividend income then you should look for DividendYield figure of the stock.

This measurement tells you what percentage return a companies pays out to shareholders in the

form of dividends. Older, well-established companies tend to payout a higher percentage then do

younger companies and their dividend history can be more consistent.

You calculate the Dividend Yield by taking the annual dividend per share and divide by the


15/27

stocks price.

That is

Dividend Yield = annual dividend per share / stock's price per share

For example

If a companys annual dividend is RS 1.50 and the stock trades at RS 25, the Dividend Yield is

6%. (RS 1.50 / RS 25 = 0.06).

Check out companys PAT (profit after tax) of every quarterly if you are short term to mid term

trader and if you are long term investor then check out its yearly PAT. The company should have

posted consistent growth.

Ratio Analysis

Liquidity Ratio

Liquidity Ratios are ratios that come off the Balance Sheet and hence measure the liquidity of the

company as on a particular day i.e the day that the Balance Sheet was prepared. These ratios are

important in measuring the ability of a company to meet both its short term and long termobligations.

Current ratio: This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Current Assets' of acompany by its 'Total Current Liabilities'. The ratio is regarded as a test of

liquidity for a company. It expresses the 'working capital' relationship ofcurrent assets available to meet the company's current obligations.

Current Ratio = Total Current Assets/ Total Current Liabilities

Quick ratio: This ratio is obtained by dividing the 'Total Quick Assets' of acompany by its 'Total Current Liabilities'. Sometimes a company could be

carrying heavy inventory as part of its current assets, which might be obsoleteor slow moving. Thus eliminating inventory from current assets and then

doing the liquidity test is measured by this ratio. The ratio is regarded as an

acid test of liquidity for a company. It expresses the true 'working capital'

relationship of its cash, accounts receivables, prepaids and notes receivablesavailable to meet the company's current obligations.

Quick Ratio = Total Quick Assets/ Total Current Liabilities

1) Current Ratio2012 0.15752608

2011 0.168502966

2010 0.199898785

2009 0.244677419

2008 0.173819961

Interpretation: - The optimal ratio is 2:1. In order to survive, firms must be able to meet their

short-term obligationspay their creditors and repay their short-term debts. Thus, the liquidity

of the firm is one measure of a firm's financial health. But in the case of Airtel the current Ratio

is always been below 1 i.e. Current Assets is less than Current Liability and the firm may not be


17/27

able to fulfill its obligations. Therefore they should try and increase there Current Assets and

decrease Current Liabilities.

2) Quick Ratio2012 0.217

2011 0.166

2010 0.194

2009 0.244

2008 0.168

Interpretation: - The main difference between the current ratio and the quick ratio is that

the latter does not include inventories, while the former does. If the quick ratio is greater

than one, there would seem to be no danger that the firm would not be able to meet its

current obligations. If the quick ratio is less than one, but the current ratio is considerably

above one, the status of the firm is more complex.

2009 -0.349334228

2008 -0.483561072

Interpretation:-Net Working Capital (which is also known as Working Capital or the

initials NWC) is a measurement of the operating liquidity available for a company to

use in developing and growing its business. The working capital can be calculated very

simply by subtracting a companys total current liabilities from its total current assets.

Negative working capital means that a company currently is unable to meet its short-term

liabilities with its current assets (cash, accounts receivable and inventory).

Leverage Ratio

1) Any ratio used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of thecompany's methods of financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations.There are several different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt, equity,

assets and interest expenses.

Debt ratio: It is a financial ratio that indicates the percentage of a company'sassets that are provided via debt. It is the ratio of total debt (the sum of currentliabilities and long-term liabilities) and total assets (the sum of current assets,

fixed assets, and other assets such as 'goodwill').

Debt ratio = total liabilities/ total assets

Debt-equity ratio: it compares a companys total liabilities to its shareholdersequity. A lower percentage means that the company is using less leverage andhas a better and stronger equity position.

1) Debt to Equity Ratio: -2012 0.269705969

2010 0.279021814

2009 0.3245887062008 0.046403915

A measure of a company's financial leverage calculated by dividing its total liabilities

by stockholders' equity. It indicates what proportion of equity and debt the company

is using to finance its assets. A high debt/equity ratio generally means that a company

has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. This can result in volatile

earnings as a result of the additional interest expense. A ratio of 1:1 is usually

considered to be satisfactory ratio although there cannot be rule of thumb or standard

norm for all types of businesses. In case of airtel the Debt is higher than equity and

they should try to bring their debt down because Overusing leverage leaves thecompany at risk as the cost of financing this borrowing can outweigh the return

provided by the expansion. The more debt a company has outstanding, the more its

earnings must go to making the interest payments.

Interpretation:- A ratio that indicates what proportion of debt a company has relative to

its assets. The measure gives an idea to the leverage of the company along with the

potential risks the company faces in terms of its debt-load. A debt ratio of less than 1indicates that a company has more assets than debt. Its good hat airtel has more Assets

than its Debts thats a good sign.

2009 2008 17.393

Interpretation :- ratio used to determine how easily a company can pay interest on

outstanding debt. The interest coverage ratio is calculated by dividing a company's

earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) of one period by the company's interest

expenses of the same period. The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by

debt expense. When a company's interest coverage ratio is 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet

interest expenses may be questionable. An interest coverage ratio below 1 indicates the

company is not generating sufficient revenues to satisfy interest expenses. Therefore

Airtel is generating enough revenues to pay their interest.

Profitability Ratio

They show how successful a company is in terms of generating returns or profits on the

Investment that it has made in the business. If a business is liquid and efficient it should

also be Profitable.

2009 41.30%

2008 40.60%

Interpretation:- A financial metric used to assess a firm's financial health by revealing

the proportion of money left over from revenues after accounting for the cost of goods

sold. Gross profit margin serves as the source for paying additional expenses and future

savings. This metric can be used to compare a company with its competitors. More

efficient companies will usually see higher profit margins. Airtel is earning good profits

and is consistent and they can save and invest accordingly.

Interpretation: The net profit margin, also known as net margin, indicates how much

net income a company makes with total sales achieved. A higher net profit margin

means that a company is more efficient at converting sales into actual profit. Net

profit margin analysis is not the same as gross profit margin. Under gross profit, fixed

costs are excluded from calculation. With net profit margin ratio all costs are included

to find the final benefit of the income of a business. Airtel is incurring many indirect

expenses so its should control on it, although net profit margin looks quite healthy.

3) Return on EquityThe Return on Equity of a company measures the ability of the management of the

company to generate adequate returns for the capital invested by the owners of a

company. Generally a return of 10% would be desirable to provide dividends to

owners and have funds for future growth of the company

2010 28%

2009 23.80%2008 35.20%

Interpretation: - Return on Equity (ROE) is an indicator of company's profitability by

measuring how much profit the company generates with the money invested by common

stock owners. In Airtel the return on equity is decreased over the period of time in 2008

its because of recession. And later because of Mobile portability service which is started.

Activity Ratio

Accounting ratios that measure a firm's ability to convert different accounts within
