    MARKET INDEXES

    Introduction:

    People from different walk of life use and are affected by

    market indexes. Investors, both individual and institutional, used

    the market index as a bench mark against which, they evaluate the

    performance of their own or institutional portfolio.

    The technicians or the chartists often base their decisions to

    buy and sell on the patterns emerging out of the time series data of

    market indexes. Even the economists and statisticians use stock

    market indexes to study the trend of growth patterns in the

    economy, to analyze as well as forecasts business cycles and to

    correlate stock indexes to economic activity. The most important

    index in financial market is the stock index, which uses a set of

    stocks that are representative of the whole market, or a specified

    sector, to measure the change in overall behavior of the markets, or

    sector over a period of time. The final use of the market index is in

    portfolio analysis. In discussions of the market model and

    systematic it will be evident that the relevant risk of a security is

    determined by the relationship between that securities return and

    the return on the market.

    An index is a number used to represent the changes in a set

    of values between a base time period and another time period. A

    stock index is a number that helps measure the levels of the

    market. Stock index is a derivative asset because it derives its

    existence and value from independent stocks issued by

    corporations. It is the simplest derivative because it is structured as

    merely same average of specified underlying stocks without any

    complicated payoff.

    Most stock indices attempt to be proxies for the market they

    exist in. Returns on the index thus are supposed to represent

    returns on the market that is the returns that an investor can get if

    he has the portfolio representing the entire market.

    Major stock indexes in India:

    . BSE-SENSEX,

    first compiled in 1986 is a "MarketCapitalization-Weighted" index of 30 component stocks

    representing a sample of large, well established and financially

    sounds companies. The base year of BSE-SENSEX is 1978-79.

    The index is widely reported in both domestic and international

    markets through print as well as electronic media.BSE-SENSEX is

    not only scientifically designed but also based on globally accepted

    construction and review methodology. The "Market Capitalization-

    Weighted" methodology is a widely followed index construction

    methodology on which majority of global equity benchmarks are

    based.

    Since then, the stock market in the country has passed

    through both good and bad periods. The journey in the 20th

    century has not been an easy one. Till the decade of eighties, there

    was no measure or scale that could precisely measure the various

    ups and downs in the Indian stock market. The Stock Exchange,

    Mumbai (BSE) in 1986 came out with a Stock Index that

    subsequently became the barometer of the Indian Stock Market.

    The growth of equity markets in India has been phenomenal

    in the decade gone by. Right from early nineties the stock market

    witnessed heightened activity in terms of various bull and bear

    runs. More recently, the bourses in India witnessed a similar frenzy

    in the 'TMT' sectors. The BSE-SENSEX captured all these

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    10/104

    10

    happenings in the most judicial manner. One can identify the

    booms and bust of the Indian equity market through BSE-

    SENSEX.

    The Index Committee of the Exchange reviews all BSE-

    Indices periodically. The committee frames the broad policy

    guidelines for the development and maintenance of all BSE

    indices. The Index Cell of the Exchange carries out the day to day

    maintenance of all indices and conducts research on development

    of new indices

    The Index was initially calculated based on the "Full Market

    Capitalization" methodology but was shifted to the free-float

    methodology with effect from September 1, 2003. The "Free-float

    Market Capitalization" methodology of index construction is

    regarded as an industry best practice globally. All major indexproviders like MSCI, FTSE, STOXX, S&P and Dow Jones use the

    Free-float methodology.

    Sensex Calculation Methodology

    Sensex is calculated using the "Free-float MarketCapitalization" methodology. As per this methodology, the level of

    index at any point of time reflects the Free-float market value of 30

    component stocks relative to a base period. The market

    capitalization of a company is determined by multiplying the price

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    11/104

    11

    of its stock by the number of shares issued by the company. This

    market capitalization is further multiplied by the free-float factor to

    determine the free-float market capitalization

    Understanding Free-float Methodology

    Concept:

    Free-float Methodology refers to an index construction

    methodology that takes into consideration only the free-float

    market capitalization of a company for the purpose of index

    calculation and assigning weight to stocks in Index. Free-float

    market capitalization is defined as that proportion of total shares

    issued by the company that are readily available for trading in the

    market.

    National stock exchange indices:

    With commencement of derivatives trading in India, foreign

    bourses have evinced interest to introduce trading in derivatives

    based on Indian indices. Under an agreement, Singapore exchange

    derivatives trading Ltd., (SGX-DT) was granted a license to trade

    futures and options contracts based on S&P CNX Nifty index.

    SGX-DT launched the SGX S&P CNX Nifty index futures

    contract on sep 25, 2000. the contract is based on the S&P CNX

    Nifty index, which is owned by IISL, a subsidiary of NSE. The

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    12/104

    12

    SGX S&P CNX Nifty index futures is traded in US $, with a

    contract size equivalent to US $ 20 multiplied by the S&P CNX

    future index. The trading of nifty future SGX was introduced for

    enabling international market participants gain exposure to the

    Indian stock market in a highly cost effective manner. With the

    growing no of global investors getting exposure to the Indian

    market place, especially in stocks related to technology, internet

    and pharmaceuticals, the contracts will help participants to

    effectively trade as well as hedge their portfolio.

    S&P CNX Nifty, which comprises of 50 largest and most

    liquid stocks, was introduced in April 1996. It has a historical time

    series dating back to January 1990. It accounted for 51.2% of total

    market capitalization of CM segment of NSE as at end June 2001.

    CNX Nifty junior introduced in December 1996 is built out of the

    next 50 large and liquid stocks. S&P CNX Nifty was introduced bythe NSE keeping in mind that it would be used for modern

    applications such as index funds and index derivatives besides

    reflecting the stock market accurately. It has become the most

    popular and widely used indicator of the stock market in the

    country.

    These indices are monitored and updated dynamically and

    are reviewed regularly. These are maintained professionally to

    ensure that if continues to be a consistent benchmark of the equity

    market. This involves inclusion and exclusion of stocks in the

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    13/104

    13

    index and the day today tracking and giving effect to corporate

    actions on individual stocks. The composition of Nifty is reviewed

    every quarter. This helps in maintaining liquidity of the index

    while preventing too many changes making the index unsuitable.

    The index is calculated afresh every time a trade takes place in an

    index stocks. It is calculated unlike online and disseminated over

    trading terminals across the country.

    Correlation analysis:

    Correlation analysis measures the relationship between two

    items, for example, a securitys price and an indicator. The

    resulting value (called the correlation coefficient) shows if

    changes in one item (e.g., an indicator) will result in changes in the

    other item (e.g., the securities prices). When comparing the

    correlation between two items, one item is called thedependent

    item and the other the independent item. The goal is to see if a

    change in the independent item (which is usually an indicator) will

    result in a change in the dependent item (usually a securities price).

    This information helps to understand an indicators predictive

    ability.

    The correlation coefficient can range between + or

    1.0(plus or minus one). A coefficient of + 1.0, a perfect positive

    correlation, means that changes in the independent item will result

    in an identical change in the dependent item (e.g., a change in the

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    14/104

    14

    indicator will result in an identical change in the securities price).

    A coefficient of -1.0, a perfect negative correlation, means that

    changes in the independent item will results in an identical changes

    in the dependent item, but the change will be in the opposite

    direction. A coefficient of zero means, there is no relationship

    between the two items and that a change in the independent item

    will have no effect in the dependent item.

    A low correlation coefficient (e.g., less than+-0.10)

    suggests that the relationship between two items is weak or non-

    existent. A high correlation coefficient (i.e., closer to plus or minus

    one) indicates that the dependent variable (e.g., the securitys

    price) will usually change when the independent variable (e.g., an

    indicator) changes.

    The direction of the depended variables changes dependson the sign of the coefficient. If the coefficient is a positive

    number, than the dependent variable will move in the same

    direction as the independent variable, if the coefficient is negative

    than the dependent variable will move in the opposite direction of

    the independent variable.

    Correlation analysis can be used in two basic ways, to

    determine the predictive ability of an indicator and to determine

    the correlation two securities. When comparing the correlation

    between an indicator and a securities price, a high positive

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    15/104

    15

    coefficient (e.g., more than + 0.70) tells that a change in the

    indicator will usually predict a change in securities price. A high

    negative correlation (e.g. less than 0.70) tells that when the

    indicator changes, the securities price will usually move in the

    opposite direction. A low coefficient (e.g., close to zero) indicates

    that the relationship between the securities price and the indicator

    is not significant.

    Correlation analysis is also valuable in gauging the

    relationship between two securities. Often, one securities price

    leads or predict the price of another security. For example the

    correlation coefficient of gold verses the dollar shows a strong

    negative relationship. This means that an increase in the dollar

    usually predicts a decrease in the price of the gold.

    Relative Strength, comparativeOverview

    Comparative Relative Strength compares two securities to

    show how the securities are performing relative to each other. Be

    careful not to confuse Comparative Relative Strength with the

    Relative Strength Index.

    Interpretation

    Comparative Relative Strength compares a security's price

    change with that of a "base" security. When the Comparative

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    16/104

    16

    Relative Strength indicator is moving up, it shows that the security

    is performing better than the base security. When the indicator is

    moving sideways, it shows that both securities are performing the

    same (i.e., rising and falling by the same percentages). When the

    indicator is moving down, it shows that the security is performing

    worse than the base security (i.e., not rising as fast or falling

    faster).

    Comparative Relative Strength is often used to compare a

    security's performance with a market index. It is also useful in

    developing spreads (i.e., buy the best performer and short the

    weaker issue).

    Calculation

    The Comparative Relative Strength indicator is calculated

    by dividing one security's price by a second security's price (the

    "base" security). The result of this division is the ratio, or

    relationship, between the two securities.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Research design simply means a search for facts answer to

    questions and solutions to problems. A research design is a

    purposeful scheme of action proposed to be covered out in a

    sequence during the process of research focusing on the problem to

    be tackled. It is a guideline for the researcher to enable him to keep

    track of his actions and to know whether he was moving in the

    right direction in order to achieve his goal. The design has a

    specific presentation of the various steps in the process of the

    research.

    For the purpose of this study, the following methodology

    was adopted:

    Identification of the study period.

    Identification of certain industries that are considered to be

    leading indicators of stock market and identifying onecompany each from these industries.

    Collection of monthly closing price of equity stocks of

    companies in the above industries.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    18/104

    18

    Conducting serial correlation tests on the stock prices for

    twelve months and thus co-efficient of correlation is found

    out.

    Collection of BSE indices closing values for the same period

    on a monthly basis and comparing individual stocks with

    their respective indices.

    STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

    Several investors have gained as well as lost in the stock

    market. One way to determine the stock price is fundamental

    analysis, which in turn is composed of economy, industry and

    company. The other way is technical analysis, which says that the

    past trends will repeat in the future.

    The question that arises here is that whether security moves

    with the market index, so that losses and gains can be estimated

    with the movement of the market index. The relationship between

    the security and market index is done by correlation, relative

    strength index and moving average method.

    Therefore in this study the researcher has tried to find out;

    The study period

    The economic indicator of the stock market

    Conduct a serial correlation analysis to determine whether

    the relationship exist or not

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    19/104

    19

    Whether ordinary investor has out performed or over

    performed with scrips is checked with moving average

    To determine the indicator that is a combination of security

    and market index, this is done by drawing the RSI curve.

    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

    The main objective of the study is to test The performance

    of selected securities in comparison with market index. The

    research means that security prices are the reflection of market

    index. With this, the research work deals with the following

    objectives:

    Understanding the performance of selected securities in

    comparison with market index.

    Provide guidance for the investors in determining what types

    of analysis is useful.

    To study the literature behind market index.

    To carry out correlation analysis.

    To find out regression equation.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    20/104

    20

    To determine whether speculator in India can invest in

    security by tracing market indices.

    SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    One of the most important functions of the market index is

    to show, in which direction the set of scrips are heading towards.

    The market index as a bench mark against which, the investor

    evaluate the performance of their own or institutional portfolio.

    Market indices are one of the economic indicators, if the index is

    heading upwards, it shows that economy is on boom, investors

    purchasing power is high, and market is bullish. If index is headingdownwards, it signifies slack period in the economy, in this period

    investor is bearish. If the historical data is projected it shows future

    trends, by the help of this, investor can forecast and take decisions

    accordingly to buy or to sell or to hold the securities. This research

    seeks to investigate and constructively contribute to help:

    The investors in understanding the performance of selected

    securities in comparison with market index.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    21/104

    21

    It also helps the investor to understand the working of

    market index and other related concepts.

    It serves as a reference for further research.

    Correlation Analysis: It is the statistical tool used to

    describe the degree to which one variable is linearly related

    to another.

    SAMPLING METHOD

    A sample is a small representation of lot of population

    selected at random. The random of drawing a sample from largepopulation is called as sampling. The sampling method adopted in

    this study is judgment sampling. Sampling data in this study

    comprised of five stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange for

    the period from December 2004 to May 2006. Each series consists

    of 18-montly observation made at each month end closing price for

    each stock dominated in Indian rupees. The sample stocks were

    selected from the specified group of Bombay Stock Exchange. The

    selection of the stocks was also based on the fact that the data set

    continuously available through the period considered that is from

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    24/104

    24

    December 2004 to May 2006. For the purpose of this study, the

    share price series are adjusted for rights and bonds.

    DATA COLLECTION TOOL

    This study is by and large a desk job work. Both primary

    and secondary data are collected for the study purpose. Conducting

    interviews with stockbrokers collects the primary data. Secondary

    data is collected from different sources, which are as follows:

    Textbooks and journals- as stated under review of literature.

    Websites- equitymaster.com, capitalmarket.com,

    LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

    Though sincere attempts have been made during the

    research work, certain limitations cannot be avoided, they are:

    Difference in definitions.

    The research work does not considered other type of

    securities such as Debentures, short term and long term

    loans etc.

    INDUSTRIAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

    ALUMINIUM

    The most commercially mined aluminum ore is bauxite, as it

    has the highest content of the base metal. The primary aluminum

    production process consists of three stages. First is mining of

    bauxite, followed by refining of bauxite to alumina and finally

    smelting of alumina to aluminum. India has the fifth largest

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    28/104

    28

    bauxite reserves with deposits of about 3 bn tones or 5% of world

    deposits. India's share in world aluminum capacity rests at about

    3%. Production of 1 tone of aluminum requires 2 tones of alumina

    while production of 1 tone of alumni

    The aluminum production process can be categorized into

    upstream and downstream activities. The upstream process

    involves mining and refining while the downstream process

    involves smelting and casting & fabricating. Downstream-

    fabricated products consist of rods, sheets, extrusions and foils.

    Power is amongst the largest cost component in

    manufacturing of the non-ferrous metal, as the production process -

    - smelting -- involves electrolysis. Consequently, manufacturers

    are located near cheap and abundant sources of electricity such as

    hydroelectric power plants. Alternatively, they could set up captive

    power plants, which is the pattern in India. Indian manufacturers

    are the lowest cost producers of the base metal due to access to

    captive power, cheap labour and proximity to abundant supply of

    raw material bauxite

    The Indian aluminum sector is characterized by large

    integrated players like Hindalco and National Aluminum Company

    (Nalco). The other producers of primary aluminum include Indian

    Aluminum (Indal), now acquired by Hindalco. Bharat Aluminum

    (Balco) and Madras Aluminum (Malco), the erstwhile PSUs, have

    been acquired by Sterlite Industries. Consequently, there are only

    three main primary metal producers in the sector.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    29/104

    29

    The per capita consumption of aluminum in India continues

    to remain abysmally low at under 1 kg as against nearly 20 kgs in

    the US and Europe, 15 kgs in Japan, 10 kgs in Taiwan and 4 kgs in

    China. The key consumer industries in India are electricals

    (power), transportation, consumer durables, packaging and

    construction. Of this, power is the biggest consumer (over 1/3rd of

    total) followed by transportation (about 18% of total). However,

    internationally, the pattern of consumption is in favour of

    transportation, primarily due to large-scale aluminum consumption

    by the aviation industry.

    The metal has a long working life due to its propensity for

    recycling. Recycled metal requires significantly less amounts of

    energy for manufacturing of primary aluminum. Just to put things

    in perspective, the recycling of aluminum scrap requires 5% of the

    energy required for primary smelting, which is astoundingly lower,

    considering that power is such a high cost component

    Key points:

    Supply: Supply of aluminum is in excess and any deficit can be

    imported at low rates of duty. Currently, domestic production

    comfortably meets domestic requirements.

    Demand: Demand for aluminum is estimated to grow at 6%-8%

    per annum in view of the low per capita consumption in India.

    Also, demand for the metal is expected to pick up as the scenario

    improves for user industries, like power and transportation, which

    closely track economic growth.

    30/104

    30

    Barriers to entry: Large economies of scale. Consequently, high

    capital costs.

    Bargaining power of suppliers: Being a commodity, customersenjoy relatively high bargaining power, as prices are determined on

    demand and supply.

    Bargaining power of customers: Being a commodity, customers

    enjoy relatively high bargaining power, as prices are determined on

    demand and supply.

    Competition: Competition is primarily on quality and price, as

    being a commodity, differentiation is difficult. However, the recent

    spate of consolidation has reduced the competitive pressure in the

    industry

    Prospects:

    Globally, newer packaging applications and increased usage

    in automobiles is expected to keep the international demand

    growth for aluminum between 3% - 4% in the long-term. Asia will

    continue to be the high consumption growth area led by China,

    which has been and is expected to continue to register double-digit

    growth rates in aluminum consumption in 2005.

    With key consuming industries forming part of the domestic

    core sector, the aluminum industry is sensitive to fluctuations in

    performance of the economy. Electricals and transportation

    account for more than 50% of domestic aluminum consumption.

    With the Government focusing towards attaining GDP growth

    rates above 8%, the key consuming industries are likely to lead the

    way, which could positively impact aluminum consumption.

    Domestic demand growth is estimated to average in the region ofabout 6% - 8% over the longer-term, though FY05 would be

    another year of above average growth.

    Being a commodity, international prices on the London

    Metal Exchange (LME) are closely linked to the demand-supply

    position and consequently global inventory levels. Volatility in

    domestic prices is lower compared to international prices, as Indianmanufacturers adjust prices only when a clear trend is visible on

    the LME. However, with reduction in import duties in Interim

    Budget '05, the buffer on international prices will reduce leading to

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    32/104

    32

    stronger linkage with international markets. Consequently,

    volatility in domestic markets could increase.

    The improvement in the economy in FY05 had its positiveimpact on the aluminum industry, which can be gauged from the

    fact that production and consumption increased by nearly 20% last

    fiscal. During FY05, the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) grew

    by 6.8%, which was an improvement over FY03's 5.8% growth.

    We reckon domestic demand in the current fiscal to remain firm.

    Over the past few years, mergers & acquisitions (M&A)have led to three main groups in the domestic aluminum industry

    A.V. Birla, Sterlite and the Government run Nalco. Further

    consolidation in the domestic market is likely to augur well for the

    industry. With lesser competition, companies could assert greater

    control over pricing. In this context, the approach adopted by the

    incumbent government towards privatization, which has put on the

    back burner the divestment of state-owned Nalco, has provided a

    sort of a setback to the consolidation in the sector. Consolidation in

    any industry not only helps it to compete better but also improve

    overall efficiencies.

    While there was no specific announcement made in Interim

    Budget 2005 pertaining to the aluminum industry, reduction in

    peak customs duty from 25% to 20% is a cause for concern.

    Lowering of duties reduces the net tariff protection for domestic

    aluminum producers. With reduction in import duties, domestic

    realization of aluminum majors, namely Hindalco, Nalco and

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    33/104

    33

    Indal, is likely to be under pressure, as the buffer on international

    prices is reduced. Moreover, with greater linkage to international

    prices, volatility in financials could increase. However, producers

    are moving downstream to negate the higher volatility.

    Further, though the interim budget did not announce any

    specific measures for the aluminum sector, the increased thrust on

    infrastructure spending will benefit the industry in the long run.

    Spending on infrastructure sectors and the announcement that

    mega power status would now be given to all power projects is a

    positive for the aluminum industry. It must be noted that the power

    sector accounts for over 1/3rd of the domestic aluminum

    consumption. Power, transportation and construction, which are

    the key aluminum-consuming industries, are likely to reap the

    benefits of government spending.

    CONSUMER PRODUCTS

    The consumer product sector mainly consists of personal

    care, cosmetics and home products segments. The sector can be

    further sub-divided into dental care products, soaps, detergents,

    surface cleaning products, skin care, and hair care products.

    The sector is divided into two distinct segments - the

    premium segment catering mostly to urban higher/upper middle

    class and the popular segment with prices as low as 25%-30% of

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    34/104

    34

    the premium segment, catering to mass segments in urban and

    rural markets. The premium segment is less price sensitive and

    more brand conscious.

    India's rural markets have seen a lot of activity in the last

    few years. Since penetration levels are pretty high in most

    categories, future growth can come only from deeper rural

    penetration. FMCG majors are aggressively looking at rural India

    since it accounts for 70% of the total Indian households.

    The industry is volume driven and is characterized by lowmargins. The products are branded and backed by marketing,

    heavy advertising, slick packaging and strong distribution

    networks. Also, raw material prices play an important role in

    determining the pricing of the final product.

    Despite the strong presence of MNC players, the

    unorganized sector has a significant presence in this industry. In

    most categories, unorganized sector is almost as big as the

    organized sector, if not bigger.

    Brand building and extensive distribution network is a key

    factor. A successful brand is a precious asset, which could fetch a

    price many times the cost of assets required to make the product. A

    study conducted by A&M-ORG-MARG reflects that the share of

    branded goods is high for a number of daily used products, and the

    share of unbranded products is shrinking, albeit slowly.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    The industry is very clearly sold on Dr. C. K. Prahlad's

    concept of 'value at the bottom of the pyramid'. They recognize

    that India is a value led market. There are numerous examples of

    buoyant growth if the price proposition is right (telecom, home

    loans, consumer durables). Therefore, the focus was on improving

    efficiencies, reducing costs, improving supply chain efficiencies to

    look at giving value to consumers, in a bid to bring about internal

    factors led growth.

    Key points:

    Supply: Abundant supply in metros. Distribution networks are

    Beefed up to penetrate the rural areas.

    Demand: At an average GDP growth of 5.5% until FY2009, the

    present consumer demand is set to boom by almost 60% over this

    period.

    Barriers to entry: Huge investments in promoting brands, setting

    up distribution networks and intense competition.

    Bargaining power of suppliers: Many established players have a

    slight edge in bargaining power given the competition among

    suppliers. Also, some of the companies have backward integrated,which reduces the supplier's clout.

    Bargaining power of customers: In case of branded products,

    there is little that the consumer can influence, but intense

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    36/104

    36

    competition within the FMCG companies results in value for

    money deals for consumers (e.g. buy one, get one free concept).

    Competition: Competition is based mainly on product attributes.However, in a bid to increase penetration in the nascent market,

    companies often compete on pricing by offering discounts and

    freebies. Foreign products are becoming increasingly visible in

    urban domestic markets.

    Prospects:

    As per NCAER estimates, the ratio of the consuming class

    to total households will touch 46% by FY07 (17.4% in FY95).

    With per capita consumption low in most categories and

    expectations of the consuming class growing in significant

    numbers (as per NCAER estimates), the FMCG sector in India has

    immense growth potential in the long term.

    While the homegrown companies are looking to expand

    beyond the Indian shores, the MNC subsidiaries are likely to look

    for greater leverage of the parent strengths. Since India is a big

    potential market, none of the big MNC's can afford to ignore the

    region for long. The decade ahead is likely to see more MNC's

    looking to enter India, as organized

    hub of agri-processing. The e-choupal (ITC) and Shakti (HLL)

    initiatives by corporate is likely to shape the dynamics of what

    farmers produce going forward, with improved efficiency. The

    interest of Group's like Bharti and Reliance in investing in this

    sector points to the potential.

    Companies are increasingly using information technology

    for supply chain management. This is likely to result in a reduction

    in inventory levels and an improvement in the working capital

    cycle. The aim is to evolve just in time delivery systems. This will

    benefit companies by controlling costs and improving margins.

    Some MNCs have set up 100% subsidiaries (for example

    Procter & Gamble), which is a cause for concern for the listed

    subsidiaries, as new product launches are largely set to take place

    through these subsidiaries.

    The rising penetration of satellite and cable networks will

    also fuel demand for a wide variety of consumer products. E-

    commerce will bring in procurement efficiencies and will reduce

    overheads finally allowing the companies to reduce their prices.

    With new brands being launched rapidly and competition

    becoming very aggressive, only those companies, who can spend

    on research and development to innovate and develop new

    products and processes, will gain in the long term.

    value chain and export formulations and generic products. The

    total exports from the country were more than at Rs 225 bn in the

    year 2005. The country also offers excellent exports opportunities

    for clinical trials, R&D, custom synthesis, technical services like

    Bioinformatics.

    The fortunes of Indian pharma industry are significantly

    influenced by regulations. Indian companies capitalized on the

    absence of product patents in the country and mastered the art of

    making generics version of the patented drugs at very low cost.

    However, by virtue of India being a member of the World Trade

    Organization (WTO) and a signatory to the General Agreement on

    Tariffs and Trade (GATT) it is bound recognize product patents,

    latest by 2005.

    The drug price control order (DPCO) continues to be amenace for the industry. The pricing authority arbitrarily sets

    prices of drugs that fall within its ambit without giving due

    consideration even to the costs of production. There are three tiers

    of regulations -on bulk drugs, on formulations and on overall

    profitability. This has made the profitability of the sector

    susceptible to the whims and fancies of the pricing authority.

    Consequently, MNCs show reluctance in launching patented drugs

    from their parent's product portfolio, thereby, affecting their

    market share. However, off late, some MNCs have started making

    aggressive product launches. Although government has brought

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    41/104

    41

    down the DPCO cover from 74 to 25 drugs in the new DPCO, the

    same has not been brought into effect due to impending litigation.

    However, once implemented, this could increase profitability of

    companies having relatively older portfolios particularly MNCs.

    While the average R&D spending in India for the industry

    has been around Rs 6.6 bn, as a whole which is a meager 2% of

    sales, the spend of the top five companies is about 6%. Despite

    growing at a CAGR of 35% over last five years, the ratio is still

    way below the global average of 15-20% of sales. However,

    despite the low R&D spending as comparison to global

    benchmarks, Indian companies are stepping up their research

    activities to make themselves more self sufficient in terms of

    product development ahead of the year 2005 deadline. Companies

    like Dr. Reddy's and Ranbaxy have already achieved reasonable

    measure of success in their R&D efforts.

    Another peculiar feature of the domestic R&D initiative is a

    lack of facilities and resources to develop a molecule, conduct

    trials and then launch the product. On an average it costs roughly

    US$ 350 m to US$ 500 m for a New Chemical Entity (NCE) to

    pass through the various stages of clinical trials. Although Indian

    companies with their expertise in chemistry are able to synthesize

    molecules, the huge costs involved in conducting clinical trials and

    launching the drug has prompted them to depend on international

    peers to undertake the more expensive clinical trials and product

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    42/104

    42

    launches in return for upfront and milestone payments (ex

    Ranbaxy out-licensed one of its urology molecules to Schwarz

    Pharma and Dr Reddy's out licensed a molecule to Novo Nordisk).

    Indian companies are thus able to mitigate the risk involved in new

    drug discovery. However, off-late, Indian companies like Dr.

    Reddy's have indicated plans of conducting clinical trials on their

    own.

    Key points:

    Supply: Higher for traditional a therapeutic segment, which is

    typical of a developing market. However, relatively lower for

    lifestyle segment.

    Demand: Very high for certain diseases, will change as life

    expectancy, literacy increases.

    Barriers to entry: Licensing, distribution network, patents, plant

    approval by regulatory authority.

    Bargaining power of suppliers: Distributors are increasingly

    pushing generic products in a bid to earn higher margins.

    Bargaining power of customers: High, a fragmented industry has

    ensured that there is widespread competition in almost all product

    segments.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    43/104

    43

    Competition: High. Very fragmented industry with the top 300 (of

    10,000 manufacturing units) players accounting for 85% of sales

    value. Consolidation in the industry is likely to intensify.

    Prospects:

    While FY05 recorded a good growth and the markets grew

    by about 8% mainly driven by high growth in lifestyle segment

    such as CVS (17%), CNS (9%), anti-diabetic (12%) and

    respiratory (9%) therapeutic segments. However, intense

    competition ensured that the values of the products to decline. In

    fact the growth in volume terms was about 2% more than growth

    in value terms. In the year while Indian companies performed very

    well both in exports as well as the domestic markets, performance

    of the MNC's was not very impressive. However, in the longer run,

    Indian companies would face fresh competition from MNCs, asthey would make aggressive new launches once product patents

    are recognized post 2005.

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

    anti-ulcer and anti-depressants will continue to be lucrative and

    fast growing. Growth in domestic sales in the future will depend on

    the ability of companies to launch/shift products in relatively fast-

    growing therapeutic segments. These are likely to be the key

    earnings drivers. Here again, in view of the competition from

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    44/104

    44

    MNCs post 2005 and rise in the number of new entrants, the

    current margins may not be sustainable in the long run.

    The DPCO is likely to be significantly diluted soon though

    there is litigation pending over it in supreme court. In case the new

    order is passed the pressure on pricing of MNC pharma products is

    likely to go away. Companies with high DPCO coverage currently

    and strong brands in place are expected to benefit.

    A new concept that is gaining momentum in the pharma

    industry is contract research and contract manufacturing. Given the

    low cost, high quality advantage, Indian companies are poised to

    benefit from contract research business on behalf of multinationals.

    As for contract manufacturing, large global pharmaceutical

    companies are finding it profitable to outsource production. To

    cash in on these opportunities much large production houses in the

    country are becoming US FDA compliant.

    The penetration of health insurance is abysmally low in the

    country. The entry of private players would not only bring in

    quantum leap in the health insurance business but also increase

    capital inflows into this sector. With drug prices expected to

    increase post 2005, health insurance could provide a cushion

    against it and thus maintain the demand for drugs.

    On the exports front, the global generics market is growing

    at the rate of 10% to 12% and drugs having estimated sales of over

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    45/104

    45

    US$ 55 bn expected to go off patent in the next few years. This

    coupled with the fact that the US government is facilitating a

    speedy introduction of generic drugs into the market, increasing

    the number of generics drugs in its Mediclaim policy, bodes well

    for generic exporters. However the opportunity here may not be as

    big as stated above, because the prices fall drastically once the

    drug goes off patent.

    BANKING

    With the economic growth picking up pace and the

    investment cycle on the way to recovery, the banking sector has

    witnessed a transformation in its vital role of intermediating

    between the demand and supply of funds. The revived credit off

    take (both from the food and non food segments) and structuralreforms has paved the way for a change in the dynamics of the

    sector itself. Besides gearing up for the compliance with Basel

    accord, the sector is also looking forward to consolidation and

    investments on the FDI front.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    46/104

    46

    Public sector banks have been very proactive in their

    restructuring initiatives be it in technology implementation or

    pruning their loss assets. Windfall treasury gains made in the

    falling interest rate regime were used for writing off the doubtful

    and loss assets. Incremental provisioning made for asset slippages

    have safeguarded the banks from witnessing a sudden impact on

    their bottom lines.

    Retail lending (especially mortgage financing) formed a

    significant portion of the portfolio for most banks and the entities

    customized their products to cater to the diverse demands. With

    better penetration in the semi urban and rural areas the banks

    garnered a higher proportion of low cost deposits thereby

    economizing on the cost of funds.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    47/104

    47

    Apart from streamlining their processes through technology

    initiatives such as ATMs, telephone banking, online banking and

    web based products, banks also resorted to cross selling of

    financial products such as credit cards, and mutual funds and

    insurance policies to augment their fee based income.

    Key points

    Supply: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) controls liquidity.

    Demand: India is a growing economy and demand for credit is

    high though it could be cyclical.

    Barriers to entry: Licensing requirement, investment in

    technology and branch network.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    48/104

    48

    Bargaining power of suppliers: High during periods of tight

    liquidity. Trade unions in public sector banks can be anti reforms.

    Depositors may invest elsewhere if interest rates fall.

    Bargaining power of customers: For good creditworthy

    borrowers bargaining power is high due to the availability of large

    number of banks

    Competition: High- There is public sector banks, private sector

    and foreign banks along with non-banking finance companies

    competing in similar business lines.

    Prospects:

    RBI's soft interest rate policy has helped increase the

    liquidity in the market, however credit off take has not exactly

    been robust. Going forward, the scenario is set to change in favour

    of higher credit off take due to expected improvement in

    agricultural output on the back of good monsoons as well as

    revival in the Indian industry. However the same cannot be said for

    the interest rate regime. Higher inflation and the prospect of the US

    raising interest rates may necessitate a hike in interest rates in thedomestic markets also. This may in turn curb the growth of the

    credit in the economy. Hence while the growth in credit may still

    be robust, a higher interest rate scenario may however limit the

    potential.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    49/104

    49

    While the new law regarding securitization and foreclosure

    of assets may take a while to bear any large benefits, currently the

    benefits of increased power in the hands of the lender are making

    the borrowers to come to the negotiating table. FY04 saw a

    scenario where the borrowers were forced to negotiate with the

    lenders, which consequently led to the borrowers returning some of

    the dues to the lenders. Going forward the new law will bring

    about greater accountability within the system and ensure that

    borrowers do not take undue advantage of the system. Already an

    asset reconstruction company has been set up by SBI in partnership

    with other institutions like ICICI Bank and IDBI. If properly

    implemented, this new law may lead to significant benefits for the

    banking sector as a whole.

    Currently the banking sector in the country is strongly

    fragmented and hence with further policy changes taking place in

    the sector, consolidation is likely to take place at a faster rate.

    However this is subject to the removal of the ceiling on voting

    rights will ensure that private sector and foreign banks will be in a

    much better position to carry out acquisitions in the banking sector.

    A hike in FDI capital limits in the sector would further go a long

    way in the process of consolidation.

    In terms of credit growth, going forward India's core sector

    is witnessing a revival of sorts. The manufacturing sector

    especially led by steel and cement industries has shown significant

    improvement in FY05. We expect the trend to continue. Hence as

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    50/104

    50

    corporate growth picks up lending too is likely to see an up tick.

    Retail credit off-take is expected to remain strong going forward

    with the housing finance industry, the main contributor to credit

    off-take from this segment, expected to grow between 20%-25% in

    the next 3-4 years.

    TELECOM

    Although India's teledensity has improved from 3.64% in

    March 2001 to over 7.5% in March 2004, we are way behind other

    developing nations and also the Asian economies. The total annual

    telecom revenue is estimated to be around Rs 435 bn and the sector

    can broadly be divided into three segments, basic telephony,

    cellular telephony and the Internet.

    The cellular telephony segment has emerged as the fastest

    growing segment in the Indian telecom industry. In fact, the

    segment achieved a landmark in FY03 when for the first time;

    more cellular subscribers were added than fixed line subscribers. A

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    51/104

    51

    slew of tariff reduction in the past 18 months has helped the

    segment to gain in popularity. The cellular segment is playing an

    important role in the industry by making itself available in the rural

    and semi urban areas where teledensities are the lowest and where

    the fixed line services will take some time to come because of high

    capital investments required building a network.

    As far as the internet services are concerned, currently there

    are about 130 ISPs (internet service providers) who cater to an

    estimated 9.8 m users through 1.7 m connections. Currently, two

    firms, Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) and Satyam Infoway

    Ltd (Sify) dominate the internet services landscape by accounting

    for nearly 66% of the market.

    On the international basic telephony front, the end of

    VSNL's monopoly in 2002 brought two private players in the

    international basic telephony business and the immediate effect

    was the fall in tariffs. In the first six months only, the tariffs fell by

    50% and the trend is likely to continue. With the most favored

    customer status given to VSNL by fixed line majors like BSNL

    and MTNL going away in FY04, the segment witnessed fierce

    competition

    In order to ensure fair competition and protection of

    consumer interests, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)

    was established in 1997 for providing a policy framework and

    guiding the companies in the right direction. Although, TRAI has

    had few successes to its credit, there are a couple of issues like the

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    52/104

    52

    current WLL row and the controversy regarding the move toward

    an unification licensing regime (under this, one player can provide

    all the services viz. Basic, cellular, International Long Distance,

    National Long Distance in one circle or nationally) which need to

    be resolved quickly so that it benefits both the companies and the

    consumers.

    Key points

    Supply: Intense competition has resulted in prompt service to the

    subscribers. However, smaller towns and villages continue to have

    waiting periods on account of non-availability of adequate

    infrastructure.

    Demand: Given the low penetration levels in the country and

    continuously falling tariffs, demand will continue to remain higher

    in the foreseeable future across all the segments.

    Barriers to entry: High capital investments, older and well-

    established players who have a nation wide network, license fee,

    continuously evolving technology and falling tariffs.

    Bargaining power of suppliers: The suppliers to fixed line

    providers have low bargaining power on account of monopoly ofBSNL and MTNL. In the cellular services, CDMA suppliers have

    significant bargaining power, as it is a proprietary technology.

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    53/104

    53

    Bargaining power of customers: A wide variety of choices

    available to customers both in fixed as well as mobile telephony

    have resulted in increased bargaining power for the customers.

    Competition: The entry of fourth cellular player and

    commencement of WLL services has resulted in intense

    competition in the bigger cities. Reducing tariffs will hurt the new

    entrants, as they will be unable to recover their high capital

    investments.

    Prospects:

    As far as the fixed line business goes, the low penetration

    levels in the country and the increasing demand for data based

    services such as the internet will act as major catalysts in the

    growth of this segment, which is expected to touch 66 m

    subscribers by 2005. The huge market share of public sector

    behemoths, MTNL and BSNL (together they account for 97% of

    the total fixed line connections) is unlikely to dwindle significantly

    in the near term. This is on account of high capital investments

    required in setting up a nation wide network. As a result, the

    private sector players will have to rely on key business centers and

    pockets of high urbanization for their growth.

    Increasing choice and one of the lowest tariffs in the world

    have made the cellular services an attractive proposition for the

    average consumer. The segment has grown at over 160% in FY03

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    54/104

    54

    and almost 65% of the incremental subscribers in the telecom

    sector were mobile phone users as compared to fixed line users. It

    is being estimated that during the tenth five-year plan, around 31.6

    m subscribers would jump onto the cellular bandwagon all over

    India and this would entail an investment to the tune of Rs 252.4

    bn. However, if the industry has to achieve the growth target and

    attract the necessary investments, further policy measures like hike

    in FDI limits may have to be implemented.

    The International Long Distance (ILD) telephony business is

    expected to witness increased competition with the entry of private

    players. Already, private players like Bharti and Data Access have

    started providing ILD services and this has pulled the tariffs down

    by 50%. A couple of other players have also acquired the license

    and are most likely to roll out their services in the near future.

    Although this would result in depressed revenues in the near term,

    low tariffs would ultimately result in increased volumes and higher

    usage. Therefore we feel that instead of a single player calling the

    shots, there will be enough room for every ILD service provider to

    grow.

    The segment of International Long Distance was witness to

    another action recently, when Reliance Infocom acquired FLAG,

    an international provider of wholesale telecom network transport

    and communications. Thus VSNL, which was the sole provider of

    international bandwidth till a year back, will face increased

    competition as a result of the FLAG deal.

    The Internet services market is not growing as fast as was

    expected. The high growth in the region of 50% seems to be a

    thing of the past as the number of subscribers is growing by less

    than 10% on a quarter-to-quarter basis. High charges seem to be

    the major impediment for growth. A majority of the access charge

    goes toward paying for the local telephone charge and these

    telephone companies refuse to share the revenues or reduce the

    charges. However with the entry of private players into the

    business of fixed telephony, the charges are expected to come

    down. The government's decision to allow voice-based services on

    Internet is also likely to boost the prospects of the ISP industry.

    AUTOMOBILES

    The Indian automotive industry consists of five segments:

    commercial vehicles; multi-utility vehicles & passenger cars; two-

    wheelers; three-wheelers; and tractors. With 5,822,963 units sold

    in the domestic market and 453,591 units exported during the first

    nine months of FY2005 (9MFY2005), the industry (excluding

    tractors) marked a growth of 17% over the corresponding previous.

    The two-wheeler sales have witnessed a spectacular growth trend

    since the mid nineties.

    Two-wheelers: Market Size & Growth

    In terms of volume, 4,613,436 units of two-wheelers were sold in

    the country in 9MFY2005 with 256,765 units exported. The total

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    56/104

    56

    two-wheeler sales of the Indian industry accounted for around

    77.5% of the total vehicles sold in the period mentioned.

    Demand Drivers

    The demand for two-wheelers has been influenced by a number of

    factors over the past five years. The key demand drivers for the

    growth of the two-wheeler industry are as follows:

    Inadequate public transportation system, especially in the semi-

    urban and rural areas;

    Increased availability of cheap consumer financing in the past 3-

    4 years;

    Increasing availability of fuel-efficient and low-maintenance

    models;

    Increasing urbanisation, which creates a need for personaltransportation;

    Changes in the demographic profile;

    Difference between two-wheeler and passenger car prices, which

    makes two-wheelers the entrylevel vehicle;

    Steady increase in per capita income over the past five years; and

    Increasing number of models with different features to satisfy

    diverse consumer needs.

    INFRASTRUCTURE

    According to the India infrastructure Report (IIR),

    currently 5.5 percent of the GDP is invested in the infrastructuresector. This needs to be increased to 7 percent within the next three

    years and 8 per cent by 2005-06, by which time the annual level of

    investment in infrastructural facilities is projected to treble or rise

    even more, from the current level of Rs. 6000 billion (US$52

    billion) by 2005-2006.

    The total infrastructure investment requirements for the

    next five years again have been estimated in the report at about Rs.

    4000-4500.

    The task of finding such large amounts and thereafter deploying

    them productively calls for a close partnership between the public

    and private sectors, with a vital role reserved for foreign capital.

    To finance this large short fall, the domestic saving rate needs to

    be increased by a minimum of 26.7%. besides this has to be

    supplemented at the margin by FDI. However, this "margin is

    indeed very important since the role of foreign investment has to

    be read not only as a gap filler between saving and investment but

    also as a means for bringing better technology and management.

    MEDIA

    The Indian entertainment and media (E&M) industry is poised to

    grow at 19 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to

    reach Rs 837.4 billion by 2010 from Rs. 353 billion (Rs 35,300

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    58/104

    58

    crore).

    The television segment is slated to grow from its present size of Rs

    148 billion to Rs 427 billion by 2010, according to a Federation of

    Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry ( FICCI) and

    PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report.

    Economic growth, rising income levels, consumerism, coupled

    with technological advancements and policy initiatives taken by

    the Indian government, which are encouraging the inflow of

    investment, will prove to be the key drivers for the entertainment

    and media industry.

    The industry has been forecast to outperform the economic growth

    in each year till 2010.

    Today media penetration is poor in lower socio-economic classes,

    but efforts to increase it even slightly are likely to deliver much

    higher results, simply due to the absolute numbers being large, he

    added.

    Strong economic growth, rising consumer spending and regulatory

    corrections are drawing foreign investments in most segments of

    the E&M industry, especially the print media.

    ANALYSIS

    This chapter concentrates on testing the performance of

    selected securities with market index. This is done by employing

    statistical or technical tools viz., correlation analysis, relative

    strength index and moving average. In this study, an attempt is

    made to test the responsiveness of the selected security to the

    market index (BSE sensex). For this proposes of testing five major

  • 8/7/2019 Performance of Selected Securities in Comparison With Market Index-Vishwas HK-04120

    scrips were considered from five different industries (aluminum

    consumer goods, pharmaceutical, banking, and telecom).

    In the below given tables and graphs, correlation co-efficient

    was calculated by taking price movements and index movements,

    strength of security were studied by drawing relative strength

    index and return on security is compared with market return by

    moving average.

    Correlation co-efficient = (covariance of market and stock) / (SD

    Of stock * SD of market)

    Relative strength index = (security price / market indicator)

    Monthly moving average= (opening price / base price) * 100
