Identification of Value and/or Growth Stock In our investment simulation project, we have invested Rs. 1 million in different Nepalese (80%) and Indian (20%) stocks. For identifying if these stocks are value or growth stock, we have taken Price to Earning (P/E) ratio, Price to Book (P/B) ratio, and Return on Equity (ROE). P/E ratio and ROE of a company is compared with its related industry average. Closing price for all the stocks is taken as of 20th November, 2012. Most of the data for Nepalese stocks of commercial bank has been extracted from unaudited financial report of fourth quarter as on 31/03/2069 of the fiscal year 2068/69. Similarly, the data for the stocks of hydropower has been taken from unaudited financial report of first quarter of the fiscal year 2069/70. However, recent information of Chilime Hydropower was not available. So, the data from unaudited financial report of fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2068/69 is considered. In the case of Indian stocks, all the data are taken from websites of Reuters. The industry average P/E ratio and ROE for commercial banks are taken as average of 23 and 29 commercial banks respectively. For hydropower, the industry average has been taken from three major players of the market namely, Arun Valley Hydropower, Butwal Power, and Chilime Hydropower. Nepalese Stocks 1. Arun Valley Hydropower Dev. Co. Ltd. Closing Price = Rs. 348 per share Net Worth per Share = Rs 148.59 Price to Earning (P/E) Ratio = 17.49 times Industry Average P/E Ratio = 24.33 times P/B ratio is greater than 1, but P/E ratio is less than industry average. We consider this as a growth stock because, it is undertaking project like Kabeli which has huge growth prospect.

Price to Book (P/B) Ratio = Market price/Net worth = 348/148.59 = 2.34 times

2.
