Stock markets are said to reflect the health of the country’s economy. On the
other hand, major economic indicators determine stock market movements to a large
extent. From a thorough analysis of the various economic indicators and its
implications on the stock markets, it is observed that stock market movements are
largely influenced by broad money supply, inflation, credit / deposit ratio and fiscal
deficit apart from political instability. Besides, fundamental factors like corporate
performance, industrial growth, etc., always exert a certain amount of influence on the
stock markets. Stock market volatility has been a major cause of concern for policy

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
The first and largest securities market in India, the Bombay Stock Exchange
(BSE) was established in 1875 as the Native Share and Stock Brokers' Association.
Based in Mumbai, India, the BSE lists close to 6,000 companies and is one of the
largest exchanges in the world. The BSE has helped develop the country's capital
markets, including the retail debt market, and helped grow the Indian corporate sector.
Securities listed by the BSE include stocks, stock futures, stock options, index

making dozens of trades a day there is a problem. These people are risk lovers. When
investing in stocks, bonds, or any investment instrument, there is a lot more risk than

Market risk
Market risk is the possibility that a portfolio will be affected by the overall activity
of the market as a whole. For example, the financial crisis of 2008-2009 resulted in
the market values (stock prices) of even profitable businesses decreasing significantly.

can help determine the risk an investor might take on when purchasing a specific
security.
BETA ESTIMATION:
the market has a beta of 1.0, and individual stocks are ranked according to how much
they deviate from the market. A stock that swings more than the market over time has
a beta above 1.0. If a stock moves less than the market, the stock's beta is less than
1.0. High-beta stocks are supposed to be riskier but provide a potential for higher
returns; low-beta stocks pose less risk but also lower returns.
Beta is used to calculate cost of equity. Recall that the cost of capital represents
the discount rate used to arrive at the present value of a company's future cash flows.
All things being equal, the higher a company's beta is, the higher its cost of capital
discount rate. The higher the discount rate, the lower the present value placed on the
company's future cash flows. In short, beta can impact a company's share valuation.
Advantages of Beta
if you think about risk as the possibility of a stock losing its value, beta has appeal as
with a price that bounces up and down more than the market. It's hard not to think that
stock will be riskier than, say, a safe-haven utility industry stock with a low beta.
Besides, beta offers a clear, quantifiable measure, which makes it easy to work with.
Sure, there are variations on beta depending on things such as the market index used
and the time period measured, but broadly speaking, the notion of beta is fairly

Disadvantages of Beta

a defensive stock with a low beta. When it entered the merchant energy business and
assumed high debt levels, X's historic beta no longer captured the substantial risks the
company took on. At the same time, many technology stocks are relatively new to the
market and thus have insufficient price history to establish a reliable beta.
Another troubling factor is that past price movements are very poor predictors
of the future. Betas are merely rear-view mirrors, reflecting very little of what lies
ahead Furthermore, the beta measure on a single stock tends to flip around over time,
which makes it unreliable. Granted, for traders looking to buy and sell stocks within
short time periods, beta is a fairly good risk metric. However, for investors with long-

On 22 February 2010, Hyundai motors exported its 10,00,000th car, the feat

passenger car exporter and the second largest car manufacturer in the country. In the
similar lines, General Motors has announced its plans to export not less than 50,000
cars made in India by the year 2011. In yet another proposal, Ford Motors is to setup a
manufacturing facility costing about US$500 million in India with an annual capacity
of 250,000 cars. The firm has stated that the facility will play a major part in its
strategic plan to make India a hub for its global production business. In yet another
significant move, Fiat motors has stated that it will source a big volume of auto

Decrease in interest rates make loans cheaper and helps in boosting up the demand for
automobiles, whereas increase in interest rates make loans more expensive and act as
dampener for the demand. Consumer finance is the lifeline of the industry. Today,
consumer finance is easily available in India, which acts as the key driving force for
sales service, value for money, brand, etc. So, for the auto industry following are
o Brand: Brand plays a very important role in the automobile industry. Consumers
prefer quality and proven products. This is where a strong brand assumes an even
o New and better products: India, over the next 10-15 years, is expected to/will have
one of the largest young populations in the world. So, the frequent launch of new
products with new features and improved quality plays a vital role in the growth of
this industry.
o Technology: Technology plays a very important role in this industry and is thus
fuel technologies to take care of emerging needs of the consumers and environment.
Thus, R and D in this sector needs to focus more towards environment friendly
technology.
Having a wide distribution network for sales and an excellent after sales service is an
essential to survive and be successful in this industry. The wider the network, the
better it is. Transportation and distribution costs constitute around 20% of the total
cost.
The export market presents vast potential for growth. In the last 5 years, the
export of auto has increased by 22%, from 8 lakh in 2005-06 to 18 lakh in 2009-10.
24

The export is expected to grow even further in the future. The fluctuating exchange

population, the industry as a whole is facing the critical challenge of the shortage of
skilled manpower. India still needs to incorporate the latest technologies and to act on

o Rising steel price: Steel forms the majority of the input (approx. 65%). Thus, an
increase in steel prices places a lot of pressure on the margins of the manufacturers.
Primary steel producers have a lot of bargaining power because they are few in
numbers and are highly concentrated. Thus maintaining good relations with the
suppliers is important. In case of spare parts and ancillaries, the suppliers are highly

coming years. Rapid urbanization is another factor driving the demand for the
industry. There is a vast untapped rural market as well as a huge potential for exports.
Government supports this industry with favourable policies like the Automotive
Mission Plan 2016 in which it has envisaged the Indian auto industry to contribute
airports and higher GDP growth in the future will benefit the automobile sector.
However, the current tax structure seems to be a deterrent. India faces competition
from other low-cost countries like China, Brazil and Thailand where the tax structure
is more conducive for investment than India. The government is gradually trying to
bring about the necessary changes in the tax structure to make it more conducive for
investment.
It seems that in the long-run, the automobile industry is all set to grow. But, if
we talk about the future prospects of different segments of the automobile industry,
studying above mentioned facts, we see the long-term outlook for passenger vehicles
and two-wheeler segments seems to be bright, whereas for three-wheeler and the

Evaluation of Performance of Selected Automobile Companies
INTRODUCTION
This chapter deals with the analysis of performance of selected companies with the
help of calculating beta (β), Alpha (α),covariance and average return in the different year of
security, the covariance between the return of the security and the return of market are used
and also variance of the market returns is required. The formula for calculating the beta is the
covariance of the return of an asset with the return of the benchmark divided by the variance
The market beta coefficient is 1.00. Any stock with a beta higher than 1.00 is
considered more volatile than the market and therefore riskier to hold whereas stocks
with a beta lower than 1.00 is expected to rise or fall more slowly than the market.
