The project entitled “Comparative analysis of finance and banking equity
stocks” is about doing analysis on stocks and suggesting the investor
in making a decision to buy, sell or hold. The project consists of two
types of analysis.
1. Fundamental Analysis
2. Technical Analysis
2. Technical Analysis
Fundamental analysis consists of economy analysis, industry analysis and
company analysis. Economy analysis includes economic factors like GDP,
inflation rates, interest rates, exchange rates. Industry analysis
consists of analysis of industry recent developments in the industry
etc. Company analysis includes analyzing the company’s ratios etc.
Technical analysis mainly consists of charts, graphs etc. It takes the
closing prices and plots the graphs. It is mainly used for short term
purpose.
The project contains five banking and finance stocks namely, ICICI Bank,
HDFC Bank, Axis Bank, Infrastructure Development Finance Company Ltd
(IDFC Ltd), and Housing Development Finance Corporation Ltd. (HDFCL).
The analysis is done on these five stocks to determine which one is
better for investor. For each stock based upon the ratios I have
recommended which stock to buy. Some investors look for sales of a
company, some may look for dividend payout ratio. It again depends on
investor. Based upon the ratios he can choose which stock to invest.
At the end conclusion and recommendations have been specified so as to make the project work more meaningful and purposeful.
