Security Analysis of Fmcg Sector
ANALYSIS :-

In this era of high volatility in markets, investors look at several parameters before investing in stocks for example EPS, earning growth rate, debt/equity , p/e ratios. These parameters will no doubt help us to select the best companies but beta is one such parameter which can tell us about the returns with the volatility of a particular stock with respect to market.
The concept of beta is actually very simple - it 's a measure of individual stock risk relative to the overall stock market risk. Beta analysis can provide great insights into the movements of a particular stock relative to market movements
Before investing in a company 's stock, the beta analysis allows an investor to understand if the price of that security has been more or less volatile than the market itself.
In our assignment we have worked on five companies ITC, Dabur,HUL, Nestle, and Britannia and calculated Rate of Return(%), Standard Deviation and Beta value. Result of calculation is below:-

    Even though the project will invest in advertising and technology, but these investments will bolster Ameritrade’s position in the deep-discount brokerage market and from this market the company will generate all its revenues.

    Betas provide a convenient measure of systematic risk of the volatility of an asset relative to the market volatility. J.Choi & M.Richardson (n.d) stated that the asset volatility is time-varying and that financial leverage matters and has a large influence on equity volatility. Besides that, the systematic risk is defined as the probability that the financial system as a whole might become unstable, rather that the health of individual market participants (E.V.Murphy, 2012). Sometimes, systematic risk is called as market risk. According to the statement above, a summary can be made that the betas is used to determine the systematic risk where been influence by the volatility of an asset; however, the volatility is influence by the time change and financial leverage.

    However, we considered these betas to be too high, the cause of which we traced to the high level of debt. We then looked at the beta for Philip Morris (.88) in 1988 as a pure play substitute. This was an appropriate decision, as MG’s strategy was to sell the food division and maintain the tobacco division alone. After group discussion, we opted to use a beta of 1.2, lower than 2.77, as that was unreasonably high, but higher than 1, as a company with that much debt will inherently have more risk than the market as a whole (see Exhibit…
