EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The field of equity research is very vast and one has to look into various aspects of the
functioning of the company to get to any conclusion about the possible performance of the
company in the market. Investors like Warren Buffet made a fortune out of investments in the
stock market, which is quiet impossible without proper research about the companies. The field
of equity research is full of challenge. In a world that is shrinking in size due to information
technology and blurring boundaries between nation, stock market (or the equities market), which
is considered to be in its infant stage, is all set to grow in size.
The project on Equity Research was carried out by self-study. It also provided an insight
on what various services such as broking houses provide and what efforts are required to manage
such organizations.
The reason behind choosing this project is that it provides hands on experience with what goes
on in the stock market on a day-to-day basis. Some value investors only look at present
assets/earnings and dont place any value on future growth. Other value investors base strategies
completely around the estimation of future growth and cash flows. Despite the different
methodologies.
The project initiated with understanding the mannerisms of the stock market trading
followed by the dynamics of the pharmaceutical sector. Some of the major players in
pharmaceutical sector were then chosen for further analysis. These companies were further
studied in detail with respect to their financials and the managements future plans regarding the
functioning of the companies and their global forays.

EQUITY:In accounting and finance, equity is the residual claim or interest of the most junior class
of investors in assets, after all liabilities are paid. If valuations placed on assets do not exceed
liabilities, negative equity exists. In an accounting context, Shareholders equity represents the
remaining interest in assets of a company, spread among individual shareholders of common or
preferred stock.
At the start of a business, owners put some funding into the business to finance assets.
This creates liability on the business in the shape of capital as the business is a separate entity
form its owners. Businesses can be considered to be, for accounting purposes, sums of liabilities
and assets; this is the accounting equation. After liabilities have been accounted for, the positive
remainder is deemed the owners interest in the business.
This definition is helpful to understand the liquidation process in case of bankruptcy. At
first, all the secured creditors are paid against proceeds from assets. Afterwards, a series of
creditors, ranked in priority sequence, have the next claim/right on the residual proceeds.
Ownership equity is the last or residual claim against assets, paid only after all other creditors are
paid. In such cases where even creditors could not get enough money to pay their bills, nothing is
left over to reimburse owners equity. Thus owners equity is reduced to zero. Ownership equity
is also known as risk capital, liable capital and equity.

EQUTY SHARES
Total equity capital of a company is divided into equal units of small denominations, each
called a share. For example, in a company the total equity capital of 1,00,00,000 is divided into
10,00,000 units of Rs 10 each. Each such unit of Rs 10 is called a Share. Thus, the company then
8

is said to have 10,00,000 equity shares of Rs 10 each. The holders of such shares are members of
the company and have voting rights.

EQUITY INVESTMENT
Equity investment generally refers to the buying and holding of shares of stock on a stock
market by individuals and firms in anticipation of income from dividends and capital gain as the
value of the stock rises. It also sometimes refers to the acquisition of equity participation in a
private company or a startup. When the investment is in infant companies, it is referred to as
venture capital investing and is generally understood to be higher risk than investment in listed
going-concern situations.

Why should one invest in Equity in particular?

When you buy a share of a company you become a shareholder in that company. Equities
have the potential to increase in value over time. It also provides your portfolio with the growth
necessary to reach your long term investment goals. Research studies have proved that the
equities have outperformed most other forms of investments in the long term. Equities are
considered the most challenging and the rewarding, when compared to other investment options.
Research studies have proved that investments in some share with a longer tenure of investment
have yielded far superior returns than any other investment. However, this does not mean all
equity investments would guarantee similar high returns. Equities are high risk investments. One
needs to study them carefully before investing.

How to invest in Equity Shares?

Investors can buy equity from Security market that is from Primary market or Secondary
market. The primary market provides the channel for sale of new securities. Primary market
provides opportunity to issuers of securities; Government as well as corporate, to raise resources
to meet their requirements of investment and/or discharge some obligation. Investors can buy
shares of a company through IPO when it is first time issued to public. Once shares are issued to
the public it is traded in the secondary market. Stock exchange only acts as facilitator for trading
of equity shares. Anyone who wishes to buy shares of a company can buy it form existing
shareholder of a company.

CHAPTER-3 ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATAIONS

EQUITY RESEARCH
Equity research is what an equity research analyst does. Equity research is a study of
equities or stocks for the purpose of investments. Equities or common stock comprises a big
chunk in any companys capital and shareholders need to know whether to stay invested in the
company or sale the shares and come out.
As an individual, it is time consuming to do equity research i.e. to study the company, its
financial statements, products, management and take a decision about investment. Exactly for the
same reason there are people working in research companies whose job is to do equity research
and recommend companies for investment.

PURPOSE:
Purpose of equity research is to study companies, analyze financials, and look at
quantitative and qualitative aspects mainly for decision: Whether to invest or not.

RESEARCH TECHNIQUE
17

The project is on equity research analysis of the sectors. Hence study has to be done on
the basis of information and news available about the sectors i.e. secondary data by various
modes. This research had to be completed by doing Fundamental analysis and Technical analysis
of the companies.
Secondary data was collected from the internet, company websites, magazines and various
articles. However the main source of information is Annual Report issued by the companies and
also quarterly reports of the current year showing their performances in current market scenario.
Firstly data was analyzed on the basis of the industry. The industry i.e. Pharmaceutical
industry is focused on and its performance and relation with the Indian economy was monitored
and then specific stocks were chosen to be invested in depending upon the fundamentals of the
company stocks. These stocks were individually analyzed and then measured whether it would
give maximum returns if invested in.
The research on the sectors and companies in those sectors is explained in the later part
of the report.

18

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Fundamental analysisof a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health,
its management and competitive advantages, and its competitors and markets. When analyzing a
stock, futures contract, or currency using fundamental analysis there are two basic approaches
one can use; bottom up analysis and top down analysis. The term is used to distinguish such
analysis from other types of investment analysis, such as quantitative analysis and technical
analysis.
Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and present data, but with the goal of
making financial forecasts. There are several possible objectives:
To conduct a company stock valuation and predict its probable price evolution,
To make a projection on its business performance,
To evaluate its management and make projected decisions,
Fundamental analysis includes:
1. Economic analysis
2. Industry analysis
3. Company analysis
On the basis of these three analyses the intrinsic value of the shares are determined. This is
considered as the true value of the share. If the intrinsic value is higher than the market price it
is recommended to buy the share. If it is equal to market price then hold the share and if it is
less than the market price then sell the shares.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
Should I buy today? What will prices be tomorrow, next week, or next year? Wouldnt
investing be easy if we knew the answers to these seemingly simple questions? Technical
analysis has the answers to these questions.

19

Technical analysis is the process of analysing a securitys historical prices in an effort to

determine probable future prices. This is done by comparing current price action with
comparable historical price action to predict a reasonable outcome.
Simply put, technical analysis is the study of prices, with charts being the primary tool.
Technical analysts are sometimes referred to as chartists because they rely almost exclusively on
charts for their analysis.
Technical analysis is applicable to stocks, indices, commodities, futures or any tradable
instrument where the price is influenced by the forces of supply and demand. Price refers to any
combination of the open, high, low or close for a given security over a specific timeframe. The
time frame can be based on intraday, daily, weekly or monthly price data and last a few hours or
many years.
Technicians, as technical analysts are called, are only concerned with two things:
1. What is the current price?
2. What is the history of the price movement?
The price is the end result of the battle between the forces of supply and demand for the
companys stock. The objective of analysis is to forecast the direction of the future price. By
focusing on price and only price, technical analysis represents a direct approach.
Technicians believe it is best to concentrate on what and never mind why. Why did the
price go up? It is simple, more buyers than sellers. After all, the value of any asset is only what
someone is willing to pay for it.

20

TYPES OF CHARTS USED IN TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

LINE CHART

The line chart is one of the simplest charts. It is formed by plotting one price point, usually
the close, of a security over a period of time. Connecting the dots, or price points, over a period
of time, creates the line.
Some investors and traders consider the closing level to be more important than the open,
high or low. By paying attention to only the close, intraday swings can be ignored. Line charts
are also used when open, high, and low data points are not available.

21

BAR CHART

Perhaps the most popular charting method is the bar chart. The high, low and close are
required to form the price plot for each period of a bar chart. The high and low are represented
by the top and bottom of the vertical bar and the close is the short horizontal line crossing the
vertical bar. On a daily chart, each bar represents the high, low and close for a particular day.
Weekly charts would have a bar for each week based on Fridays close and the high and low for
that week.

CANDLESTICK CHART
22

Originating in Japan over 300 years ago, candlestick charts have become quite popular in
recent years. For a candlestick chart, the open , high, low and close are all required. A daily
candlestick is based on the open price, the intraday high and low, and the close. A weekly
candlestick is based on Mondays open, the weekly high-low range and Fridays close.
Many traders and investors believe that candlestick charts are easy to read, especially
the relationship between the open and the close. White (clear) candlesticks from when the close
is higher than the open black (soild) candlesticks from when the close is lower than the open.
The white and black portion formed from the open and close is called the body (white body or
black body). The lines above and below are called shadows and represent the high and low.

23

INTRODUCTION TO TRENDLINES

Trendlines are an important tool in technical analysis for both trend identification and
confirmation. A trendline is a straight line that connects two or more price points and then
extends into the future to act as a line of support or resistance.
Trends in charts are found to take decisions regarding buying, selling, or holding the stock.
When a stock is in uptrend it is good stock to buy and when a stock is in down trend it is
advisable to sell that particular stock or wait for trend in the stock to change before taking buying
decision.

24

INTRODUCTION TO SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE

Once you understand the concept of a trend, the next major concept is that of support and
resistance. Youll often hear technical analysts talk about the opening battle between the bulls
and the bears, or the struggle between buyers and sellers. This is revealed by the prices a security
seldom moves above (resistance) or below (support).

What is Support?
Support is the price level at which demand is thought to be strong enough to prevent the
price from declining further. The logic dictates that as the price declines towards support and gets
cheaper, buyers become more inclined to buy and sellers, become less inclined to sell. By the
time the price reaches the support level, it is believed that demand will overcome supply and
prevent the price from falling below support.

What is Resistance?
Resistance is the price level at which selling is thought to be strong enough to prevent the
price from rising further. The logic dictates that as the price advances towards resistance, sellers
become more inclined to sell and buyers become less inclined to buy. By the time the price
reaches the resistance level, it is believed that supply will overcome demand and present the
price form rising above resistance.

25

As you can see in above figure, support is the price level through which a stock or
market seldom falls (illustrated by the blue arrows). Resistance, on the other hand, is the price
level that a stock or market seldom surpasses (illustrated by the red arrows).

OVERVIEW OF PHARMA SECTOR

As per Pharma Vision 2020, the Government of India aims to make India a global
leader in end-to-end drug manufacturing.
Manufacturing costs in India are approximately 35-40 per cent of those in the US due to
low installation and manufacturing costs.
Pharmaceutical exports have grown at a CARG of 68 per cent over the last decade.
Healthcare expenditure by the Government of India is expected to touch US$ 86.9 billion
by 2014.
The projected human resources requirement in the Indian pharma sector is estimates to be
about 21,50,000 by 2020.

PHARMA MANUFACTURING AND PATENTS

27

 India is home to 10,500 manufacturing units and over 3,000 pharma companies.
India accounts for 35.7 per cent (3000) of 8,374 Drug Master Files (DMFs) filed with
the USA, which is the highest outside of USA.
Higher spending on R&D, owing to Products Patents have made India a major destination
for generic drug manufacturing.
India has been accredited with approximately 907 CEPs, 845 TGA and 513 sites
registered with the USFDA.
Following the introduction of product patents, several multinational companies are
expected to launch patented drugs in India.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Penetration of health insurance is expected to more than double with over 650 million
people to be covered by 2020.
Increasing penetration of health insurance is likely to be driven by government-sponsored
initiatives such as RSBY and ESIC.

HOUSEHOLD SPEND AND GROWTH IN RURAL INDIA

28

 Due to increasing population and income levels, demand for high-end drugs is
expected to reach US$ 8 billion by 2015.
Expenditure on pharmaceutical is likely to increase to over 40 per cent of the total
spending on healthcare by households by 2015 from 28 per cent in 2007.
With 70 per cent of Indias population residing in rural markets, various pharma
companies are investing in the distribution network in rural areas.
Increased penetration of chemists, especially in rural parts of the country would
make OTC drugs easily available.

Torrent Pharma, the flagship company of Torrent Group, is ranked amongst the top pharma
companies of India. It is a dominant player in the therapeutic areas of cardiovascular (CV) and
central nervous system (CNS) and has achieved significant presence in gastro-intestinal,
diabetology, anti-infective and pain management segments.
Recently it has also forayed into the oncology therapeutic segment while also strengthening its
focus on gynecology and pediatric segments. Right from pioneering niche marketing in India to
earning the sobriquet of the Company with the most first launches, Torrent Pharma has always
remained ahead of its competition.
Torrent Pharmas competitive advantage stems from its world-class manufacturing facilities,
advanced R&D capabilities, extensive domestic network and a widespread global presence.
It has three world-class manufacturing facilities at Indrad (Gujarat), Baddi (Himachal Pradesh)
and Sikkim. The facilities are approved by USFDA, WHO, MHRA, TGA and other global
regulatory bodies. A new facility is taking shape at Dahej SEZ in Western India, which will cater
to the international markets. Torrent Pharma is the sole manufacturer of Insulin Formulations for
Novo Nordisk in India since the early 90s and has also set up a dedicated formulation and
packaging facility for Insulin.
It is also amongst the few Indian pharma majors to recognize the importance of research and
development in the post 2005 GATT era. Its modern and well-equipped R&D Centre is ranked
amongst the best in the country and has a team of highly qualified scientists working on various

36

Drug Discovery and Development projects. The R&D Centre has been approved by USFDA and
various other regulatory authorities.
The Indian operations of the company are controlled through well-segregated marketing
divisions, strategically structured on specific therapeutic areas. Together, these divisions
spearhead the companys dominant position in the various therapeutic segments that it operates
in.
Recently Torrent Pharma entered into a definitive binding agreement with Elder Pharma to
acquire its branded domestic formulations business in India and Nepal. This will be the largest
acquisition by an Indian pharma company in the domestic market and will significantly
strengthen its position in the neutraceuticals and women healthcare segments.
Torrent Pharma has a strong international presence spanning over 70 countries across five
continents with over 1200 product registrations. It has wholly owned subsidiaries in USA, UK,
Germany, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Philippines Australia and other major markets. These wholly
owned subsidiaries spearheads the companys entry into several new regulated and semi
regulated international markets.
Today, Torrent Pharma, with its state of the art manufacturing and research facilities and a
global presence, is all poised to carve a niche for itself in the international pharma arena. It is
well set on an exciting growth phase in all directions.
