Case Study
Fundamental Analysis
Rajiv has just joined an investment company. He wanted to prove his theory of
stock market at his workplace. He had understanding of all the quantitative models,
economic impact and market sentiment on the movement of stock market from his course
on fundamental analysis in college.
Rajiv wanted to convince his colleges about the simplicity of fundamental
analysis by using simple known techniques to identify market potential.
It appeared to him that Indian stock markets can make use of this and that a
straight forward fundamental analysis can do the trick to beat other investment companies.
Rajiv began his fundamental analysis on the day Budget 2002 was announced.
The objective of the budget as segregated in term of his various component
were:
(1) Strength the growth of rural economy, especially agriculture and allied activities.
(2) Nurture the revolutionary potential of the new knowledge- based industries
such as Infotech, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals
(3) Strengthen and modernize traditional Industries such as textiles, leather, Argo

special emphasis on the poorest and weakest section of society.
(6) Strengthen Indian ?s role in the world economy through rapid growth of exports,
higher foreign investment and prudent external Debt management.
(7) Establish a credible framework of fiscal discipline.
The Indian economy ?s expected growth by 5.5% as against 6.8 % in
the previous year is a positive signal for industry. More importantly, industries
recovery seems finally to be underway from the cyclical down turn of the previous
2 years. The growth of GDP from manufacturing is expected to almost double to
7% in 1999- 2000 from 3.6% in 1998-99. The growth in GDP from the
construction sector is expected to accelerate to 9.0 % from 5.7%. The performance
of infrastructure sectors is expected to improve remarkably. The inflation rate has
dropped to International levels of 2 to 3 %.
The balance payments survived the twin shocks of the East Asian crisis and
the post- Pokhran sanctions with a low current account deficit and sufficient capital
inflows. This is supported by the continuing rise the foreign exchange reserves by
over US $ 2.4 billion, leading to a relatively stable exchange rate. Export
performance has improved at par with a better performing emerging economics.
The restoration of confidence in industry, hence, will be best reflected in the rise in
the stock market during the year 2001-2002.
Questions:
A) Why Rajiv took fundamental analysis to prove his theory of the stock
market at his workplace?
B) Should Rajiv perform any further analysis to confirm his findings?
