1.1 INTRODUCTION
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. This
project on “Equity esearch! was carried out by self"study. This is limited learning and devoting
time towards equity research but it also provided an insight on what various services such
broking houses provide and what efforts are required to manage such organi#ations.
Equity esearch is the systematic study of the performance of companies in stock market
with help of fundamental analysis and technical analysis.
$. %undamental &nalysis'
%undamental analysis is the study of economic, industry and company conditions in an
effort to determine the value of a company s stock. %undamental analysis typically focuses on
key statistics in company(s financial statements to determine if the stock price is correctly valued
means the current price is equals to intrinsic value of the shares or not.
)ost fundamental information focuses on economic, industry and company statistics.
The typical approach to analysing a company involves four basic steps'
$. *etermine the condition of the general economy.
+. *etermine the condition of the industry.
. *etermine the condition of the company.
-. *etermine the value of the company(s stock.
+. Technical &nalysis'
Technical analysis is a method of evaluating the securities by analy#ing the statisticsgenerated by the market activity, such as past price and volume. In technical analysis, analysts
use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest future activity.
Technical analysis is a method of predicting future prices of a share based on its past
performance. Technical analysis is a specific tool to predict price movement of a share in near

future. Technical analysis is necessary for any investor and specifically for those companies
involved in equity trading. It is method of evaluating securities technical analysis take place by
analy#ing statistics generated by market activity, such as past prices and volume. Technical
analysts believe that the historical performance of stocks and markets are indications of future
performance.
In this project I had done only technical analysis of tate /ank of India and I0I0I /ank(s
shares and by using some methodologies which are e1plained in this project.
The need for technical analysis occurs when it is tried to convince customers who are not
interested in investing or who are not believers of share market such persons can be e1plained
about technical analysis and they can be taught evaluation by themselves so that they feel free in
investing. o, now a day(s very much importance is given by the investors to technical analysis
with equal impotence to fundamental analysis.

The analysis is focused on technical part of equity research only.
The recommendations made may not be a perfect prediction of the future as technical
analysis is not an absolutely accurate practice.
%or doing my project I have taken into consider only four parameters. These parameters
may not be enough to predict the future price movements.
I have done the technical analysis only for < months from this data we cannot predict
prices accurately.

3.1 TECHNIC/ N/YSIS
Technical &nalysis is important to form a view on the likely trend of the overall market,
and it is helpful to have some idea of how to go about selecting individual stocks. 3aturally, allinvestors would like their investments to appreciate rapidly in price, but stocks, which may
satisfy this wish, tend to accompanied by a substantially greater amount of risk then many
investors are normally willing to accept. 4owever, it is important to understand that investors
can be very conscious when it comes to stock ownership.
Technical analysis is the use of numerical series generated by market activity, such as
price and volume, to predict future price trends. The techniques applied to any market with a
comprehensive price history. 5rimarily, but not e1clusively, technical analysis is conducted by
studying charts of past price movement. )any different methods and tools are used in technical
analysis, but they all rely on the assumption that price patterns and trends e1ist in markets, and
that they can be identified and e1ploited.
Technical analysis or charting is considered to be as a supplement to %undamental
&nalysis of securities. &s an approach to investment analysis technical analysis is radically
different from fundamental analysis. hile the fundamental analysts believe that the market is
DA logical and $A psychological, the technical analysis assumes that its DA psychological
and $A logical. Technical analysis can be applied to any market with a comprehensive price
history. The premises of technical analysis were derived from empirical observations of financial
markets over hundreds of years. 5erhaps the oldest branch of technical analysis is the use of
candlestick techniques by 7apanese traders at least as early as the $Bth century, and still very
popular today.
DO9 THEORY
3ew tools and theories have been produced and e1isting tools have been enhanced at a
rapid rate in recent decades, with an increasing emphasis on computer"assisted techniques.
Technical analysis is not concerned with why a price is moving but rather whether it is moving in
a particular direction or in a particular chart pattern. Technical analysts believe that profits can be
made by Gtrend following.G In other words if a particular stock price is steadily rising 8trending
(11)
8/18/2019 Finance Dessertation on equity
12/38
upward9 then a technical analyst will look for opportunities to buy this stock. >ntil the technical
analyst is convinced this uptrend has reversed or ended, all else equal, he will continue to own
this security. &dditionally, technical analysts look for various price patterns to form on a price
chart and will take positions in anticipation of the e1pected move following that pattern. The
various tools of technical analysis assist the technician in determining when trends have formed,
ended, etc. and when particular patterns are unfolding.
:ne of the forecasting tools very popular among practitioners is technical analysis.
Technical analysis is the e1amination of past price movements in order to forecast future price
movements. Technical analysis is open to interpretation. )any times two technicians will look at
the same chart and paint two different scenarios or see different patterns. /oth would be able to
come up with logical support to justify their position.
In addition, even if stock prices completely followed a random walk, people would be
able to convince themselves that there are e patterns having a predictive value. It has become
more and more popular, as it offered an unlimited set of tools and signals and seemed to be an
interesting method of market analysis. It has been proven that stock prices most of the time
appro1imately follow a random walk pattern. 5sychologists have described a number of ways in
which people deal with randomness. &dditionally, market participants may be subject to herd
behavior.
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. 5rice refers to any
combination of the open, high, low, or closes for a given security over a specific time frame. The
time frame can be based on intraday 8$"minute, ;"minutes, $A"minutes, $;"minutes, A"minutes
or hourly9, daily, weekly or monthly price data and last a few hours or many years. In addition,
some technical analysts include volume or open interest figures with their study of price action.
Economists have traditionally been skeptical of the value of technical analysis, affirming the
theory of efficient markets that holds no strategy should allow investors and traders to make
unusual returns e1cept by taking e1cessive risk.

d. elative strength of a stock versus the overall market.
) ss'st %'th E&t#* Po'&t+ Technical analysis can help with timing a proper entry point.ome analysts use fundamental analysis to decide what to buy and technical analysis to
decide when to buy. Technical analysis can help spot demand 8support9 and supply
8resistance9 levels as well as breakouts. aiting for a breakout above resistance or
buying near support levels can improve returns.
9ENESS OF TECHNIC/ N/YSIS
1) &"*st B'"s+ 7ust as with fundamental analysis, technical analysis is subjective and
our personal biases can be reflected in the analysis. It is important to be aware of these
biases when analy#ing a chart.
2) O,e& to I&te#,#et"t'o&+ %urthering the bias argument is the fact that technical analysis
is open to interpretation. Even though there are standards, many times two technicians
will look at the same chart and paint two different scenarios or see different patterns.
/oth will be able to come up with logical support and resistance levels as well as key
breaks to justify their position. hile this can be frustrating, it should be pointed out
that technical analysis is more like an art than a science, somewhat like economics.
3) Too /"te+ Technical analysis has been critici#ed for being too late. /y the time the
trend is identified, a substantial portion of the move has already taken place. &fter such
a large move, the reward to risk ratio is not great. 6ateness is a particular criticism of
*ow Theory.

) T#"!e#?s Re5o#se+ 3ot all technical signals and patterns work. hen you begin to
study technical analysis, you will come across an array of patterns and indicators with
rules to match. %or instance' & sell signal is given when the neckline of a head and
shoulders pattern is broken. Even though this is a rule, it is not steadfast and can be
subject to other factors such as volume and momentum.
) In that same vein, what works for one particular commodity may not work for another.

CRITICS OF TECHNIC/ N/YSIS
• 3o one or group of trading rules seems to work consistently.
• ome prices moves are self"fulfilling because so many chartist trades on
breakouts@often are temporary.
• )ost of the trading rules require a great deal of subjective judgment.
hen price volatility goes down technical profits may also fall.
Technical &nalysis also happens to break one major jin1 of fundamental analysis as it gives an
e1act price target and answers many questions like,
J hen to enter the marketK
J hether to buy or sellK
J If buy= sell then at what pricesK
J 4ow much should be the profit objectiveK
J here should one place a stop lossK
:wing to all the above mentioned factors it could safely be concluded that Technical &nalysis is
one of the better tools for price forecasting. &nd in today(s rapidly changing world investors look
for short time returns which could better be achieved only by a superior price forecasting systemand in this case using Technical &nalysis.

will have to wait for one to two months time period. /ecause the technical
indicators are showing decreasing trend and at future price will go down for

4.3 CONC/USION
Technical analysis appears to be a highly controversial approach to security analysis. It
has its ardent votaries' it has its severe critics. The advocates of technical analysis offer the
following interrelated arguments in support of their position'
hift in demand and supply are gradual rather than instantaneous. Technical analysis
helps in detecting these shifts rather early and hence provides clues to future price
movement. 0harts provide what has happened in the past and hence give a sense of volatility that can
be e1pected from the stock. %uture, the information on trading volume which is ordinarily
provide at the bottom of a bar chart gives a fair idea of the e1tent of the public interest in
the stock
emember that stocks are never too high for you to begin buying or too low to
begin selling. /ut after the initial transaction don(t make a second unless the
first shows you a profit.
There is only one side to the stock market and it is not the bull side or the bear
side but the right side.
&lways sell what shows you a loss and keep what shows you profit. Technical analysis can be used, when to buy and to when to sell the stock.
It is very helpful in determining the trend of the stock price.
