Objective:
To find out relationship between NIFTY50 and KALYAN JEWELLERS equity
Data Collection:
Data of NIFTY50 and KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited equity were downloaded from the website of NSE for a period of one year from the date of 1st January 2022 to 31st December 2022. Then friday’s closing prices were recorded as weekly closing prices and calculation was done for weekly return with the help of the formula (Y2 – Y1)/Y1 * 100, where Y2 is the observed friday’s closing price and Y1 is the preceding friday’s closing price. Later, weekly returns of KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited were regressed on the weekly return of NIFTY.
Data Analysis:
Equation: Y = 1.2998 + 0.3627X
(0.9934)
In the above equation,
N = 50
R2 = 0.020145
F = 0.98684
Explanation:
The above-mentioned equation tells us about the relationship between the weekly returns of NIFTY50 and KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited.
The presence of positive sign in the equation represents that there is direct relationship between the weekly returns of NIFTY50 and KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited i.e., if the value of NIFTY50 will rise, there will be a rise in the stock price of KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited and if there will be decline in the value of NIFTY50, then there will also be decline in the stock prices of KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited.

Total number of Observations are 50.
Figure in the bracket is T-stat and the P-Value of which is 0.006 which is less than 0.05 which means p is statistically significant at 3% level. Also, it is less than 0.01 so we can say that p is statistically significant at 1% level.
R2 is 0.020145 which means 2.01% of KALYAN JEWELLERS Limited(Y) is explained by NIFTY(X) balance 97.99% is error. Error here is due to variables which aren’t in the model.
