Data Collections: – Data is taken from 01-06-2022 to 31-07-2023. It has been downloaded from the NSE site, then Friday’s closing price was sorted and weekly returns of Nifty (i.e. X) and VST INDUSTRY (i.e. Y) were calculated.
Data Analysis: – Equation “Y=0.5961-0.7206(X)”
(tstat = 3.0717)
n = 50, R2 = 0.1643, F = 9.4356
The above equation shows the relationship between the closing price of Nifty 50 (x) and the closing price of VST INDUSTRY the negative sign means a negative relationship meaning if “x” rises “y” falls and vice versa. If “x” rises by 1 unit, “y” falls by 0.7206, “n” means there are 50 observations, and figures in brackets are tstat for “b”, so “b” is not as Calculated tstat for b i.e. 3.0717 is higher than tabulated t(t0.5,49DF=1.677) so reject H0 and accept H1. R2 is 0.1643 means 11.87% of y is explained by x. As the calculated value of F =9.4356 is more than the tabulated F (F 0.05,1DF,49DF) = 4.038, the overall model is statistically significant at the 5% level.
So overall the model is statistically significant at the 5% level.
Conclusion:
If b<1, VST INDUSTRY share is good for long term investment.
