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 Shalimar Paints Ltd. (i.e. Y) were calculated.
Data Analysis: – Equation “Y= -0.3009+1.349(X)”
(tstat = 1.6770)
n = 50, R2 = 0.33, F = 24.62
The above equation shows the relationship between the closing price of Nifty 50 (x) and the closing price of Shalimar Paints Ltd. (y) the positive sign means a positive relationship meaning if “x” rises “y” also rises and vice versa. If “x” rises by 1 unit, “y” rises by 1.34 unit. N means there are 50 observations, t stat for b is 4.9620 which is less than the table value (t.05,48= 2.0106) so the t stat for b is not significant @5% level. R2 is 0.33 which means 33% of y is explained by x. As the calculated value of F is 24.62 which is greater than the table value (F 0.05,1,48 4.0420), the overall model is statistically significant at the 5% level.
Conclusion:
If b>1, Shalimar Paints Ltd.‘s share is so good for long-term investment.
