Data Collection:
Data regarding the equity and nifty of Power Grid Corporation Of India Ltd has been downloaded from nseindia.com. After going in the historical data, the data of 1 year was taken from 1st october 2022 to 30th September 2023.
To simplify the process and see just the information needed the columns were deleted except date and closing rate. A column was added of the weekday in the data sheet and then the returns of equity and nifty were found by using the formula (Current dates price – Previous Dates price)/Previous date price * 100.
Further a regression table was formed through which an equation was made.
Weekly returns of Nifty = X
Weekly returns of SUN TV Equity = Y
The standard regression equation is.
Y = a + bx
Where, Y is the dependent variable (Power Grid Corporation)
X is the independent variable (Nifty)
a is the intercept,
b is the slope.
In case of Power Grid Corporation Ltd,
The equation formed is:
Y = 0.211527 + 0.10603X
Total Observations – 49
F – 1.764156
Significance – 0.190521001
R square – 0.036177304
The above equation shows the relationship between Nifty 50 and POWER GRID CORPORATION LTD. Return of POWER GRID CORPORATION is dependent variable and Return of Nifty 50 is independent variable. Positive sign means if Nifty50 increases POWER GRID CORPORATIONalso increases. If Nifty50 price rises by 1 unit, POWER GRID CORPORATION share price will rise by 0.106029581 and vice versa. No of observation are 49. T stat for b is 1.328215227 and the P value is 0.190521001, suggest that the slope coefficient (0.113) is not statistically significant. R-squared is 0.012, indicating that only a small percentage (1.2%) of the variability in POWER GRID CORPORATIONreturns is explained by the Nifty returns. Overall model is statistically insignificant at 5% level.
Conclusion:
Beta = 0.1095
As beta is less than 1 it is better suited for long term investment.
