Objective :
To find out the beta (β) of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and its significance.
Data Collection :
The data was collected by taking the weekly return of NIFTY50 and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited of dated time period of 1 year from 1st May 2023 to 30th April 2024 with the help of the NSE website. Friday’s closing price and weekly return were calculated.
The weekly return of Nifty50 was taken as (X) in terms of company (HAL) as Y and Y was regressed on X.
Data Analysis:
Regression Equation –
Y = intercept of HAL + β Weekly return of NIFTY 50
Weekly return of HAL = 123.75 + 0.58 Weekly Returns of NIFTY 50
(t-stat = 0.04)
N = 48, , R= 0.00, F = 0.00, P(VALUE)= 0.67
The above equation shows the relationship between Nifty 50 and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the Positive sign before the co-efficient of Nifty 50, tells us that there is a POSITIVE relationship. If the Nifty rises by 1unit, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited will rise by 0.58 units and vice versa.
The figure in bracket is T stats is (0.04) for beta. The P-value for which is 0.67 which is MORE than 0.05, meaning β is statistically NOT significant.
For N= 48, = 0.00, which means 0% of HAL’s return explained by NIFTY50.
F = 0.00 and the P value for that variable is 0.97, it is MORE than 0.05 meaning the overall model is statistically NOT significant at a 5% level.
Conclusion :
As per the given data of Relationship between HAL and NIFTY50. We know that: β value < 1, meaning Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is good for investment but for a long-term horizon.
