Objective
To determine the beta of Savita Oil Technologies Ltd. and analyze its significance in comparison with the Nifty50 index.
Literature Review
Petroleum Industry and Stock Market Trends
Mehta & Kapoor (2022) discussed how oil-based companies in India contribute to industrial growth and energy security. They noted that stock prices of these companies are influenced by crude oil prices, government policies, and global energy trends.
Volatility in Energy Stocks
Iyer (2021) highlighted that companies in the energy sector often show moderate market sensitivity. Their performance is closely linked to raw material costs and international trade regulations, leading to mixed volatility patterns compared to market indices like Nifty50.
Data Collection
Weekly closing price data of Savita Oil Technologies Ltd. and Nifty50 index were collected for the period 01-01-2024 to 31-12-2024. The relationship between Savita Oil’s stock price (Y) and Nifty50 index (X) was examined using linear regression analysis.
Data Analysis
Equation: Savita Oil = α + β (Nifty50)
Regression results:
-
α (Intercept) = 27.048
-
β (Beta) = 0.400
-
R² Value = 0.093 (9.3% of the variation in Savita Oil’s stock price is explained by Nifty50)
-
F-Value = 4.98
-
P-Value = 0.048
Interpretation
The beta value of 0.400 suggests that Savita Oil Technologies Ltd. is significantly less volatile than the market. A beta less than 1 indicates that the stock is more stable and reacts less aggressively to market movements. The statistically significant p-value (0.048 < 0.05) confirms a meaningful relationship between Savita Oil’s stock price and the Nifty50 index.
Conclusion
Savita Oil Technologies Ltd., with a beta of 0.400, represents a low-risk investment option. While it may not offer rapid price appreciation, it provides stability and consistency, making it attractive to risk-averse or long-term investors. Its niche product segment and innovation-driven growth further support its resilience.
