This model forms the theoretical foundation for regressing individual stock returns against market returns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Fama and French (1992) expanded the understanding of asset pricing by highlighting that firm size and book-to-market ratios also influence stock returns, suggesting that market returns alone may not fully explain stock performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Brooks (2019) emphasized the application of ordinary least squares (OLS) regression in financial econometrics to evaluate stock\u2013market relationships, interpreting beta, R\u00b2, and statistical significance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Studies focusing on the Indian healthcare sector indicate that healthcare stocks tend to show defensive characteristics, often being less volatile during economic downturns due to stable demand for medical services (Gupta &amp; Modise, 2013). Apollo Hospitals, as a leading healthcare provider in India, is frequently cited as a benchmark firm in sectoral studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Recent empirical research suggests that large healthcare firms in India exhibit moderate to high market sensitivity, reflecting both market-wide effects and firm-specific growth factors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b><span style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;line-height: 107%\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">DATA ANALYSIS:<\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>\u2022 Regression Equation:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><!-- [if gte msEquation 12]&gt;--><i><span style='font-family:\"Cambria Math\",serif'>y=0.1292+1.0219x<\/span><\/i><!-- [if !msEquation]--><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif\"><!-- [if gte vml 1]&gt;--><\/p>\n<p><!-- [if !vml]--><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"image\/png;base64,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\" width=\"141\" height=\"18\" \/><\/span><br \/><!--[endif]--><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>\u2022 Where:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0cm\" type=\"disc\">\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>y<\/b> = Weekly Return of the stock<\/li>\n<li class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>x<\/b> = Weekly Return of NIFTY<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>\u2022 Interpretation of Regression Coefficient (\u03b2):<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The slope coefficient (\u03b2 = 1.0219) indicates a strong positive relationship between NIFTY weekly returns and the stock\u2019s weekly returns.<br \/>This means that for every 1% increase in NIFTY returns, the stock\u2019s weekly return increases by approximately 1.02%, on average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>\u2022 Number of Observations:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>48<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>\u2022 t-statistic for \u03b2:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>t = 5.2599<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif\">This high t-value indicates that the coefficient is far from zero relative to its standard error<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>\u2022 p-value:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>p = 3.66 \u00d7 10\u207b\u2076<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt;line-height: 107%;font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif\"> <span style=\"font-size: 11pt;line-height: 107%\">Since p-value &lt;
