PREFACE

Investment is the employment of funds with the aim of achieving additional income or
growth in value. The essential quality of an investment is that it involves “waiting” for a
reward. It involves the commitment of resources, which have been saved or put away
from current consumption in the hope that some benefits will accrue in future.

What investment needs? It needs proper allocation. Without proper allocation of investor,
an investor cannot receive good returns and yield from the investment. Investment in
capital market is one of the best options for investment.
If the investor is looking for high return then he should be willing to take high risk,
because more the risk the more be the return.

In the current era every investor (Financial Institution, Retail Investor & FII.)who wants
to park their money in share market must do Analysis to mitigate the volatility/ risk
factor.

The objective of my project is to analyze the fundamental and analysis of three


companies :

ICICI BANK

HDFC BANK

STATE BANK OF INDIA

The research reports are generally accessible to the firm Finance Department, Mutual
Fund Division which help them to built a sound portfolio.

Fundamental Analysis
Fundamental Analysis of a business involves analyzing its income statement, financial
statements and health, its management and competitive advantages, and its competitors
and markets.

The analysis is performed on historical and present data, but with the goal to make
financial projections. There are several possible objectives:

 to conduct a company stock valuation and predict its probable price evolution,
 to make projection on its business performance,
 to evaluate its management and make internal business decisions,
 to calculate a its credit risk.

The essence of such an analysis is to project a firm’s sales in future years. For projecting
the future of the firm, a sound understanding of the environment in which the firm is
operating is a prerequisite. A typical analysis of a firm’s environment has three steps:

1. Macroeconomic Environment Analysis : Initially the firms macroeconomic


environment is analyzed to project the future employment, inflation, income
regulation, taxes, etc. The macro analysis is done not only for the home country
but also for foreign countries, which affect the firm’s operations.

2. Industry Analysis : once the analysis of macro economuc factors is completed,


the analyst should move on to the analysis of the industry to which the firm
belongs. The effects of a macroeconomic aspects. For instance, certain industries
like food, healthcare, etc., are less affected by the changes in macroeconomic
conditions compared to industries like aircraft, planes, etc.

9
3. Company Analysis : Only after a thorough knowledge of both macro
environment and industry analysis can the analyst proceed to the firm’s forecast.
For instance, if the economy is predicted to grow and consumer demand is
expected to shift from low-cost products to luxury products and the firm being
analyzed is regarded for differentiated goods, then it will witness an increased
demand for its products with a shift in customer demand.

Procedures

The analysis of a business' health starts with financial statement analysis that includes
ratios. It looks at dividends paid, operating cash flow, new equity issues and capital
financing. The earnings estimates and growth rate projections published widely by
Thomson Financial and others can be considered either 'fundamental' (they are facts) or
'technical' (they are investor sentiment) based on your perception of their validity.

The determined growth rates (of income and cash) and risk levels (to determine the
discount rate) are used in various valuation models. The foremost is the discounted cash
flow model, which calculates the present value of the future

 Dividends received by the investor, along with the eventual sale price. (Gordon
model)
 Earnings of the company, or
 Cash flows of the company.

The simple model commonly used is the Price/Earnings ratio. Implicit in this model of a
perpetual annuity (Time value of money) is that the 'flip' of the P/E is the discount rate
appropriate to the risk of the business. The multiple accepted is adjusted for expected
growth (that is not built into the model).

10
Growth estimates are incorporated into the P/E ratio but the math does not hold up to
analysis.[neutrality disputed] Its validity depends on the length of time you think the growth will
continue.

Computer modeling of stock prices has now replaced much of the subjective
interpretation of fundamental data (along with technical data) in the industry. Since about
year 2000, with the power of computers to crunch vast quantities of data, a new career
has been invented. At some funds the manager's decisions have been replaced by
proprietary mathematical models.

LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

 Generally company does not allow outsiders to conduct any study or research work
in company. Therefore, get the project done in company itself was very difficult.

 Due to confidentiality some important information, which are important for the
project, could not be collected.

 Some of the information is lack of accuracy, due to which approximately values


were used for the analysis. Hence, the results also reveal approximate values.

 The project is based on theoretical guidelines and as per situations prevalent at the
time of practical training. Hence, it may not be apply to different situations.

 The time span for the project was very short which was of 2 months, which itself
acts as a major constraint. Moreover, studying the guidelines and applied it
practically within such short time span was a task of great pressure.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

INDIAN BANKING SYSTEM

Without a sound and effective banking system in India it cannot have a healthy
economy. The banking system of India should not only be hassle free but it should be
able to meet new challenges posed by the technology and any other external and internal
factors. For the past three decades India's banking system has several outstanding
achievements to its credit. The most striking is its extensive reach. It is no longer
confined to only metropolitans or cosmopolitans in India. In fact, Indian banking system
has reached even to the remote corners of the country. This is one of the main reasons of
India's growth process. The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has
paid rich dividends with the nationalization of 14 major private banks of India.
Not long ago, an account holder had to wait for hours at the bank counters for
getting a draft or for withdrawing his own money. Today, he has a choice. Gone are days
when the most efficient bank transferred money from one branch to other in two days.
Now it is simple as instant messaging or dial a pizza. Money has become the order of the
day.
The first bank in India, though conservative, was established in 1786. From 1786
till today, the journey of Indian Banking System can be segregated into three distinct
phases. They are as mentioned below:
 Early phase from 1786 to 1969 of Indian Banks
 Nationalization of Indian Banks and up to 1991 prior to Indian banking sector
Reforms.

25
 New phase of Indian Banking System with the advent of Indian
Financial & Banking Sector Reforms after 1991.

After 1991, under the chairmanship of M Narasimham, a committee was set up by


his name which worked for the liberalization of banking practices. The country is flooded
with foreign banks and their ATM stations. Efforts are being put to give a satisfactory
service to customers. Phone banking and net banking is introduced. The entire system
became more convenient and swift. Time is given more importance than money. This
resulted that Indian banking is growing at an astonishing rate, with Assets expected to
reach US$1 trillion by 2010.

“The banking industry should focus on having a small number of large players
that can compete globally and can achieve expected goals rather than having a large
number of fragmented players."

26
BANKING SECTOR IN INDIA
Introduction
The liberalization brought in 1991 has swept the economic landscape of the
country. The automobile industry is one of the invisible faces of liberalization .For the
people who were used to many years of Ambassador cars with various models not
different in anyway except a few changes in every model, the arrival of Maruti heralded
the beginning of a new experience in automobile comfort. It was the same with Bajaj
Chetak. Its obnoxious horn and the tilt and start symbolized the deplorable technology to
which an Indian consumer was treated. We are thus living in the era of change.

Banking sector is no different. The changes in banking in the last decade are
unparalleled when compared to the entire period of banking history in India. Profitability,
which remained a taboo for bankers for years since independence, has become a
buzzword today. Our banks modeled on British banks, which erected awesome building
to scare the public in the garb of being a sentinel of public money, today go for boutique
banking to be as close to public as possible. Thus, competition fuelled by technology
drives banking today.

It is becoming increasingly clear that ' Technology ' alone can make
bankers sail through the competition. Computerization of branches, introduction of cash
management products, remote access login for corporates, Banking Company is defined
as “a company, which transacts the business of banking in India. The Banking
Regulation Act defines the business of banking by stating the essential functions of a
banker .It also states the various other businesses a banking company may be engaged in
and prohibits certain businesses to be performed by it.”mobile banking, Internet banking

27
and ATM banking are a few ways by which bankers use technology today to beat the
competition.

Current scenario

Currently, overall, banking in India is considered as fairly mature in terms


of supply, product range and reach-even though reach in rural India still remains a
challenge for the private sector and foreign banks. Even in terms of quality of assets and
capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to have clean, strong and transparent
balance sheets-as compared to other banks in comparable economies in its region. The
Reserve Bank of India is an autonomous body, with minimal pressure from the
government. The stated policy of the Bank on the Indian Rupee is to manage volatility-
without any stated exchange rate-and this has mostly been true. With the growth in the
Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-especially in its services
sector, the demand for banking services-especially retail banking, mortgages and
investment services are expected to be strong. M&As, takeovers, asset sales and much
more action (as it is unraveling in China) will happen on this front in India.

In March 2006, the Reserve Bank of India allowed Warburg Pincus to increase its
stake in Kotak Mahindra Bank (a private sector bank) to 10%. This is the first time an
investor has been allowed to hold more than 5% in a private sector bank since the RBI
announced norms in 2005 that any stake exceeding 5% in the private sector banks would
need to be vetted by them. Currently, India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) -
28 public sector banks (that is with
the Government of India holding a stake), 29 private banks (these do not have
government stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31
foreign banks.

28
BANKING SERVICES IN INDIA
They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000 ATMs.
According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector banks hold
over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private and foreign banks
holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF INDIAN BANKING SECTOR


STRENGTH
 Policy makers have made some notable changes in policy and regulation to help
strengthen the sector. These changes include strengthening prudential norms,
enhancing the payments system and integrating regulations between commercial
and co-operative banks.

 Bank lending has been a significant driver of GDP growth and employment.

 Extensive reach: the vast networking & growing number of branches & ATMs.
Indian banking system has reached even to the remote corners of the country.

 The government's regular policy for Indian bank since 1969 has paid rich
dividends with the nationalisation of 14 major private banks of India.

 In terms of quality of assets and capital adequacy, Indian banks are considered to
have clean, strong and transparent balance sheets relative to other banks in
comparable economies in its region.

 India has 88 scheduled commercial banks (SCBs) - 27 public sector banks (that is
with the Government of India holding a stake)after merger of New Bank of India
in Punjab National Bank in 1993, 29 private banks (these do not have government
stake; they may be publicly listed and traded on stock exchanges) and 31 foreign
banks. They have a combined network of over 53,000 branches and 17,000
ATMs. According to a report by ICRA Limited, a rating agency, the public sector
banks hold over 75 percent of total assets of the banking industry, with the private
and foreign banks holding 18.2% and 6.5% respectively.

29
 Foreign banks will have the opportunity to own up to 74 per cent of Indian private
sector banks and 20 per cent of government owned banks.

WEAKNESS
 PSBs need to fundamentally strengthen institutional skill levels especially in sales
and marketing, service operations, risk management and the overall organisational
performance ethic & strengthen human capital.
 Old private sector banks also have the need to fundamentally strengthen skill
levels.
 The cost of intermediation remains high and bank penetration is limited to only a
few customer segments and geographies.
 Structural weaknesses such as a fragmented industry structure, restrictions on
capital availability and deployment, lack of institutional support infrastructure,
restrictive labour laws, weak corporate governance and ineffective regulations
beyond Scheduled Commercial Banks (SCBs), unless industry utilities and
service bureaus.
 Refusal to dilute stake in PSU banks: The government has refused to dilute its
stake in PSU banks below 51% thus choking the headroom available to these
banks for raining equity capital.
 Obstructions in sectoral reforms: Opposition from Left and resultant cautious
approach from the North Block in terms of approving merger of PSU banks may
hamper their growth prospects in the medium term.

OPPORTUNITY

30
 The market is seeing discontinuous growth driven by new products and services
that include opportunities in credit cards, consumer finance and wealth
management on the retail side, and in fee-based income and investment banking
on the wholesale banking side. These require new skills in sales & marketing,
credit and operations.

 \banks will no longer enjoy windfall treasury gains that the decade-long secular
decline in interest rates provided. This will expose the weaker banks.

 With increased interest in India, competition from foreign banks will only
intensify.
 Given the demographic shifts resulting from changes in age profile and household
income, consumers will increasingly demand enhanced institutional capabilities
and service levels from banks.
 New private banks could reach the next level of their growth in the Indian
banking sector by continuing to innovate and develop differentiated business
models to profitably serve segments like the rural/low income and affluent/HNI
segments; actively adopting acquisitions as a means to grow and reaching the next
level of performance in their service platforms. Attracting, developing and
retaining more leadership capacity
 Foreign banks committed to making a play in India will need to adopt alternative
approaches to win the “race for the customer” and build a value-creating customer
franchise in advance of regulations potentially opening up post 2009. At the same
time, they should stay in the game for potential acquisition opportunities as and
when they appear in the near term. Maintaining a fundamentally long-term value-
creation mindset.
 reach in rural India for the private sector and foreign banks.
 With the growth in the Indian economy expected to be strong for quite some time-
especially in its services sector-the demand for banking services, especially retail
banking, mortgages and investment services are expected to be strong.

 the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has approved a proposal from the government to
amend the Banking Regulation Act to permit banks to trade in commodities and
commodity derivatives.
 Liberalization of ECB norms: The government also liberalized the ECB norms
to permit financial sector entities engaged in infrastructure funding to raise ECBs.
This enabled banks and financial institutions, which were earlier not permitted to
raise such funds, explore this route for raising cheaper funds in the overseas
markets.

 Hybrid capital: In an attempt to relieve banks of their capital crunch, the RBI has
allowed them to raise perpetual bonds and other hybrid capital securities to shore
up their capital. If the new instruments find takers, it would help PSU banks, left
with little headroom for raising equity. Significantly, FII and NRI investment
limits in these securities have been fixed at 49%, compared to 20% foreign equity
holding allowed in PSU banks.

THREATS

 Threat of stability of the system: failure of some weak banks has often threatened
the stability of the system.
 Rise in inflation figures which would lead to increase in interest rates.
 Increase in the number of foreign players would pose a threat to the PSB as well
as the private players.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

In assessing the significance of various financial data, managers often use ratio analysis,
the process of determining and evaluating financial ratios.
A financial ratio indicates a relationship between a company's activities. For example, the
ratio between the company's current assets and current liabilities or between its accounts
receivable and its annual sales. The basic source for these ratios is the company's
financial statements that contain figures on assets, liabilities, profits, and losses. Ratios
are only meaningful when compared with other information. Since they are often
compared with industry data, ratios help managers understand their company's
performance relative to that of competitors and are often used to trace performance over
time. Ratio analysis can reveal much about a company and its operations. However, there
are several points to keep in mind about ratios. First, a ratio is just one number divided by
another. Financial ratios are only "flags" indicating areas of strength or weakness. One or
even several ratios might be misleading, but when combined with other knowledge of a
company's management and economic circumstances, ratio analysis can tell much about a
corporation.

Types of Ratios

There are many different ratios and models used today to analyze companies.
Financial ratio has been classified in several ways which are as below:

34
Types of Ratios:
1) Liquidity Ratio.
2) Leverage Ratio.
3) Profitability Ratio.
4) Investibility Ratio.
Liquidity: - Liquidity ratios help analyze a company's ability to meet short-term financial
obligations.

Example Ratios Formula Measures


Current Ratio total current assets Ability to pay current debts
total current
liabilities
Quick ratio/Acid- total current assets Ability to convert current assets to cash for the purpose of
test ratio minus inventory meeting current liabilities. Called the acid-test -- is a
total current crucial test of the firm's liquidity
liabilities

Profitability: - Profitability ratios help analyzes management's ability to control


expenses and earn profits through the use of company's resources.

Example Ratios Formula Measures

Net profit margin net profit Measures percentage of each sales dollar remaining after all
net sales expenses

Operating Profit Operating profit Rate of return that owners receive on their investment.
Margin Net sales

Return on Net Worth net profits Overall effectiveness to generate profits from total investment
total capital in assets.

Gross Profit Margin sales – costs of goods Profitability of a company's sales after the cost of sales has
sold been deducted.

35

Leverage Ratios

Leverage Ratios help analyze the degree and effect of a company's use of borrowed funds
(debt) to finance its operations.

Example Ratios Formula Measures

Debt to equity total debt The portion of the funds obtained by the companies
ratio that came from debt vs. stockholders investments.
total stockholder's
equity

Investibility Ratios:

Investibility Ratio helps the investors to know the investibility of a company.

Example Ratios Formula Measures

INTERPRETATION:
Various profitability ratios which are shown in the table above are being charted on the
graph.

37
From the graph, it can be determined that during the three years from 2007 to 2009 as the
operating income of the company has risen from Rs. 13.33millions in 2007 to 14.13
millions in 2009, company has also witnessed a continuous rise in the profit during these
years.

It can be clearly examined that Gross Profit margin has risen from 11.41% in 2007 to
12.99% and 12.36% in 2008 and 2009 respectively.

But in the case of net profit margin has fallen down from 10.81% in 2007 to 10.51% &
9.74% in 2008 & 2009 respectively.
Declining Return on Net worth (RONW) every year indicates that the company employs
more capital every year to generate a rupee of sales.

ratio tells us that in year 2007 the creditors were providing Rs. 9.5 of financing being
provided by shareholders. As compared to this in year 2009 the creditors were providing
Rs. 4.42 of financing being provided by shareholders. As the debt/equity ratio in 2009 is
lower than in year 2007 the owners are putting in relatively more money of their own.

from Rs.34.59 in year 2007 to Rs33.78 in 2009. It shows that the profit available to
equity shareholders on a per share basis has been declining.

Dividend Payout Ratio has been increasing from Rs 33.89 to 36.6. It shows that
company has increasing customers value by providing satisfactory return.

Earning Retention Ratio has come down to 63.23 level which shows that earning is not
retained more with bank in the year 2009 compare to the year 2007.

ICICI BANK LTD


Non Quantitative Measures
Establishment:

ICICI Limited was formed in 1955 when the World Bank, the Government of India and
other representatives of Indian industry came together to create a initiative that funds
medium-term and long-term project financing for Indian businesses. Starting from 1990,
the company slowly transformed itself from a development financial institution financing
only projects to a company that provides a wider range of financial services and financial
products directly and also through affiliates like ICICI Bank, which was first promoted in

41
1994 and was owned completely by ICICI Limited. This stake was reduced to around
46% when an initial public offering was made in the fiscal 1998.

The move to merge ICICI limited with ICICI Bank seemed like the most strategically
viable step going forward creating the best possible legal bandwidth which was in sync
with the ICIC group’s universal banking strategy. The merger also offered various
advantages for the shareholders involved and would help the group foray into new
business segments, tap into the strong corporate relationships that had been established,
access to an excellent resource pool etc. In October 2001, ICICI Personal Financial
Services and ICICI Capital Services wholly owned by ICICI Limited was allowed to be
merged with ICICI Bank, which was formally approved by the RBI in April 2002.

Since the merger ICICI group’s financing and banking operations, both wholesale and
retail, have been integrated in a single entity.

Overview

ICICI Bank is one of the most popular banks in recent times with its presence felt through
a huge network of 1,495 branches and 4,816 ATMs across the country, with profits
running into 8.8 billions in the quarter ended June 2009. The bank also has a presence in
around 18 countries across the globe. They offer a wide gamut of retail products to its
retail customers and as well as other banking products related to the corporate segment.
These include ICICI personal loans, ICICI home loans, ICICI car loans, ICICI credit
cards, ICICI LAP etc. They also offer financial services that span asset management,
venture capital, investment banking, life and non-life insurance. ICICI equity shares finds
a place in the Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange in India with its
American depositary receipts listed in the New York Stock Exchange.

INTERPRETATION:

Various profitability ratios which are shown in the table above are being charted on the
graph.
From the graph, it can be determined that during the three years from 2007 to 2009
although the operating income of the company has fallen from Rs.33.15 millions in 2007
to 19.87 millions in 2009, company has witnessed a continuous decrease in the profit
during these years.
It can be clearly examined that Gross Profit margin has gone down from 30.5% in 2007
to 28.58% and 18.05% in 2008 and 2009 respectively.
Similar is the case with Operating Profit and Net Profit Margin which have been showing
continuous fall over the last three years. By considering both gross profit margin and net
profit margin jointly, we are able to gain considerable insight into the operations of the
firm. As all the ratios are falling over the three periods, we know that the cost of
operations relative to sales has been decreasing.
Decreasing Return on Net worth (RONW) every year indicates that the company employs
more capital every year to generate a rupee of sales.

STATE BANK OF INDIA


Non Quantative Measure
Establishment:

The mammoth history behind SBI

How did State Bank of India start?

SBI originated when Bank of Calcutta came into existence on 2 June 1806, which was
given a new name as Bank of Bengal three years later. The unique factor about SBI is the
fact that it was the first joint-stock bank of British India, first sponsored by the Bengal
government. Following the establishment of Bank of Bengal more such banks on the
same lines was set up, namely Bank of Bombay in April 1840 and Bank of Madras in
July 1843. A makeover took place several years later during January 1921, when the
three banks merged to form the Imperial Bank of India.

The Imperial Bank

59
In 1921 about 70 odd branches of all the three presidency Banks of Bengal, Bombay and
Madras merged into a single entity to become the Imperial Bank of India. This bank
played three crucial roles - that of a commercial bank, a banker’s bank as well as a banker
to the government.

SBI is born finally!

A need for a “State Bank of India” was mulled over in the years leading to this
development. The Imperial bank was then combining the functions of both a commercial
bank and a quasi-central bank. This scenario changed when the Reserve Bank of India
was set up in 1935 at which point the Imperial bank ceased to be the bankers to the Indian
Government and became an agent of the RBI for government transactions instead.

The first five year plan ushers in State Bank of India

The First five year plan launched in 1951 had as one of its primary goals the development
of rural India. It is important to note that the Imperial Bank of India had until that point in
time concentrated only on the urban sectors neglecting the rural segments.

Upon the recommendation of the All India Rural Credit Survey committee regarding the
need for a state partnered and sponsored bank a formal act was passed in the parliament
in May 1955. According to this act, the Imperial Bank of India was to integrate with it
state owned and state associate banks.

Thus the State Bank of India came into existence in July 1955. Around 25% of the
country’s banking resources came under the direct control of the State. In the years to
come, the State Bank of India (Subsidiary Banks) Act was passed in 1959, enabling the
State Bank of India to take over eight former State-associated banks as its subsidiaries.

After this development the SBI helped in its new avatar by its 480 offices across the
country evolved into the current modern banking system that is in sync with the
economic development taking place.

Interpretation:

comparatively better position with higher return on net worth, gross as well as net profit
margin. Moreover, the operating profit of SBI is also very higher. As ICICI BANK’S
gross and net profit margin is lower this shows that the company is incurring more cost
on administrative & sales expenses than its competitors. ICICI’S profit margins have
been under pressure on account of R&D and personnel costs.

Balance Sheet.

FINDINGS & RECOMMENDATIONS

 When we consider Gross and Net Profit Margin as a comparative decision


criterion then a systematic study of all costs and revenue has to be done on a
regular basis to arrive at a conclusion. From the comparative statement it appears
that ICICI Bank’s Gross and Net Profit Margin is lower because it is incurring
more costs than its competitors. If this is the case then ICICI bank need to find out
the reasons involved.

 State Bank of India is trying to score the maximum on its goodwill created over a
period of time. They are trying to borrow more and more funds to maximize their
profits. When bank borrows funds the cost of capital is less and when it lends
funds the cost of capital is generally relatively higher. And as the Indian Economy

69
is growing more and more funds are needed, the Management of SBI is trying to
get advantage of this situation. The other banks appear to fail or lacking in respect
to SBI. The other banks need to find out what are the exact reasons.

 ICICI BANK’S debt/ equity ratio is low as compared to the debt/ equity ratio of
HDFC BANK and SBI BANK. This shows that the latter two companies have
financed their business by taking debt from creditors. This increases the regular
interest payment burden on the companies. So the companies should go more for
equity financing than the debt financing of their projects.

 As per comparative statement, State Bank Of India earnings per share is higher as
compared to ICICI BANK and HDFC BANK. This shows that the shareholders of
State Bank Of India can get higher amount on every share held by them than the
shareholders of other two firms. This in turn means that the shareholders of State
Bank Of India may feel more happier than the shareholders of other two firms.
The reason for higher E.P.S is company profit has increased six times.
