ABSTRACT
An investment analysis is essential for the benefit of risk reduction and maximizes the
gain. The investment analysis on stock market has two main approaches namely technical
analysis and fundamental analysis. This study is focused on fundamental analysis of
pharmaceutical companies listed in National Stock Exchange (NSE), which include selected
five companies for a period of five years from 2011 to 2015. The fundamental analysis
consists of three parts such as economic analysis, industry analysis and company analysis.
The economic analysis consists of economic indicators which influence the security market
like GDP, inflation, interest rate, foreign reserves, export and agricultural production for the
study period. An industry analysis includes industrial compound annual growth rate, sales,
revenue and global market share etc. For company analysis, various performance ratios such
as EPS, DPS, Net profit Margin, Debt to equity ratio etc., are used. Industry analysis shows
that the Indian pharmaceutical industry has high growth rate and company analysis revealed
that Lupin and Torrent pharma are financially viable during the study period.
Key words: Fundamental analysis, Indian Pharmaceutical Industry, GDP, Economic

1. INTRODUCTION
Fundamental analysis is a tool which is used to determine a security’s value by focusing on essential
factors that affect a company's actual business. An investor can use the fundamental analysis on
industries or the economy as a whole. The primary goal of fundamental analysis is to describe the
nature of an economy, industry and company that an investor can compare with the securities, with the
aim of figuring out what sort of position to take with that security in the future.
2. METHODS IN FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Fundamental analysis is known as “researching the fundamentals/foundation”, but it does not reveal the
whole unless the analyst can know what fundamentals are. The various fundamentals can be grouped

into two categories like (i) Quantitative Factors - growth rate, revenue, debt and market capitalization
and (ii) Qualitative Factors - corporate governance, financial and information transparency,
stakeholder’s rights and structure of the board of directors.
3. APPROACHES OF FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS:
Fundamental analysis can be visualized by means of two approaches.
Top down Approach, Bottom up approach
3.1. Top down approach:
In top-down approach, the investors begin with the economic analysis by considering important factors
namely interest rates, inflation and then industry factors like growth rate and market share. If the first
two analyses are satisfied, the investor moves on to individual company analysis.
3.2. Bottom up approach:
In bottom-up approach, the investors focus directly on a company's basics or fundamentals. Analysis of
the company's products, its competitive position, and its financial status leads to an estimate of the
company's value in the market.
4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Literature review is a study involving a collection of literature in the selected area of research in which
the researcher has limited experience, and critical examination and comparison of them to have a better
understanding. It also helps the researchers to update the past data, data sources and results and identify
the gaps.
 Mark P. Bauman (1996) conducted a study named, “A Review of Fundamental Analysis
Research in Accounting”. This paper has outlined the development of different accounting
valuation model and reviewed related empirical work.
 Nikolaos Pavlou, George Blanas Department of Business Administration, TEI of Larissa, GR
Pavlos Golemis P&K Financial Services, S.A., Larissa Branch, GR (2006) conducted on “The
Application of Fundamental Analysis and Technical Analysis in the Athens Derivatives
Exchange (ADEX)”.
 Prakash Tiwari & Hemraj Verma (2009) conducted a study on “A Fundamental Analysis of
Public sector Banks in India”. This article explains the position of the banks with reference to
various ratios.
 Sugandharaj Kulkarni H.N.College of Commerce, Management Wing (2011) conducted on
“A study on fundamental analysis of ONGC”. The analysis of a company's fundamentals
involves getting deep into its financials, rather than day-to-day movement in its share price.
 R. Amsaveni and S. Gomath (2013) conducted on “Fundamental Analysis of Selected FMCG
Companies in India”. This study aims to analyze the fundamental analysis of BSE listed
FMCG companies in India.
5. SCOPE OF THE STUDY

companies listed in NSE”. This study provides a precise presentation of data and guidelines to
individual investors as well as venture investors, portfolio managers to know broad aspects of
investment. This study is established to gain the knowledge about the economic factors such as GDP,
Inflation, Exchange rate & Interest rates, etc., and industry analysis like industrial growth rate, sales,
revenue, etc., and company analysis through its profit, debt, etc., by using descriptive statistics, ratio
analysis. This study has focused on the five pharmaceutical companies listed in NSE based on its
Market capitalization, sales, Net profit, Total assets and Debt.
6. NEED OF THE STUDY
Stock markets are the place to trade stock and securities; it operates as facilitator between investors and
borrowers of capital by means of pooling of funds, sharing business risk and transferring their wealth.

Prices of the shares are changing in stock markets on a daily basis. These changes in share price may
associate with the changes in the underlying economic factors, industry performance and company’s
growth. Indian pharmaceutical industry is third largest producer in the world and is also one of the
most developed industries. India has nearly 24,000 pharmaceutical companies and expected to expand
at a CAGR of 15.92 per cent to US$ 55 billion by 2020. Hence large numbers of foreign Investors are
coming and investing in Indian Pharmaceutical sector due to its high potential growth in future.
Hence, the researcher selected this topic to make investments especially in pharmaceutical industry
based on the fundamental analysis.

11. TOOLS USED FOR ANALYSIS
11.1. Descriptive statistics:
Descriptive statistics are used to describe the collected data in a study. They provide simple summaries
about the collected data and measures. Together with tables, they form basis of virtually every
quantitative analysis of data. These tables are including calculation date such as Compound Annual
Growth Rate (CAGR), skewness and Kurtosis to make conclusions.
11.2. Ratio analysis:
The ratios are being calculated by the aid of raw data available on the concerned financial statement of
the firm. The raw data encompasses yearly results and balance sheet of the selected companies. After
calculation of ratios, analysis of individual ratio is being examined. The ratios being calculated for the
purpose of analysis of financial performance are:
Earnings Per Share (EPS), Dividend Per Share, Return on capital employed, Net profit Margin,
Return on Equity(ROE) , Debt to Equity ratio , Inventory turnover ratio
11.3. Economic analysis:
Economic analysis is the process whereby the favourable and unfavourable factors of an economy are
analyzed through economic indicators. Economic indicators are vital tools in order to understand the
exact condition of an economy. The table 1 represents the economic indicators of our country, which
are useful to investors to make decision on their investment. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of
country is the main economic indicator to know about trend of the economy. The highest growth of
gross domestic product rate is one of the favourable factors to the stock market. The highest rate of
GDP was 8.3 percent on the year 2010-2011 and after the some depression in Indian economy, which
drops upto 5.1 percent. Gross domestic product rate for last three years (2012-2015) were in positive
trend, which indicates Indian economy travels in the right way. Another one main economic indicator
is Inflation, which must be decreased to boost the economy. The below table shows the rate of inflation
from year 2010-2015 and moved in the decreasing trend and achieved the CAGR at -10.05 percent.

The lowest inflation rate helps to reduce the spending by investors. There are more benefits
through low inflation, commonly if inflation is low and stable the firms will be more confident and
optimistic to invest, this can lead to an expansion and supports higher rates of economic growth in the
future. The table 1 shows the stable interest rate on the years of 2010-2015 by the range between 8.75-
9.25 %. By reducing interest rates, this can help to minimize the spending on firm’s business
expansion, which also helps the long-term performance on economy.
An export plays an important role in the country’s economy and develops the level of economic
growth, employment and the balance of payments. Export instability may affect the economic growth
both positively and negatively. Increase in exports earnings introduces gains in the economy. An Indian
export grows at compound annual growth rate of 4.38% and also increase in exchange rate can boost
the revenue through exports, which influence in the compound annual growth rate of 6.94%.
India is mainly an agricultural country, which contributes about sixteen percent (16%) of total
GDP and ten percent (10%) of total exports. A proportion of India’s export trade is based on the
agricultural products, such as jute, tea, tobacco, coffee, spices, and sugar. It helps in increasing the
foreign exchange and Even though, with the growth of other sectors, the overall share of agriculture on
GDP of the country has decreased. Still, Agriculture continuously plays a dominant part in the overall
Indian economic scenario and table 1 indicates the agriculture production is growing at the lowest
compound annual growth rate of 0.49%.
The health of the economy of any country can be measured by growth of stock market. The table 1
shows the compound annual growth rate on foreign investments inflows at 11.59 %, which indicates
the confident on Indian stock market. The higher foreign investment inflow came in the year of 2014-
2015 about 73561 USD in million and same time foreign reserves also increased at 1.59% of
Compound annual growth rate.
