Kaynes Technology Share Price: Reading Q1 FY27 Results And Growth Pulse

If you are new to stock trading, you may be wondering what the P/E ratio is. And why it is considered while purchasing stocks. This blog is intended to give you a brief understanding of the P/E ratio.

As a stock market trading investor, you always want to buy undervalued or low P/E ratio stocks.

Trying to understand the reason behind this concept will be helpful to get an idea of what the P/E ratio is and how it works.

As defined, the "Price to Earnings Ratio" or P/E ratio is a valuation indicator that measures the number of money investors pay for each dollar of a corporation's earnings.

It is calculated by dividing the current market price by its earnings per share (EPS).

The P/E ratio can also be stated as "how much an investor pays for one Rupee of earnings".

It gives valuation multiple times higher or lower than the market average. The lower the number, the better the bargain.

So why should you prefer low P/E ratio stocks? To answer this question, we need first to understand how it works.

How does the P/E ratio work?

Low P/E ratio stocks can be considered as blue-chip companies. These are the companies considered to be leaders in their respective fields. They are well established, have a long history and reputation, and have a loyal customer base.

So why should you prefer low P/E ratio stocks?

To answer this question, we need first to understand how it works.

P/E = Price/Earnings Ratio

The P/E ratio is the most commonly used metric for valuing stocks. It's calculated by dividing the market price per share by earnings per share (EPS).

The lower the P/E ratio, the better it is for investors because it means you get more earnings per Rupee spent.

For example, if a company has a P/E ratio of 10, it means you have paid Rs 10 to buy Rs 1 worth of profits (earnings).

Whereas if a company has a P/E ratio of 20, you will have to pay Rs 20 to buy Rs 1 worth of profit. 20 is higher than 10, and hence the former company offers lower value.

Low P/E Stocks = Low-Risk Investment

Now that we know how the P/E ratio works, let's quickly jump into the factors to invest in Low P/E stocks.

Consideration Factors to Buy Low P/E Ratio Stocks

A low P/E ratio could well be a valuation call; it could be a call on the quality of the business.

It is essential to know the reasons for a low P/E ratio before investing in such companies.

If the company is bad, avoiding such companies would be a smart move.

On the other hand, if it is because the market has doubts regarding the future performance of the company, then you must make an independent analysis based on facts before you decide to avoid them or not.

Another example is of Nifty midcap stocks. If you look at the P/E ratios of the NSE Midcap Index and Nifty Smallcap index, you will find that the NSE Midcap index has consistently traded at a lower P/E ratio than the small caps.

The reason for this is straightforward – it is because investors perceive that midcaps are riskier than small caps.

So, a low P/E ratio can be a warning sign, but the P/E ratio cannot use it in isolation to judge companies.

Before forming an opinion on a company, you need to look at other factors like return on equity, interest coverage ratio, debt levels and more.

(Read more about - Factors to be Considered While Choosing Ideal Stocks )

If not P/E, then what should one look at?

There are things you can look at. You can look at the return on equity, which measures profitability. You can look at book value, which measures assets relative to debt.

You can look at the profit margin, which is how much profit you're making relative to sales. And you can look at growth rates.

Some companies have very high P/E's and are also doing extremely well in profitability, asset turnover, and financial risk.

Those things tend to be overlooked as people focus on the P/E ratio alone.

The best way to figure out what's going on with a company is to go through that exercise of looking at all the different factors and then coming up with an overall assessment.

Now, we don't want to say there's no place for the P/E ratio because it tells you something about how expensive stocks are in general.

Still, it doesn't tell you anything about whether a company is cheap or expensive relative to its history or its competitors or its growth rate or its prospects."

‍Conclusion

Wrapping up, we conclude that you should consider P/E with the combination of factors before buying a Stock, like Return on equity, Asset relative to debt, profit margin etc.

Why does NTPC Need a Renewable Unit Investor for IPO?

The country's largest power generator, NTPC, is seeking a partner to help it plan the initial public offering (IPO) of its renewable energy subsidiary National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).

According to officials aware of the developments. It will start looking for a partner from April 2022, which would help increase the value of its IPO. Although other SME-IPOs are lined up in 2022, the spark of issuing NTPC’s IPO is different from other IPOs.

The reason could be the popularity of NTPC as it is counted as India’s dominant power major with a presence in the entire value chain of power generating business.

If we look into the stock market research, India is the third-largest country that emits greenhouse gases (GHG) globally.

That affects its climate and threatens to reverse the development gains made in recent years. NTPC Seeks renewable units to produce 40 per cent of its total power from non-fossil fuels by 2030.

NREL has doubled its target for clean power generation to 60 gigawatts by 2032.

Experts recommend that NREL bear significant equity money to meet the target, and bringing investors on board would be beneficial.

AIM of NTPC

NTPC is India's most significant power utility with an introduced limit of 67,907.5 MW. It plans to turn into a 130 GW company by 2032. NTPC was established in 1975. NTPC aims to be the world's biggest and best power major.

NTPC has exhaustive Rehabilitation and Resettlement and CSR arrangements incorporated with its core business of setting up power projects and generating power.

NTPC focuses on creating dependable power at cutthroat costs in a supportable way by upgrading the utilization of various energy sources with imaginative eco-accommodating advancements.

Subsequently, NTPC adds to the country's monetary improvement and upliftment of the general public.

Upcoming NREL Renewable Power Projects

• This solar power park is the most ambitious renewable energy project. NREL is working on its mega solar power project in Khavda of Gujarat. With the capacity of 5 Gw of solar energy generation.
• NREL is also looking for other technologies, including solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower. It is also interested in exploring ways to generate clean energy from green methanol and green hydrogen.
• As per reports, NREL is looking to pilot a green hydrogen production project at Vindhyachal thermal power plant in Madhya Pradesh.

NTPC Research Report on Renewable Energy Assets

NTPC is very much situated to benefit from the predictable incomes generated by thermal assets and the development of sustainable power.

An AP/BV proportion of 1.5x for warm ventures brings about a valuation of Rs. 133,000 crore (close to current market capitalization) and no incentive for huge renewable energy (RE) growth plans.

Aside from settling ESG issues, NTPC hopes to market >5GW each year to deliver an 11 per cent CAGR in independent directed values.

RE limit focuses of 15GW/60GW by FY24E/FY32E (NTPC won 15% of RE offers in FY21) would make extensive worth.

Frequently Asked Questions about NTPC

The current installed capacity of NTPC?

The company's installed capacity is 67,907.5 MW (which includes JVs) 7 gas-based, own stations include 24 coal-based, 1 Wind 13 Solar, 1 Hydro, and 1 Small hydro plant.

Under the Joint Venture, NTPC has 9 coal-based, 13 renewable energy projects, and 4 gas-based Projects.

Is it reasonable to buy NTPC stock in 2022?

We are happy to say that the Indian stock market is currently trading at a very low price to its intrinsic value. Sooner or later, people will realize the fact that power stocks like NTPC are like annuity income for a long-term investor.

If one buys PNB or Bank of Baroda with a one-year time horizon, the investors will make a lot of money. I would still advise people to hold on to their stocks until the market comes down and then buy some more for the long term.

NTPC, composed in the year 1975, is a large-cap company with a market cap of Rs 117475.11 Crore and is operating in the power sector.

इस बीच, यूरोपीय सेंट्रल बैंक ने 6 महीनो के लिए नियमित मासिक बांड-खरीद को बढ़ावा दिया जिससे कीमती धातुओं में तेज़ी रही। जबकि फेड द्वारा मार्च 2022 मे 0.75 प्रतिशत ब्याज दर बढ़ाने की योजना है। बैंक ऑफ़ इंग्लैंड ने अपनी ब्याज दरों में 0. 25 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि कर दी है।

जबकि बैंक ऑफ़ जापान ने सरल मौद्रिक नीति रखने के साथ आपातकालीन कोवीड -19 फण्ड को घटाने के सन्देश दिए है। केंद्रीय बैंकों के सख्त मौद्रिक नीति के आत्मविश्वाश से कच्चे तेल का रुझान पिछले सप्ताह तेज़ी का रहा और अमेरिका से  बेरोज़गारी दावे के आकड़ो में बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई जिसके कारण सोने और चांदी के भाव को सपोर्ट रहा है।

इस सप्ताह सोने और चांदी के भाव पर बुधवार को अमेरिका से जारी होने वाले कंस्यूमर कॉन्फिडेंस और गुरुवार को कोर पीसीई प्राइस इंडेक्स के आकड़ो का प्रभाव रहेगा।

At last the revenue of the cash management market in India grew from approximately ₹10.0 billion in the Fiscal Year 2010 to approximately ₹27.7 billion in the Fiscal Year 2021, a CAGR of 10.88%

Outlook & Valuation:

Despite consistent growth in revenues, we saw a decline in FY21 which can be attributed to COVID-19. According to the company, the revenue in FY20 was Rs. 1388.29 Crores and fell to Rs 1321.92 crore in FY21.

However, the company has improved its net profit from Rs. 134.7 crore in FY 20 to Rs. 168.52 crore in FY 2021. Also the company has stable financial performance and increasing margins.

In the first place, the risk of market volatility needs to be considered right now on the back of rising cases from the omicron variant.

As the government focuses on digital payments, a further decrease in the use and availability of cash can have an adverse effect on business activities.

The IPO is priced at a PE of 19x to its FY21 EPS of Rs 11.09 and a P/BV of 3.24x on the NAV of Rs 66.52, which is in line with its listed peers. Thus we assign an "Avoid" rating to the IPO.

Investing in stocks is not just about growing your personal wealth; it also plays a crucial role in supporting and enhancing the broader economy. Here’s how investing in stocks contributes to economic growth and development:

1. Capital Formation

When investors buy shares of a company, they provide it with the capital needed to expand its operations, develop new products, or enter new markets. This process of capital formation helps businesses grow and innovate, which can lead to increased productivity and economic growth.

Example:

• Reliance Industries: When investors purchase shares of Reliance, the company can use this capital to invest in its telecom or retail ventures, leading to expansion and job creation.

2. Job Creation

As companies receive investment through the sale of stocks, they often use these funds to hire more employees, expand facilities, or increase production. This directly contributes to job creation and reduces unemployment.

Example:

• Infosys: Investments in Infosys enable the company to grow its operations, which can lead to the creation of thousands of jobs in technology and related sectors.

3. Innovation and Technological Advancements

Investment in stocks allows companies to fund research and development (R&D) activities. This funding supports innovation and technological advancements, which can drive economic growth and improve living standards.

Example:

• Biocon: Investments in Biocon, a biotech company, support its R&D efforts, leading to the development of new medicines and therapies, which can have a positive impact on public health and the economy.

4. Enhancing Market Liquidity

Stock markets provide a platform for buying and selling shares, which enhances market liquidity. Liquidity refers to how easily assets can be bought or sold without affecting their price. High liquidity in the stock market facilitates efficient capital allocation and investment.

Example:

• Nifty 50: The Nifty 50 index includes top-performing companies in India, and its liquidity allows investors to buy or sell shares easily, supporting efficient market operations.

5. Wealth Creation and Consumer Spending

Investing in stocks can lead to wealth creation for individuals. When investors see their investments grow, they may have more disposable income to spend on goods and services, which boosts consumer spending and stimulates economic activity.

Example:

• HDFC Bank: When investors gain returns from HDFC Bank stocks, they might spend more on goods and services, contributing to economic growth.

6. Encouraging Savings and Investment

The potential for capital appreciation and dividends encourages people to invest rather than keep their money in savings accounts. Increased investment in stocks can lead to higher levels of savings, which provides more capital for businesses and contributes to economic stability.

Example:

• SBI Mutual Funds: By investing in SBI Mutual Funds, individuals can grow their savings and contribute to the capital available for business investments.

7. Supporting Government Revenue

Stock markets generate revenue for governments through taxes on capital gains and corporate profits. This revenue can be used for public services, infrastructure projects, and other economic development initiatives.

Example:

• Tax on Dividends: Dividends received from stocks are subject to tax, providing revenue for the government that can be used to fund public services and infrastructure.

8. Building Investor Confidence

A well-functioning stock market attracts both domestic and international investors. Confidence in the stock market can lead to increased investment flows, which support economic stability and growth.

Example:

• Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs): FIIs investing in Indian stocks bring foreign capital into the economy, supporting business growth and economic development.

9. Facilitating Wealth Distribution

Stock markets can help in the distribution of wealth by providing investment opportunities to a wide range of people. This can reduce income inequality and contribute to a more balanced economic growth.

Example:

• Equity Participation: Companies offering Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) allow employees to become shareholders, aligning their interests with company performance and distributing wealth more broadly.

Conclusion

Investing in stocks is integral to the functioning of a healthy economy. It supports capital formation, job creation, innovation, and market liquidity. By encouraging savings and investment, providing government revenue, and building investor confidence, stock markets play a vital role in economic growth and stability. Understanding these contributions helps investors appreciate the broader impact of their financial decisions on the economy.

Today in this blog we will discuss what is Open-high and Open-low Strategies in Intraday Trading.

In India, people often choose to trade in the stock market trading whether it is long term or short term. This is because it allows them to uplift their wealth to an upper level.

As per the new economic survey, it has been found that the participation of the retail sector in the stock market is rising as the number of investors in the stock market has grown up by a whopping 142 Lakh in FY 21. It has also been recorded that new accounts have opened up with 122. 5 Lakh new accounts in CDSL and 19.7 Lakh in NSDL.

If we talk about trading in India, then Intraday trading is something that is considered one of the most challenging yet electrifying forms of share market trading. Also, many traders prefer intraday trading over others because they find it the best way to achieve profit within one trading day.

To book profits within a single day, traders use numerous tools such as charts and patterns to measure stock’s performance and make decisions based on them. In addition, they also grasp some strategies to gauge the performance of their scripts.

Although traders use different strategies to book profit from day trading, open high and open-low strategy is often used by intraday traders. In this blog, we will uncover the pivotal points of intraday trading:

What is Intraday Open-High, Open- Low Strategy:

When any stock or index has the same value, then Open-High Open-low Strategy is the one wherein a buy signal is generated. This indicates that traders buy stocks in large quantities. Contrary to this, a selling signal is generated when the value of a stock or index remains the same for open and high. Here, a selling signal indicates that it's high time traders should sell their stocks.

Intraday trading makes sure that all the positions are squared off before the market closes and hence no changes in the management of shares. This indicates that the money flows throughout the market in the form of shares and when the market closes, the shares are withdrawn.

Open-High, Open-Low Strategy isn’t simple as it seems to be.

The NIFTY 50 Index reflects approximately 10% of the free-float market capitalization of NSE-listed stocks. This will help you choose the best sector to invest in and pull stocks out of the market at the right time.

Features of Open High Low Strategy:

Stock Chart Analysis (Long-Term)

The OHL feature helps traders to analyze the stock charts. With a detailed analysis of the stock charts, traders get an idea of where to buy or sell a stock. Many traders do trading against the trend of a stock. Hence it is recommended that the newbies should avoid trading against a stock’s trend.

To get a detailed insight into stock chart analysis, go for stock market learning.

High-Risk Reward Ratio

In general, the risk/reward ratio of OHL strategies is high and traders use this intraday trading method to set a "stop-loss"; near the strike price. If the stock's opening price is low, traders usually set the stop loss to the low of the opening candle for 15 minutes.

Evaluating Equity Trends Using the Scanner

Traders who choose the Open Hi-Lo strategy can more accurately assess equity trends. This allows you to make investment decisions more efficiently. Traders can put specific stocks on their watchlists and decide when to invest. This allows them to choose the best sector to invest their money in.

How Does Open High Low Strategy Work?

• Log in to your trading account and make sure you have enough funds to execute the transaction.
• Next, you need to navigate the user interface of your app or desktop to create a watchlist of scripts. The watchlist containing the script should be ready by 9:15 am, 15 minutes before the market opens.
• When creating a watchlist, you need to write down the highs, lows, and pivot levels of the previous day. This is easy to find on the broker platform.
• Monitor script prices for movements based on open interest movements of derivative securities and news about stocks, at least until 9:45 am. You can also check the analysis chart to see the changes.
• You can enter for a long time at 9:45 am. Once the market opens, wait for the price to break the previous day's highs. If it breaks, you need to make sure that today's opening price is equal to today's low price. If so, you can go long and keep your stop loss at the low price of the current trading day.
• And if you want to plunge at 9:45 am, you can also use the daytime open high-low strategy. In this case, we need to pay attention to the low price of the previous day before 9:15 am. As soon as the market on the current trading day opens, you have to wait until the price breaks through the previous day's lows.
• In this case, you should immediately check if the opening price of the current trading day corresponds to each daily high. If so, you need to be shorter and maintain a stop loss as the high on the current trading day.
• Once you have successfully executed your open high-low trading strategy, you can close your trade at the end of the trading day or according to a predetermined stop loss.

Things to Ponder Before Opting for OHL Strategy

Trading Volume

During intraday trading, traders are required to trade in the shares that have high trading volume. Stocks that have high trading volume uplift traders’ confidence to an upper level.

First Candle Closing Picture

Individuals find it easy to trade in the stock only if the closing price of the first candle is lower than the closing price of the second candle.

Risk: Reward Ratio

While trading in stocks, intraday traders need to ensure that the risk-reward ratio should be minimum. Trade analysts consider that 1:2 is the optimal ratio as risk-reward.

Range Breakout

Traders who are seeking the OHL strategy find entering long or short positions can make a range breakout.

Wrapping Up

Open-high and Open-low strategies are some of the favored strategies that many experienced traders regularly use.

On the other hand, if you are a beginner who wants to trade intraday, should opt for a reputed stockbroking firm with masterful stock market research and advisory services.
