EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Market prices of the shares reflect the performance of the company. Today, wealth created by the
company is more important than the profit it earns or the dividend it pays to the shareholders.
The objective of this research is to study the relationship that exists between the wealth, value
and other performance based measures for the shareholders created by the company with respect
to market prices of the shares.
The value-based management performance measure EVA introduced by Stern Stewart & Co. is
an incarnation of the underlying residual income (RI) concept. EVA is equal to NOPAT (Net
Operating Profit) minus WACC (Weighted Average Cost of Capital) *Capital Employed.
NOPAT is EBIT after taxes. Cost of equity is calculated using CAPM Model. Beta is calculated
based on monthly high low average of past five years. MVA is the sum of all capital claims held
against the company plus the market value of debt and equity.
The value based performance measures are evaluated and compared with traditional valuation
measures like Earnings per share (EPS), ROCE (Return On Capital Employed) and RONW
(Return On Net Worth) within a controlled simulation framework. The purpose of the study is to
see whether EVA, MVA, ROCE, RONW, EPS, have relationship with share prices, and this is
tested on 30 companies of the stock market for a period of 5years beginning from FY 2003-2004
to FY 2007-2008. Analysis is done using the Regression tool.
From the study it is observed that there is strong pattern of wealth created by companies. EVA of
different companies varies year to year based on its overall cost of capital and cost of equity is
more influential factor but it is unexpectedly insensitive to its cost of debt component under
regular conditions. It is also found that EVA, MVA and market price have good relation for the
sample companies. And thus we can say that investors do consider EVA for the investment
decision. EPS, ROCE & RONW market price also have good relation for the sample companies

Relationship of various performance measures with share prices
BACKGROUND
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
Market prices of the shares reflect the performance of the company. Today, wealth created by the
company is more important than the profit it earns or the dividend it pays to the shareholders.
Creation of shareholder’s value is the core of every business. This is natural since shareholders
own the company and as rational investors they expect good long-term yield on their investment.
Maximizing value means maximizing long-term yield on shareholders’ investment.
There are a number of financial performance measures. The Commonly used accounting
measures are Earnings Per share (EPS), Price Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio), Return On Capital
Employed (ROCE), Return On Net Worth (RONW) etc. Apart from this, value based metrics of
performance evaluation like EVA (Economic Value Added), MVA (Market Value Added), CVA
(Cash Value Added) and CFROI (Cash Flow Return on Investment) have come into existence.
These new performance metrics seek to measure the periodic performance in terms of change in
value. Maximizing value means maximizing long-term yield on shareholders’ investment.
Considering this, it is interesting to examine which of the performance measures has more
influence on the share prices.
1.2 AN OVERVIEW:
Investors analyze and interpret the financial statements so that they can get an insight into the
firm’s performance. Ratio analysis is one of the tools of financial analysis. It shows the
relationship between two figures in the financial statements. There are various types of ratios
used. Investors are more interested in profitability ratios like Net profit ratio, Earnings per share,
Return on Capital employed, Return on Net worth, etc., and valuation ratios like Price-Earnings
ratio, Earnings per share, Yield, etc.
NPR shows the earnings left for the shareholders as a percentage of net sales. It measures the
overall efficiency of production, administration, selling, financing, pricing and provides a
valuable understanding of the cost profit structure of the company. It enables the analysts to
identify the sources of business efficiency/inefficiency.
RONW measures the profitability for the shareholders funds invested in the firm. It is an
important measure as it reflects the productivity of the ownership capital in the firm. This
measure is of great interest to the shareholders.
EPS is also a measure of the profitability of the firm. It indicates the profitability on a per-share
basis.
An indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA gives an idea as to
how efficient management is at using its assets to generate earnings. Calculated by dividing a
company's annual earnings by its total assets, ROA is displayed as a percentage. Sometimes this
is referred to as "return on investment".
A ratio that indicates the efficiency and profitability of a company's capital investments.

Relationship of various performance measures with share prices
MVA is the difference between the company’s market value and the capital invested. It is the
premium the market awards a company over and above the amount the investors have invested in
it. This helps in the assessment of how the markets view EVA generating ability of the firm. So,
MVA is the market expectations of future EVAs generated by a firm.
(1+WACC)^1 (1+WACC)^2
Calculated as:
The consulting firm Stern Stewart originally proposed it. It is the most popular value-based
measure. It is the surplus left after making an appropriate charge for the capital employed in the
business.
Stern Stewart & Co, a consulting firm based in New York, introduced the concept of EVA as a
measurement tool in 1989, and trademarked it. The EVA concept is often called Economic Profit
(EP) to avoid problems caused by the trade marking. EVA is so popular and well known that all
residual income concepts are often called EVA even though they do not include the main
elements defined by Stern Stewart & Co (Pinto, 2001)
Stern Stewart developed EVA to help managers incorporate two basic principles of finance into
their decision making:
2. Accepting that the value of a company depends on the extent to which investors expect
future profits to exceed or fall short of the cost of capital.
Today, this mechanism enable all types of firms to determine their value creation and share
holders to determine the value created on their investments. The first question coming to our
mind after reading this is:
WHAT IS EVA?
EVA is a value based financial performance measure, an investment decision tool and a
performance measure reflecting the absolute amount of shareholder value created. It is computed
as the product of the “excess return” made on an investment or investments and the capital
invested in that investment or investments. EVA is the net operating profit minus an appropriate
charge for the opportunity cost of all capital invested in an enterprise or project. It is an estimate
of true economic profit, or the amount by which earnings exceed or fall short of the required
minimum rate of return investors could get by investing in other securities of comparable risk
(Stewart, 1990).
Uses of EVA
In stock selection the EVA tool can be used in four distinct ways.
¾ Analyzing historical trends - EVA can measure a company’s historical success in creating
shareholder wealth.
¾ Using EVA to forecast a target stock price - EVA can be used to determine whether a
stock is fairly valued based on a forecast of economic profits. Such a forecast converts
discounted EVA into a share price.
¾ To quantify Competitive Advantage Period (CAP) - Stock prices in many cases may
reflect a long competitive advantage period. Analysts can use the value driver model to
look at their assumptions regarding risk and CAP.
¾ To examine excess returns and its impact on valuation of a stock - Another way of
exploring the explanatory power of the value drivers in an EVA model is to perform a
regression analysis of invested capital (ROIC) minus the weighted average cost of capital
(WACC) spread as the independent variable and enterprise value to invest capital as the
dependant variable. The correlation between return spreads and valuation is quite strong.
By taking all capital costs into account, including the cost of equity, EVA shows the monetary
amount of wealth a business has created or destroyed in each reporting period. In other words,
EVA is the profit as defined by the share holders.
The capital charge is the most distinctive and important aspect of EVA. Under conventional
accounting, most companies appear profitable but many in fact are not. As Peter Drucker put the
matter in a Harvard Business Review article, "Until a business returns a profit that is greater than
its cost of capital, it operates at a loss. Never mind that it pays taxes as if it had a genuine profit.
The enterprise still returns less to the economy than it devours in resources…Until then it does
not create wealth; it destroys it." EVA corrects this error by explicitly recognizing that when
managers employ capital they must pay for it, just as if it were a wage.

Relationship of various performance measures with share prices
If the shareholders expect, say, a 10% return on their investment, they "make money" only to the
extent that their share of after-tax operating profits exceeds 10% of equity capital. Everything
before that is just building up to the minimum acceptable compensation for investing in a risky
enterprise.
APPLICATIONS OF EVA:
¾ To measure how much shareholder value the firm has created in the past and
¾ To determine investor expectations as they relate to the stock price.
ADVANTAGES OF EVA:
EVA is frequently regarded as a single, simple measure that provides a real picture of
shareholder wealth creation. In addition to motivating managers to create shareholder value and
to serving as a basis for the calculation of management compensation, there are further practical
advantages that value based measurement systems can offer. According to Roztoci & Needy an
EVA system helps managers to:
EVA is an effective measure of the quality of managerial decisions and a reliable indicator of a
company’s value growth in the future. Constant positive EVA values over time will increase
company values, while negative EVA values might decrease company values.
Above all, EVA helps in overcoming the ambiguity of financial goals. Most companies use a
plethora of measures to express their financial goals and objective.
Upto 1970 residual income did not get wide publicity and it was not the prime performance
measure for companies (Mäkeläinen, 1998). However, in the 1990’s, the creation of shareholder
value has become recognized as the ultimate economic purpose of a corporation.
Firms adopt this concept to track their financial position and to guide management decisions
regarding resource allocation, capital budgeting and acquisition analysis. At operational level
EVA approach leads often to increased shareholder value through increased capital turnover
(Wallace 1997, p.16). In many companies everything has been done in cutting costs but the
capital efficiency has been ignored. EVA has been helpful because it forces to pay attention to
capital employed and especially to excess working capital. Allocating the capital costs to their
originators i.e. individual functions of organization can further reinforce this impact.
1. Return on capital is very common and relatively good performance measure. Different
companies calculate this return with different formulas and call it also with different names like
Return on investment (ROI), Return on invested capital (ROIC), Return on capital employed
(ROCE), Return on net assets (RONA), Return on assets (ROA) etc. The main shortcoming with
all this rate of return is that maximizing rate of return does not necessarily maximize the return to
shareholders.
2. Also operations should not be guided with the goal to maximize the rate of return. As a
relative measure and without the risk component ROI fails to steer operations correctly.
Therefore capital can be misallocated on the basis of ROI. First of all ROI ignores the definite
requirement that the rate of return should be at least as high as the cost of capital. Secondly ROI
does not recognize that shareholders’ wealth is not maximized when the rate of return is
maximized. Shareholders want the firm to maximize the absolute return above the cost of capital
and not to maximize percentages. Companies should not ignore projects yielding more than the
cost of capital just because the return happens to be less than their current return. Cost of capital
is much more important hurdle rate than the company's current rate of return.
3. Observing rate of return and making decisions based on it alone is similar to assessing
products on the "gross margin on sales" -percentage. The product with the biggest "gross margin
on sales" -percentage is not necessary the most profitable product. The product profitability
depends also on the product volume. In the same way bare high rate of return should not be used
as a measure of a company's performance. Also the magnitude of operations i.e. the amount of
capital that produces that return is important. High return is a lot easier to achieve with tiny
amount of capital than with large amount of capital. Almost any highly profitable company can
increase its rate of return if it decreases its size or overlooks some good projects, which produce
a return under the current rate of return.
RONW suffers from the same shortcomings as ROI. Risk component is not included and hence
there is no comparison. The level of RONW does not tell the owners if company is creating
shareholders wealth or destroying it. With RONW this shortcoming is however much more
severe than with ROI, because simply increasing leverage can increase RONW. As we all know,
decreasing solvency does not always make shareholders’ position better because of the increased
(financial) risk. As RONW, return on net worth (ROE) is also an informative measure but it
should not guide the operations.
EPS is raised simply by investing more capital in business. If the additional capital is equity
(cash flow) then the EPS will rise if the rate of return of the invested capital is just positive. If the
additional capital is debt then the EPS will rise if the rate of return of the invested capital is just
above the cost of debt. In reality the invested capital is a mix of debt and equity and the EPS will
rise if the rate of return of that additional capital invested is somewhere between cost of debt and
zero. Therefore EPS is completely inappropriate measure of corporate performance and still it is
very common yardstick and even a common bonus base. EPS and earnings can be increased
simply by pouring more money into business even though the return on that money would be
entirely unacceptable from the viewpoint of owners. EPS, earnings and earnings/EPS growth
should therefore be abandoned as performance measures.
CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW
LITERATURE REVIEW:
My preliminary review of the current literature indicates that the application of perceptual
mapping of Relationship of Economic Value Added, Market Value Added & Return on net
worth, Return on capital employed, Earnings per share with respect to Share Price has not been
adequately researched. The available research data is sketchy and scanty. Thus, there is a vital
gap in the current research. This has prompted me to take up this research investigation.
The share prices in the market can be measured by the MVA-Market value added for the
company which is the total market value of the company. This relationship between EVA and
MVA has been studied in the recent years in many studies with many methods – and with
different results
STERN STEWART:
In 1990 has first studied this relationship with market data of 618 U.S. companies. Stewart
presents the results in his book "The quest for value". Stewart has studied the relationship
between EVA and market value of the company and he has produced a list of companies’ EVA
annually since 1982, its coverage is limited to the largest 1,000 companies.Stern Stewart claims
that:
Lehn and Makhija (1996) first studied this relationship with market data of 618 U.S. companies
i.e. relationship between MVA & EVA.
METHODOLOGY:
The data consists of 241 U.S.companies and cover years 1987, 1988, 1992 and 1993. The
researchers first find out that both measures correlate positively with stock returns and that the
correlation is slightly better than with traditional performance measures like return on assets
(ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on sales (ROS).
CONCLUSION:
Lehn and Makhija conclude that their results suggest EVA and MVA to be effective performance
measures that contain information about the quality of strategic decisions and serve as signals of
strategic change.
Dodd and Chen (1996) study the correlation between stock returns and different profitability
measures
METHODOLOGY:
The study was based on 566 U.S. companies from 1983-1992. In the study ROA explained stock
returns best with R squared of 24.5%. The R squared for other metrics are: EVA 20.2%, residual
income 19.4% and EPS, ROE approximately 5-7%.
CONCLUSION
The writers concluded that firms adopting EVA might as adopt simple residual income concept,
while residual income correlates with share prices almost as well as its adjusted version called
EVA.
METHODOLOGY:
David M. Szymanski, Sundar G. Bharadwaj and P. Rajan Varadarajan, performed a met analysis
on 276 market share profitability findings from forty-eight studies to address whether market
share and profitability are possibility related and to examine the factors that moderate the
magnitude of that relationship.
CONCLUSION:
The authors found that, on average, market share has a positive effect on business profitability.
Research on “The relationship between growth, profitability and firm value examined predictions
drawn from value based planning models Result indicates that profitability and growth do
influence shareholder value in the manner predicated; however the relationships are conditional.
This study also shows that, the market to book value of equity ratio and Tobin’s q ratio are
theoretically & empirically equivalent measures of value creation.
On “Economic Value Added (EVA) - An Emerging Tool for Value Creation” in 2000 suggests
that
¾ The study points out that EVA alone cannot be an ‘Indicator of Value.’ At the best
it can be used an additional tool. However the use of EVA analysis in isolation can
lead to misleading results.
¾ In India, there is no big correlation between EVA, management innovation and
stock market analysis. EVA serves a useful indicator only at the conceptual stage
rather than on the operational stage. As regards stock market indicator it cannot be
relied upon as a sole measure.
¾ As far as India is concerned the stock trends depend on a number of variables of
which EVA is one among them. It is clear that only a blend of EVA and other
variables can give a holistic future on stock market.
CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH DESIGN
Investors are currently demanding Shareholder value more strongly than ever. So the value
created by the company is more linked to the market price of the shares. This study is undertaken
to show the relationship that exists between the various performance metrics and the share prices
as the performance of the company is reflected in the share prices in the market.
The purpose of the study is to see whether EVA, MVA, ROCE, RONW, EPS, have relationship
with share prices and this relationship is significant or not. This shows that value addition by the
company is also a dependant factor for the movement in the share prices. So this study is helpful
to the investors for their investment decision as the study also allows them to easily identify
companies that pursue business strategies with the goal of shareholders value creation.
There are various views with respect to whether traditional measures or value-based measures
influence the share prices. Considering this, it is interesting to examine which of the performance
measures has more influence on the share prices. Question to be addressed is whether there is
relationship between EVA, MVA, RONW, EPS, ROCE with respect to share prices.
The Purpose of the study is to see whether EVA, MVA, RONW, EPS, ROCE have relationship

• To analyze the relationship of EVA, MVA, RONW, EPS, and ROCE with respect to
share prices.
• To find out which of the performance metrics is better reflected in the share prices.
• The scope of the study is limited to three sectors i.e. software, power and pharmaceutical
industries under which 10 companies from each industry have been taken for my study.
And the analysis is based on the last 5 year data.
The following are the research questions that are addressed in the study:
1. Is there any relationship between EVA, MVA with respect to Share prices?
2. Is there any relationship between EPS, RONW, and ROCE with respect to Share prices?
3. Are EVA & MVA strong influencing factors on the share prices as compared to EPS,
RONW and ROCE?
Population includes 30 domestic companies from IT, Power & Pharmaceutical sectors.
Sampling frame includes, those companies that are listed in the Bombay Stock Exchange
Simple Random sampling is used because only particular units are selected from the sampling
frame. Such a selection is undertaken as these units represent the population in a better way. The
companies listed in the stock exchange are considered since the market prices can be obtained.
Sample includes 30 companies in the Stock market (for which relevant data was available), for a
period of 5 years starting from FY 2003-2004 to 2007-2008

3.7 HYPOTHESIS:
Hypothesis 1
Hypothesis 2
H0: There is no significant relationship between EPS, ROCE , RONW and Share prices.
H1: There is significant relationship between EPS, ROCE , RONW and Share prices.
The hypothesis is tested using Multiple regression tool. The hypothesis is tested using regression
tool, simple co-efficient of Correlation, co-efficient of determination and P-value
Regression is the process of predicting one variable from another by statistical means using
previous data.
Multiple regressions are statistical process by which several independent variables are used to
predict one dependant variable.
1.Simple Regression
Y=a+bx
a is the constant
2.Multiple Regression
Y=a+b1x1+b2x2+b3x3
a is the constant
3.Co-efficient of correlation
It is used to describe how well one variable is explained by the other variable. It reveals the
magnitude and direction of relationship. The magnitude is the degree to which variables move in
the same or opposite direction. The co-efficient signifies the direction of the relationship.
4.Co-efficient of determination
It measures the extent, or strength of the association that exists between the two variables.
5.F- statistic
6.T-statistic
It is used for testing the significance of an dependent variable over the independent variable.
There are two methods of testing the relationship with the help of t-statistics.
They are
In this case if the calculated t-value is greater than that of table value null hypothesis has
to be rejected and alternate hypothesis has to be accepted.37
• If the p-value is greater than or equal to level of significance the null hypothesis is accepted.
• If the p-value is less than the level of significance, the null hypothesis is rejected.
In this project report, Probability value (P-Value) is used to find out which performance measure
has better relationship with share price. Lower the P-Value, better is the relationship with
dependent variable.
where-
It is calculated as follows:
W1 is weight of debt
W2 is weight of equity
W3 is weight of preference
Kd is the effective cost of debt, which is calculated by dividing the total interest by the total
debt.
Ke is calculated using the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) developed by Modigliani and
Miller.
Ke=RF+Beta (Rm-Rf)
Kp is the effective cost of preference, which is calculated by dividing the total Dividend
Preference by the total preference capital.
Rf is the risk free rate, i.e., the rate of interest for 1-year government securities. These rates are
obtained from the website of Reserve Bank of India.
Rm is the return for the market. It is calculated by using the formula given below for the index
values. Rm=Average of return on market for all the 4 years
Return = (Closing index value-opening index value)/ Opening index value * 100
Beta values for all the sample companies for all the 4 years are calculated by finding the slope
between log normal of share prices of all the companies and log normal of the index values. Log
normal of the values is considered to remove abnormalities if any and convert them into normal
distribution.

CHAPTER 4
INDUSTRY PROFILE
The India Software Industry has brought about a tremendous success for the emerging economy.
The software industry is the main component of the Information technology in India. India's pool
of young aged manpower is the key behind this success story. Presently there are more than 500
software firms in the country which shows the monumental advancement that the India Software
Industry has experienced.
Porters Model:
Supply: Abundant supply across segments, mainly lower-end, such as ADM. Lower in higher-
end areas like IT/business consulting, but competition is very tough.
Demand: IT is spending expected to grow at 6% CAGR over the next 3-4 years, and growth is
buoyant in fast-growing economies such as India and China. Europe also shows promise.
Demand largely depends upon the state of the global economy and willingness of corporations to
go in for new software services and greater discretionary spending rather than consolidating
existing systems.
Barriers to entry: Low in the ADM segment, which is prone to relatively easy commoditisation.
In high-end services like IT/business consulting, where domain expertise creates a barrier. The
size of a particular company/scalability also creates barriers to entry, as these firms have built up
long-term relationships with major clients and to take business away from them is not easy.
Competition: Competition is global in nature and stretches across boundaries and geographies.
It is expected to intensify due to the attempted replication of the Indian offshoring model by
MNC IT majors.
The power sector has registered significant progress since the process of planned development of
the economy began in 1950. Hydro -power and coal based thermal power have been the main
sources of generating electricity. Nuclear power development is at slower pace, which was
introduced, in late sixties. The concept of operating power systems on a regional basis crossing
the political boundaries of states was introduced in the early sixties. In spite of the overall
development that has taken place, the power supply industry has been under constant pressure to
bridge the gap between supply and demand.
Porters Model:
Supply: Many projects have been planned but due to slow regulatory processes, especially in the
distribution segment, the supply is far lesser than demand. Currently, India needs to double its
generation capacity in the next 7 to 10 years to meet the potential demand.
Demand: The long-term average demand growth rate is 6% to 7% per annum and is expected to
grow at faster rate in the future.
Barriers to entry: Barriers to entry are high, especially in the transmission and distribution
segments, which are largely state monopolies. Also, entering the power generation business
requires heavy investment initially. The other barriers are fuel linkages, payment guarantees
from state governments that buy power and retail distribution license.
Bargaining power of suppliers: Not very high as government controls tariff structure.
However, this may change in the future.
Competition: Not high currently. The Electricity Act 2003 aims to encourage investments,
thereby increasing competition.
The highly fragmented Indian pharmaceutical industry has around 30,000 players, out of which
330 are in organized sector.
Accounting for two percent of the world's pharmaceutical market, the Indian pharmaceutical
sector has an estimated market value of about US $8 billion. It's at 4th rank in terms of total
pharmaceutical production and 13th in terms of value. As in the present scenario, only a few
people can afford costly drugs, which have increased price sensitivity in the pharmaceutical
market. Now the companies are trying to capture the market by introducing high quality and
lowpricemedicinesanddrugs.
With the Product Patent Act, which came into action in January 2005, this industry is able to
attract big MNCs to India. Earlier these big firms had apprehensions in launching new drugs
intheIndianmarket.
At present, a large number of Indian pharmaceuticals companies are looking for tie-ups with
foreignfirmsforin-licensedrugs.
Contract research and pharmaceutical outsourcing are the new avenues in the pharmaceutical
market.
Indian multinational companies like Dr.Reddy's Lab, Cipla, Ranbaxy, etc have created awareness
about the Indian market prospects in the international pharmaceutical market. Approvals given
by Foods and Drugs Administration (FDA) and ANDA (Abbreviated New Drug
Application)/DMF (Drug Master File) have played an important role in making India a cost-
effective and high quality product manufacturer. Furthermore, the changes that took place in the
patent law, change of process patent to product patent, have helped in reducing
theriskoflossforintellectualproperty.
Porters Model:
Supply: Higher for traditional therapeutic segments, which is typical of a developing market.
Relatively lower for lifestyle segment.
Demand: Very high for certain therapeutic segments. Will change as life expectancy, literacy
increases.
Bargaining power of suppliers: Distributors are increasingly pushing generic products in a bid
to earn higher margins.
Bargaining power of customers: High, a fragmented industry has ensured that there is
widespread competition in almost all product segments. (Currently also protected by the DPCO).
Competition: High. Very fragmented industry with the top 300 (of 24,000 manufacturing units)
players accounting for 85% of sales value. Consolidation is likely to intensify.

CHAPTER 5
INTERPRETATIONS:
TABLE 5.1
It can be seen that, beta of the software companies have decreased from year to year. Earlier in
2004, it was in the range between “0.5 to 0.9” except some cases. But slowly it has decreased to
about 0.30 by the end of 2008. Thus we can say that there is much variation in beta of the stock
and hence variation in the stock prices. The beta of power and pharmaceutical companies vary
from 0.3 to 0.6 in most of the cases.
TABLE 5.2
NOPAT is increased consistently and improved from year to year of almost all the companies.
There is some variations in case of pharmacy companies. In 2006, NOPAT of Ranbaxy has
dropped, while in case of Dr. Reddy’s NOPAT has decreased continuously but from 2006 it has
improved a lot.
TABLE 5.3
From the table it is concluded that weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of the all
companies during 2004 is very low. But in 2005, WACC is increased drastically because of
increasing beta and market return as well as. In 2008, WACC of most the companies have
decreased again & this is because of the variation of beta and market return
TABLE 5.4
Total capital employed of almost all the companies have increased consistently from 2004 to
2006 and still maintains the same trend. Infosys has increased its capital from 3253 to 13490 and
we can find approximately the same percentage increase in most of the cases in software and
power sector. Capital employed of pharmaceutical companies show an increasing trend but at a
lesser percentage.

¾ Since the Multiple R is more than 50% in both the cases (i.e.93.07% & 97%), It shows
that there is a high positive Correlation between EVA & MVA with respect to Share
Prices and EPS, ROCE & RONW with respect to share prices.
¾ Since the value of R square is approximately 87% for EVA & MVA, it shows that the
prices are affected by EVA & MVA by 13% and remaining 25% by some other factor. In

COMPANIES H0 BETTER
POWER
NTPC Accepted Rejected EPS
PHARMACEUTICALS
Sun pharma Rejected Rejected MVA
INTERPRETATIONS:
From the above summary, it is clear that the null hypothesis is rejected in case of 27
companies, where as the null hypothesis cannot be rejected in just 3 companies, in case of
“Relationship of EVA, MVA with respect to share share prices”.
In case of “Relationship between EPS, ROCE & RONW with respect to share prices”, the
null hypothesis in case of all the 30 companies is said to be rejected.
Therefore, we can conclude that there is relationship between the performance measures
with share prices and we can also observe that, EPS is strong influencing factor among
the variables. Investor’s decisions rely on the EPS as it is well published information and
is directly related to P-E multiple which is used by the fund managers for predicting the
share prices of the companies.
But when we look at each sector, we can conclude that in Software sector, EPS is the
strong influencing factor. In the power industry, EVA is the strong influencing sector and
this may be due the fact that the power industry has created a lot of capital. In case of
Pharmaceutical industry, again EPS is the influencing factor.
CHAPTER 6
From the study ,we can find that investing in the market is becoming less risky as the beta
of the individual securities is decreasing year by year.The decrease in beta is decreasing
the weighted average cost of capital; it shows that capital is becoming less costly.As the
market is becoming less risky, therefore share prices of almost all the companies show a
decreasing trend in the 2008 year and this may be the global meltdown. It is also found
that EPS is strong influencing factor among the variables. Investor’s decisions rely on the
EPS as it is well published information and is directly related to P-E multiple which is
used by the fund managers for predicting the share prices of the companies.
Share prices of twenty seven companies’ shows high correlation of coefficient and
coefficient of determination with EVA, MVA, EPS, ROCE & RONW. Share prices of
only two companies shows low correlation of coefficient and coefficient of determination
with EVA, MVA.
This specifies that there is relationship between EVA, MVA and share price, EPS,
ROCE & RONW and share prices.
6.2 RECOMMENDATIONS:
Investors can invest in the companies whose EVA is in the increasing trend, but the
investors also need to look at other aspects like mergers and acquisitions, sold outs and
various other factors which influence the market.
This report explains the importance of using EVA & MVA as the tools for measuring
financial performance. The study reveals that there is strong pattern of EVA & MVA of
selected companies during the period.
The wealth created by most companies in year 2004 is negative because of higher cost of
capital. The central idea of EVA is subtracting the cost of capital from the firm's profits
to measure, as the term indicates, the economic additional value produced by the firm to
its owners over the weighted cost of the capital employed. It reveals that the the decision
of managers between using equity fund or debt fund will influence EVA to the greater
extent. This raised the question of the effect of the debt and equity cost components on
the behavior of EVA. It was observed that the cost of debt has little effect on the EVA's.
On the other hand, as is expected, EVA behaves in a linear fashion with respect to the
cost of equity
According to the research conducted, the conclusion is, even though EVA is correlated to
stock prices, it is not much greater than the correlation between accounting profit (EPS,
ROCE & RONW) and stock prices. Therefore, though EVA might be incrementally
better over other measures, it does not really provide any significant informational
advantage and cannot be used to forecast the share price of the company.
This research has a limited scope, that is only five years and the data of only thirty
companies is taken into consideration. These five years had showed a lot of variations
with respect to beta, invested capital, weighted average cost of capital and share prices.
To overcome this limitation of the study, the sample size and the years of consideration
for the research has to be increased, so as to decrease the variations with respect to the
above mentioned variables.
Extensive study is required to establish the influence of other factors like expectations of
investors with respect to mergers and acquisitions, sold outs and various other factors
which influence investors to undertake investing decisions. It is because in these days all
the above mentioned factors are common and it is expected that it will also influence
share prices.
