Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

Chapter 1 - Introduction

For summer internship I had the opportunity to work with Fintech Education, Vasai. It is
an ecosystem where they train and develop skills of young generation in the field of stock
market and digital marketing. They offer their services to more than 110 B-schools across
India through free workshops and paid courses. They have more than 70 clients, some of
which are BPCL, D-Link, SBI life insurance.

During internship I gained some knowledge related technical analysis of stock market by
performing intraday activities in equity market. Therefore, the topic for my internship
project is related to analysis of stocks in IT sector of Nifty. For this report, I have selected
3 stocks or companies which are TCS and WIPRO.

The focus of the report is on fundamental and technical analysis.

Fundamental Analysis - The fundamental analysis examines the companies’ economic and
financial reports, including all qualitative and quantitative information, in order to
determine its value. While typically this method is used to evaluate the real value of traded
stocks, it can also be applied to any other kind of assets. More specifically, it comprises an
examination of the company’s financial reports (such as profit and loss accounts and
balance sheets) in order to analyse several financial indicators (such as, revenues, earnings,
liabilities, expenses and assets). The fundamental analysis is carried out with the aim of
predicting company’s future performance. It is based on the belief that the market price of
an asset tends to move towards its “real value” or its “intrinsic value”. Thus, if the intrinsic
value of an asset is higher than its market value, there may be a situation where it is time
to buy. Otherwise, investors should sell. While carrying out a fundamental analysis,
investors usually use either Top-down approach or Bottom-up approach.

Technical Analysis – According to CFA institute, “Technical analysis is a form of security


analysis that uses price data and volume data, typically displayed graphically in charts. The
charts are analysed using various indicators in order to make investment recommendations.
Technical analysis has three main principles and assumptions: (1) The market discounts

Sanika Kulkarni Page 1 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

everything, (2) prices move in trends and countertrends, and (3) price action is repetitive,
with certain patterns reoccurring.” It means technical analysis is an analysis methodology
for analysing and forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data,
primarily price and volume.

Information about the companies

Company analysis

In this top to bottom fundamental approach, the last part is analysis of the companies. Here,
the researcher has taken basic financial ratios and analysed it to make it easy to understand
and compare the performance of the two companies for the last 5 years.

1. Solvency ratios

The ability of a corporation to pay its long-term debts and financial obligations is measured
by a financial indicator called the solvency ratio. It determines how much of a company's
assets, especially its long-term assets, can be used to pay off its long-term liabilities. Lower
financial risk is indicated by a higher solvency ratio because the company is better able to
pay its long-term debt and obligations.

A. Debt to equity ratio

A financial ratio called the debt-to-equity ratio assesses how much of a company's funding
originates from liabilities against equity (shareholders' equity). It is calculated by dividing
the total debt by the shareholders' equity.

Debt-to-equity ratio = Long term debt/ Equity Share

Standard Ratio is 2:1

Interpretation - The above data shows that debt to equity ratio of TCS in the year 2019 is
0.03, in March 2020 it is 0.09, and in 2021 the ratio is 0.10, afterwards in March 2022 it is
0.08. For Wipro, debt equity ratio in the year 2019 was 0.17, then in the year 2020 it was
0.11. In the year 2021 it increased to 0.12, in the year 2022 it was 0.23 and in 2023 it came
down to 0.19.

It is observed that the Debt-to-Equity ratio of TCS in the year 2019 is 0.03 but from 2019
to 2021 it was increased because the company had borrowed capital but in 2022 it was
again decreased because the company has buy-back the share in the year 2022. In case of
Wipro, from 2019 to 2021 it was declining but in the year 2021, the company has buy-
backed their shares so in 2022 it has increased.

B. Interest coverage ratio

The times interest earned (TIE) ratio, commonly referred to as the interest coverage ratio,
assesses a company's capacity to make interest payments on its debt. It is determined by
dividing a company's earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) by the interest expense. A
higher interest coverage ratio shows that the business is more likely to be able to pay its
interest debts, which translates to lesser financial risk.

Interest coverage ratio= EBIT / Total Interest Expenses

Interpretation - Interest Coverage Ratio of Wipro Ltd. drastically fell by to 18.97 this year.
Interest Coverage Ratio with value of 29.42 was highest in Year Mar-22 in last Five Years.
Interest Coverage Ratio with value of 16.66 was lowest in Year Mar-19 in last Five Years.

Sanika Kulkarni Page 14 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

Latest Interest Coverage Ratio with value of 18.97 is lower than Average Interest Coverage
of 22.21 in last five years.

Interest Coverage Ratio of Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. with value of 80.5 indicates the
company does have sufficient profit to service its debt. Interest Coverage Ratio with value
of 210.91 was highest in Year Mar-19 in last Five Years. Interest Coverage Ratio with value
of 46.72 was lowest in Year Mar-20 in last Five Years. Latest Interest Coverage Ratio with
value of 80.5 is lower than Average Interest Coverage of 97.78 in last five years.

2. Valuation ratios

Financial indicators called valuation ratios are employed to evaluate how appealing a
company's stock is in relation to its market value. Investors can use these statistics to assess
whether a stock is overvalued or undervalued. Price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S),
and price-to-book (P/B) ratios are among the popular valuation ratios.

A. Earnings per share

A crucial financial indicator that evaluates a company's profitability per share is earnings
per share. It is computed by dividing the net income of a business by the total number of
outstanding common stock shares. Investors evaluate a company's profitability and track
its performance over time using its EPS.

Earnings per share = Net Profit after Tax and Depreciation / Outstanding Share

Interpretation – EPS of TCS Ltd is increasing exponentially from 2019 to 2023. EPS of
2019 was 83.05. It increased to 86.19 in 2020. It didn’t increase much in 2021 i.e., 86.71
due to Covid but it increased to 103.62 in 2022 and in 2023 it is 115.19.

EPS Ratio of WIPRO has fallen Compared to previous Financial Year. EPS Ratio with
value of 22.37 was highest in Year Mar-22 in last Five Years. EPS Ratio with value of 14.99
was lowest in Year Mar-19 in last Five Years. Latest EPS Ratio with value of 20.73 is
Greater than Average EPS of 18.77 in last five years. It shows that even though the ratio
has decreased, it is not a bad indication.

B. Price-earnings ratio

The price-earnings ratio, or P/E ratio, is a valuation metric that contrasts the share price of
a firm with its earnings per share (EPS). It is determined by dividing the stock's current
market value by its EPS.

Price Earning Ratio = Market Prices per Share / Earning per Share

3. Profitability ratios

A company's capacity to produce profits in relation to its revenue, assets, equity, or other
financial measurements is evaluated using profitability ratios. These ratios reveal
information about a company's financial health and how effectively it turns resources into
profits.

A. Operating profit margin

A profitability ratio that assesses a company's operational profit as a percentage of its


revenue is the operating profit margin, commonly referred to as operating margin. It shows
how effectively a business controls its running costs to make money off of its main business
operations.

Operating Profit Margin = Operating Profit / Net Sales *100

It has been observed that the TCS company’s net profit is going down from 2018 to 2022.
It is not efficient but still it is able to keep cost under control even it is declining every
year. And there is chance that the pricing of the services is not done properly. But
according to the standard ratio the company is performing better. In case of Wipro ratio is
fluctuating. TCS net profit is more than the industry standard as well as Wipro.

Interpretation - A high dividend payout ratio indicates that a company is returning a large
portion of its earnings to shareholders. A low dividend payout ratio indicates that a
company is retaining more of its earnings to reinvest in the business.

The assessment of dividend payout ratio depends on the point of view of the investor. If
the investor is looking for periodic returns, then the lower dividend payout ratio is
desirable. However, if the investor is looking for long-term capital appreciation rather
than periodic returns then the higher dividend payout ratio is preferrable. This is because
if the company is not paying out dividend, then it is reinvesting its profits which results in
growth for the company.

DPR Ratio with value of 26.82 was highest in Year Mar-22 in last Five Years. DPR Ratio
with value of 4.82 was lowest in Year Mar-23 in last Five Years. Latest DPR Ratio with
value of 4.82 is lower than Average DPR of 9.95 in last five years.

DPR for Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. indicates that the company is reinvesting less
money back into its business, and paying out its earnings as dividends. DPR Ratio of TCS

Technical Analysis

Technical analysis of equity is the study of price and volume data to find patterns and trends
that can be used to forecast future price movements. Technical analysts use a number of
tools and approaches to spot patterns and trends because they believe that past price action
can be a reliable predictor of future price behaviour.

Some of the tools used most frequently in technical analysis are:

Charts - Technical analysts visualise price and volume data using charts. They might
employ a variety of graphs, including bar, line, and candlestick charts.

Indicators - Based on price and volume data, technical analysts employ indicators to
calculate mathematical values. Trends, momentum, and other elements can be detected
using these indicators.

Support and resistance levels - Technical analysts look at previous price movement to
determine support and resistance levels. Resistance levels are where the price has
historically encountered resistance and stopped increasing, whereas support levels are
where the price has usually found support and stopped declining.

It is possible to find both short-term and long-term trade opportunities using technical
analysis.

Trends

Uptrend -An uptrend is a market condition in which the price of an asset is rising over time.
This is characterized by higher highs and higher lows. In other words, the price is making
new highs and new lows that are higher than the previous highs and lows.

Downtrend - A downtrend is a market condition in which the price of an asset is falling


over time. This is characterized by lower highs and lower lows. In other words, the price is
making new highs and new lows that are lower than the previous highs and lows.

Sanika Kulkarni Page 29 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

Sideway trend - A sideways trend is a market condition in which the price of an asset is not
moving in a clear direction. Instead, the price is moving in a range, with highs and lows
that are approximately the same. This is also known as a consolidation phase.

Indicators

1. Bollinger Band

Bollinger Bands help traders identify price volatility and potential price reversals. When
the price is within the bands, it is considered normal volatility. When the price moves
outside the bands, it may indicate overbought (above the upper band) or oversold (below
the lower band) conditions.

Bollinger Bands are a volatility indicator developed by John Bollinger. They consist of
three lines -

A. The middle band, which is typically a 20-period simple moving average (SMA).

B. An upper band, which is usually set at two standard deviations above the middle band.

C. A lower band, set at two standard deviations below the middle band.

Chart 5.17

Chart showing Bollinger Band of Wipro Ltd.

Sanika Kulkarni Page 31 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

Interpretation - As we can see, the distance in upper and lower band is more from 2021 to
2022. It shows that there was more volatility in that year. All time high was on 14th Oct
2021, which was 739.

Chart 5.19

Chart showing Bollinger Band of TCS Ltd.

Interpretation - As we can see, the distance in upper and lower band is more from 2021 to
2023. It shows that there was more volatility in that year. Share price increased
exponentially. Daily all time high was on 18th Jan 2022 which was 4041, but it didn’t sustain
there for more than a day.

2. ATR (Average True Range)

The Average True Range is a technical indicator that is frequently used in the financial
markets to measure an asset's volatility. It was created by J. Welles Wilder and calculates
the average difference between an asset's high and low prices during a given time frame.
greater volatility is indicated by a greater ATR value, whilst lesser volatility is suggested

Sanika Kulkarni Page 32 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

by a lower ATR value. ATR is frequently used by traders to set stop-loss levels and
determine position sizing.

3. Heikin-Ashi

Heikin-Ashi, a type of candlestick charting technique used in financial market technical


analysis, means "average bar" in Japanese. Heikin-Ashi charts, in contrast to conventional
candlestick charts, smooth out price data to provide easier to understand visual patterns.
Heikin-Ashi charts are particularly useful for trend analysis and can help traders identify
potential reversals and trends.

Using Heikin-Ashi and ATR both together gives more accurate results.

Chart 5.20

Chart showing ATR and Heikin-Ashi of Wipro Ltd.

ATR with Heikin-Ashi and volume helps us to determine volatility in stock price. High
ATR represents high volatility. Heikin-Ashi help us to determine uptrend or downtrend of
the stock. Volume should also be high while buying or selling the stock as it represents that

Sanika Kulkarni Page 33 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

there are a greater number of buyers and sellers interested in the stock, In the above chart,
we can see that in 2021 and 2022 the volume is more because new traders entered the
market in Covid 19.

Chart 5.21

Chart showing ATR and Heikin-Ashi of TCS Ltd.

ATR of TCS Ltd is currently high. The volume was more in the years 2020, 2021 and 2022
because of Covid 19.

4. MACD – Moving Average Convergence/ Divergence

The popular momentum indicator MACD is used in technical analysis to spot possible
shifts in momentum, trend changes, and overbought or oversold situations in the financial
markets. The 12-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is subtracted from the 26-
period EMA to compute it. The outcome is referred to as the MACD line. In order to
produce buy and sell signals, the MACD line is additionally subjected to a 9-period EMA
known as the signal line. These signals are frequently verified by the histogram, which is
produced from the difference between the MACD line and the signal line. Traders use the

Sanika Kulkarni Page 34 of 71

instruments.

MACD line, which can function as a trigger for buy or sell signals. Traders may buy the
security when the MACD line crosses above the signal line and sell—or short—the security
when the MACD line crosses below the signal line.

Chart 5.22

Chart showing MACD of Wipro Ltd.

In the above chart, we can see that in July 2020, MACD line is cutting the signal line from
below. This indicates bullish trend and buy signal. We can observe that the trend is actually
an uptrend for following months. Similarly in Feb 2022, the MACD line is cutting the
signal line from above. This indicates downtrend and bearish dominance. This is indicator
of selling the stock or short selling.

9. Support and resistance line

Support Line - A support line, also known as a "support level" or just "support," is a price
point where there has historically been a tendency for the price of an asset to stop declining
and maybe even reverse direction. It denotes a point on the chart where buyers are more
willing to intervene and stop future price drops due to increased demand for the asset.

Support levels are a useful tool used by investors and traders to find possible purchases. It
is seen as a favourable entry point when the price of an asset approaches or hits a support
level since it implies that there might be more buyers than sellers at that price, raising the
possibility of a price bounce or reversal.

Sanika Kulkarni Page 45 of 71


Fundamental and technical analysis of IT sector in India – WIPRO and TCS

Resistance line - A resistance line, sometimes referred to as a "resistance level" or simply


"resistance," is a price point where there has historically been a tendency for the price of
an asset to fall and possibly even reverse its upward trend. It denotes a spot on the chart
when there is higher supply of the asset, creating more selling pressure.

Traders and investors utilise resistance levels to spot possible sell or short opportunities. It
is considered a possible exit or shorting point when the price of an asset approaches or
reaches a resistance level since it suggests that there might be more sellers than buyers at
that price, making it a difficult zone for the price to overcome.

Conclusion

In conclusion, in-depth examination of the Indian IT market with a special emphasis on


Wipro and TCS has shed important light on the present situation and prospects of these
businesses. I investigated important financial parameters, growth trends, and competitive
positioning through the fundamental study. In parallel, I examined market sentiment,
pricing patterns, and stock price fluctuations in my technical analysis.

Both prominent IT service providers Wipro and TCS have proven to be resilient and
adaptable in the face of external adversities. My fundamental study revealed sound
financial standing, long-term expansion plans, and a sizable clientele, all of which support
their competitive advantage.

On the technical front, I noticed that these companies' stock price performance and market
sentiment frequently follow larger market patterns, highlighting the importance of
macroeconomic issues. I was able to pinpoint potential entry and exit points for investors
and traders using technical analysis, which also included chart patterns and indicators,
indicating both short-term and long-term trading opportunities.

It's important to recognise the dynamic nature of the IT industry, which can be significantly
impacted by factors such as geopolitics, technical breakthroughs, regulatory changes, and
global economic situations. Therefore, investors in this industry must maintain a constant
eye and adapt to changing market conditions.

As a result of their solid foundations and dynamic technical patterns, Wipro and TCS
remain potential investments in the IT industry, according to the analysis.
