Nifty Budget and PE Ratio: What's in for you!!!Nifty Previous Close 11027 Good Morning to all of you... Its Budget day today What will it be like... Will we see Corporate tax relaxation Will the Common Man get some relief in Income Tax Will we see changes in Long term Capital Gain tax... What will happen to Fiscal Deficit etc...etc So many questions... So many possibilities... All will be answered today by the Finance Minister. However from a Technical Analysis point of view Price reflects and prices in every thing. So we look back at the chart and concentrate on the numbers more and see if can get some answers On charts we observe - 2 Parallel Channels of same size ( Green Channel being original. Red Channel being replica) - Nifty is at levels that coincides with top of Channel Replica - Nifty has formed major tops and bottoms around Budget day in the last 3 years Chart wise that says a lot... Caution is in the air... For those looking for some more deeper analysis and playing around with numbers... Well carry on reading... Below is the Link which will take you to an excel sheet where Nifty Budget day reactions since the year 2004 have been captured along with performance of Nifty till next Budget. Also we try to analyse if Price to Earning Ratio has any say in predicting the movement.... drive.google.com If you see out of 16 times Nifty has given - a positive reaction on 8 occasions & - negative reaction 8 times So it's 50:50. In terms of probability Nothing much to choose... But in terms of Magnitude - Nifty has at best given 2.63% reaction on a positive note - However it has fallen by 3% or more on 3 occasions (worst being -6.21% in July 2009) So although Nifty has reacted positively and negatively equal number of times, Net Change on Budget day since 2004 turns out to be -8.87% Day traders / Short term traders, hope it helps to plan your trade accordingly...!!! Now that we have covered short term view lets look at the bigger picture i.e how Nifty has done Budget to Budget. Lets try and also analyse whether PE ratio has any thing to say Nifty PE Ratio or Price to Earning Ratio is a Fundamental tool which reflects overall Valuation of the Market Below is the link of this Fundamental Information being converted into a Chart for analysis. drive.google.com Nifty PE > 22 considered to be on the expensive side Nifty PE = 18 Fair or Reasonable valuation Nifty PE < 15 considered to be at attractive valuation In the excel sheet one may notice that whenever Nifty PE has been below 21 on Budget day, it has given a positive return till next Budget on all but 1 occasion In 3 out of 4 occasions, when Nifty PE has been above 21 on Budget day, Nifty has given negative return of 20% or more till next Budget And on one occasion i.e in the last one year Nifty has given a Positive return of 26% despite Nifty PE being at 23.27 on 01-Feb-2017 Today as we stand, Nifty PE is at 27.5. Again this time it could be different ... Markets can scale even further higher but Numbers & stats suggest otherwise... A possibility of 20% fall or more till next Budget is having a 75% Probability of coming true So Stay grounded... have realistic expectations... Do not over leverage... & give more importance to Risk Management !! Wish all the best & Hope it helps you all a long way in planning your investments...!!! Do share with your friends and colleagues if you find the analysis insightful, interesting & helpful Take care & safe investing...!!!
