Impact Of Company's Quarterly Result On Share Price

Impact Of Company’s Quarter Result on Stock Price
Quarter results of all listed companies are released as per SEBI guidelines. Due to which a very rapid fluctuations in stock prices can be seen. Sometimes a minor jump in sales figures drive the stocks in green and several times stocks fall after increasing in sales number also. It’s almost impossible to analyze the quarterly result in one go just after seeing the flash of news on TV.
There are certain key things which can be analyzed in quarterly result:
·         Gross Sales: It’s basically a number of total sales figure.
·         Net Sales: From gross sales, one can derive net sales by deducting sales return, sales allowances, and sales discount from gross sales.
·         Operating expenses: To run a business there is a minimum base requirement of capital to operate. Basically this is the cost of running a business. Salaries of employees, electricity, legal fees and business license are some of examples of operating expenses. 
·         Operating Profit: When operating expenses are deducted from net sales we get the operating profit or Earnings before interest tax depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
·         Net Profit or net income: In the income statement we can find details about tax and loan repayment which when deducted from operating profits gives us the net profit.
Apart from above mentioned key points there are several more things which can be analyzed by studying quarterly result of a company. All these key parameters are basically viewed and analyzed under the branch of fundamental analysis and in a long run all these key numbers will be reflected in share price.
On a view to judge the quarterly result for trading purpose one has to speculate the market price and one has to focus on only one thing “expectation”. It is a wrong sentiment that profit means price hike and loss means price drop. There is no any thumb rule like this but if market is expecting a profit of 100 of Xyz Company compare to previous quarter number of 200. In this case profit is going to be declined but if expectation is of 100 and result came of 150 although it is reduced compare to previous quarter number but it is more than the expectation so market will react accordingly.

It just depends on the individual that how one looks at the quarter result either for a long term view or a short term view, one is speculating the price or depending on fundamental aspects. But one thing is certain that either it take a time of week month or years the impact of result will be reflected in share price.

India: Growth Slow Down (A note on GDP)

Indian economy slowed down significantly in the first quarter of FY2017, which is worst in last three years exactly the same years Modi government is in center. According to recently released data GDP expanded a weak 5.7% annually in Q1 FY 2017, which was sharply below the 6.1% increase in Q4 FY 2016. All those analyst who were forecasting a healthy growth rate now are vanished and our finance minister is accepting that this is a matter of concern. The probable reason of this slow down can be demonetization or implementation of GST. Export growth slowed notably from 10.3% in Q4 FY 2016 to 1.2% in FY 2017, the worst result since Q4 FY 2015. A strong rupee and confusion over the looming implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) likely weighed on the result.

Meanwhile, import growth rose to...

What Macron’s Win In France Means For Emerging Markets And India

What Macron’s Win In France Means For Emerging Markets And India As result of France’s presidential election has already been announced and Emmanuel Macron won the election defeating Le Pen. Emmanuel Macron is the youngest president in the history of France. As market was expecting the same and the positive rally was already in cashed that’s why market has not reacted unexpectedly after the results.
