Stock Price Movements

One of the highly controversial issues in the area of finance is “Efficient Market Hypothesis”. Efficient Market Hypothesis states that, “In an efficient market, all available price information is reflected in the stock prices and it is not possible to generate abnormal returns compared to other investors.” A lot of studies conducted previouslyto test the Efficient Market Hypothesis, confirmed the theory until recent years, when some academicians found it to be non-applicable in financial markets. According to them, it is possible to forecast the stock price movements using Technical Analysis. The results of various studies have been inconclusive and indefinite about the issue. This study attempted to test the efficiency of FMCG Sector stocks in India in its weak form. For the study, closing prices of top 10 stocks from Nifty FMCG index has been taken for the 5-year period ranging from 1st October 2014 to 30th September 2019. Wald-Wolfowitz Run test has been used to test the haphazard movements in the stock price movements. The results indicated that FMCG sector stocks does support the Efficient Market Hypothesis and exhibit efficiency in its weak form. Hence, it is not possible to accurately predict the price movements of these stocks.

Stock Price Movements

Investors and analysts are unable to predict stock price movements consistently so as to beat the market in informationally efficient markets. Still, concerted efforts are being made to earn abnormal returns discerning some anomalous pattern in the stock price movements. Also, the study of some structural changes in the market leading to, or removing some anomalous pattern in the stock prices, are of interest to investors and analysts. The present study was conceptualised to scrutinise whether anomalous patterns yield abnormal return consistently for any specific day of the week even after introduction of the compulsory rolling settlement on Indian bourses. Three market series viz., BSE Sensex, S and P CNX Nifty and S and P CNX 500 were observed on daily basis for ten years viz., i) Pre-rolling settlement period, April 1997 - December, 2001 and ii) Post-rolling settlement period, January 2002 - March 2007 to discern evidences in this regard. Contrary to developed capital markets, the results reported in this study documented lowest (significant) Friday returns in the pre-rolling settlement period as credible evidence for the weekend effect. The findings recorded for post-rolling settlement period were in harmony with those obtained elsewhere in the sense that Friday returns were highest and those on Monday were the lowest. It implied that arbitrage opportunities existed (for different trade settlement cycle on two exchanges, BSE and NSE) have disappeared consequent to the rolling settlement. On the whole, the study noted stock markets moved more rationally and anomalous return pattern noticed earlier could not sustain, in the post rolling settlement period.

<em>CAPM has been used as a widely accepted model forstock valuation. According to CAPM, stock risks comprise of systematic and unsystematic risks. The latter is also called idiosyncratic risk. Since idiosyncratic riskis induced by firm-specific factors, it can be removed by forming portfolio. However, some empirical findings in various capital markets indicate that idiosyncratic risk cannot be completely eliminated. Thus, stock price movements may also be influenced by firm-specific factors. Volatility of stock price movements induced by firm- specific information are commonly called idiosyncratic volatility. The objective of this research is to provide evidence of the association between Board of Commissioners characteristics and idiosyncratic volatility in Indonesian capital market. More specifically, the characteristics include Board of Commissioners independence, size, gender diversity, busyness, and meeting frequency. Using sample of indonesian public firms in 2013-2017, regression analysis show that Board size and meeting frequency are inversely related with idiosyncratic volatility. However, Board independence, gender diversity, and busyness have no effect on idiosyncratic volatility. The practical implication of this study is that firms should establish Board of Commissioners with larger membership and urge Board of Commissioners to conduct more frequent meeting to discuss financial reporting-related issues.</em>
