A Comparative Study on Relation Between ROE and Standard Deviation of Public Sector Company National Stock Exchange

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between Return on Equity (ROE) and Standard Deviation (SD) of public sector companies listed on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). ROE serves as a measure of profitability, reflecting a company's ability to generate earnings from shareholders' equity, while SD represents the volatility or risk associated with the stock returns of a company. Understanding the interplay between these two metrics is crucial for investors seeking to optimize their investment portfolios by balancing risk and return. Over a five-year period, this comparative study analyzes the ROE and SD of public sector companies on the NSE, aiming to uncover any significant correlations between these metrics. By conducting statistical analysis, including correlation and regression analysis, we seek to identify patterns and trends that can provide valuable insights into the financial performance and risk profiles of public sector companies. The study is motivated by the need to offer empirical evidence and insights that can assist investors in making informed decisions regarding their investments in public sector companies on the NSE. By examining the relationship between ROE and SD, we aim to provide investors with a deeper understanding of the risk-return trade off inherent in these companies, thus enabling them to better manage their investment strategies and portfolios. Through the findings of this study, investors can gain insights into the financial health and risk characteristics of public sector companies on the NSE, facilitating more informed investment decisions. Additionally, the study contributes to the existing body of research on financial performance and risk management in the context of government-owned enterprises, offering valuable implications for both investors and policymakers.
