A Study on analysis of stocks with special reference to ICICI, Axis Bank, Bajaj Finserv, Motilal Oswal at Sampadha Research and Financial Consultancy

Abstract

The stock market plays a significant role in the economic development of a country by providing investment opportunities and facilitating capital formation. Equity investment has become one of the most preferred investment avenues for investors seeking long-term wealth creation. The present study analyses the equity share performance of ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Motilal Oswal Financial Services and Bajaj Finserv during the period from January 2026 to June 2026. The study is based on secondary data collected from reliable sources such as NSE, BSE, Moneycontrol and company annual reports. Statistical tools such as Rate of Return, Percentage Change, Mean, Standard Deviation, Sharpe Ratio, Correlation Analysis and Regression Analysis have been used to evaluate the risk and return characteristics of the selected companies. The findings reveal that although the selected companies experienced short-term fluctuations, they maintained satisfactory overall performance during the study period. The study concludes that investment in fundamentally strong financial service companies offers good long-term investment opportunities despite market volatility.
