VALIDITY OF CAPM 0N SUGAR SECTOR COMPANIES LISTED KSE


4.1 ANALYSIS OF THE DATA:
            The analysis of my project based on quarterly and yearly average returns, computed by the stock prices of a five sample companies listed in Karachi Stock Exchange. The study revealed the variations between actual return and CAPM return and it also investigated the Question about the validity of CAP model. The actual return calculated by using the following formula.


Actual Return
R = (S1-So)/So                                                              (eq-1)
Where
R = Actual Return
S1 = closing share price at the end of each quarter from Jan, 2007 to Dec, 2011
 So = opening share price at the beginning of each quarter from Jan, 2007 to Dec, 2011

Market Return
The Market Return is calculated by applying the same formula,  RM = (S1-So)/So
Here
RM = Market Return based on Kse-100 index  
S1 = closing value of kse-100 index at each quarter covering periods Jan, 2007 to Dec, 2011 
So = opening value of kse-100 index at each quarter covering periods Jan, 2007 to Dec, 2011 

CAPM Return:
The CAPM return (required return) is calculated by using the following formula. First I calculated the variables Of CAP model in the following manner.

Required Return = RF + B (RM-RF)                                                              (eq-2)
Where
RF = T-Bill Quarterly rate used as a risk-free rate

BETA (B) = Beta Calculated by Applying the slope Formula in Excel, slope between the Actual return and Required Return which shown in the finding Section and whole results appear in Appendix. Beta determines the market Risk which can’t be diversified by making a portfolio of security because it is a systematic risk, which changes the behavior with market. The Beta in my study stated the sensitivity of actual returns with the market returns (KSE-100 index). Alternative method of Beta calculation also elaborates on the next page.

Beta (B)          =          Covim/ Varm                                                                (eq-3)
Where:
Covi,m  =          Covariance between security i and stock market index.
Rm       =          Return of stock market index.
Av.Rm =          Average Return of stock market index.
RI         =          Return of individual security i
Av.Ri   =          Average Return of individual security i
Varm    =          Variance of stock market index         
The covariance used in the above equation is computed by the following formula.
 Covim =          1/n ∑(Rm - Av.Rm)*(Ri - Av.Ri)                                                                 (eq-4)

The covariance of market and individual stock is calculated by applying the formula of covariance in excels between the calculated actual return and required return by (CAPM).
The next pages contain all the results by using excel.

4.2 INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS:
Findings of the study suggest that the CAPM return (required return) is not match the actual return of the stocks as shown in table 1. The performance of the CAP model always be a questioned mark, however, during the analysis CAP model most of the time required return underperformed or over-performed from the actual return as shown in the following table.
                                                           
TABLE-1
(Comparison of Actual return and CAPM return with respect to BETA)
From the above table, the Al-Abass sugar stock Actual return is higher in year 2008 and 2009 than the required return, based on CAPM while in 2007, 2010 and 2011 the actual return is lesser than the required return which clearly  shows that the CAPM return are not up to mark. So the investor decision based on CAP model may be misleading due to high difference exists between CAPM return and the actual return.  
With respect to the returns of Mehran sugar during the period from 2007 to 2011 as shown in Table - 1, the CAPM return has underperformed (less) twice while CAPM return has overperformed (greater) three times which results in variations between the CAPM return and actual return. So the validity does not hold in the mehran sugar stock and the investor estimation of return with the CAPM not up to the mark.       
From the table-1 the Habib sugar stock actual return not similar to the CAPM required return, the results indicates that CAPM return during 2008 and in 2010 overperformed (greater) from the actual return while in 2007 , 2009 and 2010 CAPM return underperformed (less) than the actual return. Furthermore, the performances of CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model) are explained in Table-2 with the remaining firms.
                                                            TABLE -2
(Comparison of Actual return and CAPM return with respect to BETA)

The Table-2 showing the result of CAPM required return and actual return of the two firms covering period from 2007 to 2011 namely; Al-Noor Sugar Mill and Mirpurkhas Sugar Mill, the performance of the CAPM are not up to the mark and the differences in returns are -16.2% (minimum) to 16.11% (maximum). In Al-Noor Sugar Mill, during 2007 to 2008 the CAPM required return overperformed than actual return and in 2009 to 2011 the CAPM required return underperformed than the actual return. In Mirpurkhas Sugar Mill, the CAPM required return are greater than actual return result in CAP model overperformed from the actual return during 2007 to 2011. So the investor will be misguided by using CAP model for the investment decision particularly in sugar sector stock listed in KSE-100 index.


4.3 GRAPIHCAL ILLUSTRATION:  

            GRAPH - 1                          

Key Findings:
In the above graph the actual return is higher in the 2008 (13.87%) and in 2009 (6.76%) than CAPM required return in 2008 (4.52%) and (0.23%) while in 2007, 2010 and in 2011 actual return is lower than the CAPM required return and only in the year 2011 the difference between actual return and required CAPM return is very low. So the results concludes that the overall CAPM required return are not up to the mark with actual return and CAPM validity has

does not exits in AL-ABASS sugar company and the investor can’t predict the closest expected return by using the CAP model.  


GRAPH - 2

Key Findings:
From the above graph, the actual return is higher in 2008 (19.65%), 2009 (23.72%) than the CAP model required return while in the year 2007, 2010 and 2011 the actual return is lower than the CAP model required return as shown in the above graph. The difference between the actual return and the CAP model return is lower in 2011 while in 2008 to 2010 the difference is higher between actual return and CAPM required return. So the CAPM validity does only hold in 2011 and the overall CAPM validity does not hold and the investor can’t predict the stock return with the Capital Asset Pricing Model.
                                                           


GRAPH-3

Key Findings:
In Habib Sugar Mill, the above graph shows that the actual return is higher in 2007 (19.54%), 2009(8.99%) and 2011(7.86%) while in 2008 and 2010 the actual return is lower than CAPM return. The difference in actual return and CAPM return is lower only in 2010 which shows to  some extent CAPM model predict the stock return during 2010. However the overall validity of CAPM during 2007-2011 does not hold to predict the stock return of Habib Sugar.   


GRAPH-4

Key Findings:
In Al-Noor Sugar Mill, the above graph shows that the actual return is higher in 2009 (13.39%), 2010(17.48%) and 2011(3.62%) while in 2007(7.19%) and 2008(-5.33%) the actual return is lower than CAPM return. The difference in actual return and CAPM return is lower only in 2011 which shows to a some extent CAPM model predict the stock return during 2011. However the overall validity of CAPM during 2007-2011 does not hold to predict the stock return of AL-Noor Sugar.   








GRAPH-5



Key Findings:
From the above graph, the actual return is lower than the CAPM required return during the period 2007-2011.  The difference between the actual return and the CAP model return is much higher in 2008, 2009 and 2010 while in 2007 and 2011 the difference is lower between actual return and CAPM required return. So the CAPM validity does only hold in 2007 and 2011 not exactly but up to a some extent. However, the overall CAPM validity does not hold and the investor can’t predict the stock return with the Capital Asset Pricing Model.












MANAGEMENT REPORT

The primary objective of the research is to testing the validity of CAP model in predicting stock returns of the companies listed in KSE-100 index, specifically in sugar sector. Data is collected from the official website of Karachi Stock Exchange (www.kse.com.pk). The sample size of the study is five (5) companies taken by simple random sampling technique from total companies listed in sugar sector of KSE. The analysis is based on the quarterly data covering the periods of five year from Jan, 2007 to Dec, 2008.  The actual returns of each company calculated from the only shares price dividends are not considered. The findings suggests that the difference between the actual return and CAPM required return are some time higher in certain years while in another years difference is lower. Difference is ranging from minus 18.06%  to positive 19.20%, results in greater variations between returns that causes the CAPM applications does not hold when applying on KSE, sugar sector. The causes of variations between the actual return and CAPM return is the BETA, as it covers all the risk factors that effects on the stock prices. But it is not the true because every factor has the own risks. So, I conclude that the finding of CAPM required return with only one BETA is impossible and it never matches the actual return, not only in case of Pakistan (KSE) and also in other countries the validity does not hold as I elaborated in literature Review.
