FIN254 Project FAQs!

This post contains answers to the questions related to FIN254 Project that I receive from FIN254 students. I will continuously update this post until the project due date. So, please check this from time to time to be updated, in case you may have a similar query.

Q: Sir, in my ORIONINFU project there is no EPS in audited or unaudited earnings, there is only net profit for every period. So, how I am going to find out the EPS?

Ans: You can get latest number of shares and other information of a company directly from the DSE website. You may use the following link for Orion Infusion.

http://www.dse.com.bd/displayCompany.php?name=ORIONINFU

You may also view information of other listed companies by just replacing the stock ticker "ORIONINFU" by any other stock ticker after the equal sign (=) at the end of the above link.

Q: Sir, I didn’t understand this news “Khaleque Knitting & Garments Inds. (Pvt.) Ltd., one of the Corportate Sponsors of the company, has reported its intention to sell 15,00,000 shares out of its total holdings of 39,60,000 shares of the company at prevailing market price through Stock Exchange within next 30 working days.”

Ans: Apparently Khaleque Knitting is a name of a sponsor (corporate sponsor because it is a company, not a person) that contributed to the paid up capital of the company you are working on. Out of its total holdings (all the shares it owns) of 39.6 lac shares, it wants to sell 15 lac shares. As per regulation, before buying/selling shares a director/sponsor director must notify the regulator and the public of its intention.Q: In the Stock Quotes file, i don’t have the records at all for MEGHNACEM and SINGERBD. Apparently there are no records at all after "K". What should I do?

Ans: Please check the stock quote file carefully, it is probably not complete or you converted the file from xlsx (excel 2007) format to xls (excel 2003) format.

Q: In some cases Un-Audited half yearly, there is only Net Income figures stated w/out the EPS values given at all. Even when I went to DSE company listings on the website, there is no figures or tables for such information. Should I completely skip the part for that given period?

Ans: If you don't have eps figures for a period you can use the other eps declarations (previous or next) and find number of shares and adjust that numbered with right or stock dividend declared in between and calculate the eps by dividing net profit by number of shares.

Q: Is it possible to "Import News" or obtain the relevant information regarding News Reader at all? If so how?

Ans: Yes, you may import latest news to the offline news reader. You need to create a “news.txt” (a text file) file within the same folder and paste all the news (you may get it from DSE official website’s news archive section) you want to incorporate and press the “import news” button.

Q: Is news such as "no price limit on the trading of the shares on __date" price sensitive news"?

Ans: No, this is not a price sensitive news by itself! Such a news always accompanies a price sensitive news, especially a news with recommended corporate benefits.

Q: As u have shown on Sample of ABBANK file, should we comment for a few news dates collectively or each news date will have separate comments?

Ans: It depends! If you think analyzing multiple news would make more sense then you may do it, otherwise interpret them separately.

Q: Can u plz re-clarify "Instant Real Effect" and "Long term Real Effect"? when will instant effect be positive?

Ans: Instant real effect would be positive if you see price increase on the news day or the next day (because sometimes companies disclose the news after the trading hour, in that case, reaction for the news would be seen on the next day’s trading). Long term would be when price gradually increases over a period of time (it may be a month or more, if there is no other price sensitive news in that period).

Q: The Board of Directors of ICB has recommended cash dividend @ 14% for the shareholders of ICB for the year 2006-2007. Date of AGM: 30.10.07, Time: 11:00 AM, Venue: BIAM Auditorium, 63 New Eskaton, Dhaka. Book closure: 16.10.07 to 30.10.07.

Sir should i consider the cash dividend of 14% a poor dividend and right negative in the cell of possible impact?

Ans: Please look at the dividend payment history and compare with them. With relatively very high premium, right share declaration may be a bad news.

Q: Sir, is this a price sensitive “As per latest share demat status intimated by the company, 51.65% shares of general public has been demated up to 04.06.09. Considering this, trading of the shares of the company will resume today.”

Ans: It depends on the situation.. how long the share had been held up from trading... if it was for too long then short term effect may have negative impact on price as many would want to realize their money by selling their shares. Otherwise usually it is a good news that from now on shares of this company would be traded electronically, no longer paper-based, so many investors would be interested to invest... price may go up...

Q: Is the following news for right share declaration? If it is not then how will I understand which specific news is indicating the declaration of right shares?

“Following the change of the denomination of shares and market lot with effect from 25.07.07 (record date), the new face value of the share of the Bank will be Tk. 100.00 instead of Tk. 1000.00, market lot will be 50 shares instead of 5 shares and the new adjusted closing price of shares will be Tk. 382.50 per share.”

Ans: No, this is not a right share declaration. This is a share split news. The company has changed the denomination of it’s share’s face value from 1000 taka to 100 taka. After the mentioned record date, shareholders having 5 shares (with 1000 taka face value) would own 50 shares (with 100 taka face value). Usually share split news is considered a positive one.For right share news, the company would specifically mention they are issuing right shares. For example, look at EBL news on “02/04/2008” (initial recommendation) “18/11/2008” (approval news from SEC) for a 50% right share declaration at par. For another example, look at BRACBANK news on “29/01/2008” where they recommended both stock and right (20% right with 400 taka premium) in a single news.

Q: What does demat mean? Is it a positive news or a negative news for a company that intends to go for demat? 

Ans: Dematerialisation (Demat for short) is a term used for converting physical (paper-based) share certificates to a de-materialised or electronic form share. 

It is indeed a positive news for a company. For a paper-based share, an investor has to go through the name transfer procedure (which is a lengthy and painstaking process) to be eligible for the corporate benefits (cash or stock dividend or right share etc.) announced by the company. For a demat share (electronic share) investors do not need to go through such a procedure.

Q: Sir when the book closure date is given like 16/10/2007 to 30/10/2007 then which one should we use.

Ans: Please consider the starting date to be the record date. The term “Book Closure” is used for paper based shares whereas “Record Date” is used for electronic shares. Paper shares take more time than electronic shares because they update the registered shareholders list manually. That’s why you see a duration is given for paper-based shares instead of just one record date for electronic shares. Only shareholders whose names appear on the register after the book closure/ Record Date are eligible to attend in the AGM/ EGM and also to receive dividends & bonus shares and entitlement to right shares, if any.

Q: As per un-audited half yearly accounts as on 30.06.08, the Company has reported profit after tax of Tk. 38.80 m with EPS of Tk. 9.70 as against last years half yearly of Tk. 31.01 m and Tk. 7.75 respectively.  

Sir, the above mentions about an un-audited half yearly profit. Do we treat it as positive news? Is the treatment same as that of an audited profit?

Ans: Yes, this should be treated as a positive news because their half-yearly earnings increased by 25%.

You may also compare double of this (the projected EPS = 9.70 * 2 = Tk. 19.40 per share) with the audited yearly EPS they disclosed for the previous period in your analysis.

Q: Have you uploaded the selected lectures on resource drive?

Ans: Powerpoint slides of selected chapters are made available to the resource drive and you may also download them using the blog link.

Q: Though I have office 2007, I am not being able to open the Xl files.

Ans: I don't know why you are having problem with the project files. Make sure you have MS Excel 2007 installed in your computer. You may also try downloading the files again. If you still face the problem get the files from my office.

FIN254 Project for Summer 2009

The main purpose of this project is to analyze the impact of disclosed news on the price of a stock. The time period for the analysis is from January 2007 to June 2009. Sometimes you would see price moving positively (or negatively) with positive (or negative) news as expected. Some other times you would see price not moving as expected rather going to the opposite direction (or consolidating) because the news was probably out before it was disclosed. Carefully review such news impacts on the price movements of your stock and put your findings accordingly.

You must do this job using the format and guidelines prescribed in the word document file named “Project Instructions.doc” made available to help you complete the project. Three stocks have been assigned to each student and the assessment would be done for each student individually. If anyone of you don’t see your id in the assigned stock list, inform me immediately.

Please download all the resource files from the project folder available within the FIN254 folder link above. Same resource files are also available on the resource drive accessible from the on-campus computer labs.

Before you start the project work please open and verify all the resource files to check whether there is any problem opening/accessing them. You need to prepare three excel files (one per stock) for the project. Please review the sample file (Sample-ABBANK.xlsx) by checking each worksheet to understand the nature of the job you are assigned to do for the project. You need to prepare three such project files for the three assigned stocks.

Send the completed project files (three excel files, one for each stock assigned to you) as three attachments by the due date 25th of August, 2009 (Tuesday). That means you may send your completed project files earlier if you can finish early. Make sure to include your email address too, so that you have a copy of the sent email. Please refer to the guideline provided in the word document file for detailed format of your email to be sent to me.

Before sending me the email please recheck your data and files minutely. I won’t be able to accommodate your request of accepting a modified version next time. And please don’t send me multiple emails to make sure I get it!

Please wait at least one day for email acknowledgment from me as a confirmation of my receipt of your email. If you don’t receive my acknowledgment by one day then resend the email to me and notify my TA. Please keep checking your email frequently around that period because I will send you an email if I find significant problem in your work/files.

If you have any question then you may see me at my office during the office hours or send me an email or post it in my blog. Please READ all the instructions carefully before sending your project as email attachments. Check your work carefully before sending it to me. I would not be able to accept a modified version second time.

Thank you and wish you best of luck for the project.

A Request for Help!

A G4S security personnel, Mr. Ruhul Amin, has been suffering from acute financial distress. He lost his house and other valuable property due to Cyclone Sidr. Recently most of his family members got sick. He needs financial support.

I request you to extend monetary assistance to rescue him from this crisis. He is usually stationed at NAC Level 5.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.

Change in Academic Calendar!

Please find the revised class schedule available within the "Others" folder link above. Adjust your academic plan accordingly.

Assignments

Assignments are now available. Please check the course folder links above to download. The submission due dates are mentioned in the assignments.

These are home assignments and supposed to be done at home. So, I don’t want to see you doing the assignments in my class. Your assignments must have a cover page with your name, id, assignment number, course details, submission date, etc.

I prefer hand-written assignments. Computer composed assignments will also be accepted but make sure nobody else has access to your softcopy of the assignments. Let me remind you… copying somebody else’s assignment is a form of cheating and it may result a failing grade in your course.

Thanks.

Summer 2009

This is to welcome all my students to a new semester - Summer 2009. You may download course outlines, assignments, other resources using the links shown above under the heading "Summer 2009 Folders".

This semester is unique in many aspects. The most prominent one is that we have finally moved to our own permanent campus. We will be having our classes in this new campus for the first time. I remember when I was a student of NSU 14 years ago, I used to pay for the development of this campus. Although I am not a student here anymore, I feel a similar enthusiasm that you are feeling.

There will be a cake-cutting ceremony at the new Bashundhara campus on the 9th of June, 2009 (Tuesday) at 11 am to celebrate the first day of classes. You are all cordially invited to attend this auspicious event.

Please beware that the campus building is not 100% complete. So, you may face a lot of minor but solvable inconveniences. I would request you to be patient. Let us make the dawn of a new era pleasant and memorable. 

Please check my blog from time to time for announcements and updates. You may use any 'comments' link found at the end of each post on this page to leave a comment, ask me a question, or share any academic or non-academic issue. If it is unique/personal in nature, please provide your email address so that I can contact you and give you a feedback. Otherwise, you may leave an anonymous comment.

For extra credit, please read the course outline (full version) thoroughly. Follow the instructions, given in the course outline, carefully to send the filled up student profile excel file. You may download the student profile using respective course folder link above.

I wish you all the very best for the semester. Thanks.

Advising

As decided by the NSU Authority the Advising for Summer 2009 will resume on the 24th of May and continue till 26th. All students are advised to participate accordingly. For more specific information please check NSU official website.

-------------------- previous post -------------------------

Passwords for advising may be collected from day after tomorrow. A new advising schedule will be published. Those of you who already went through the advising process do not need to get advised again.

-------------------- previous post -------------------------

I am receiving a lot of emails regarding advising status from students. I don't think advising will be cancelled. You know such decisions come from the top. As far as I know there will be a high-level meeting today and some important decisions will be made there regarding advising, convocation, moving to the new campus, commencement of classes etc. I will publish the decisions when I am informed. So you may check my blog and NSU website from time to time for latest status.

Online advising facility is available. You may collect your password from IS dept if you haven't done it yet. IS dept will remain open although NSU is declared closed for 2 days from today. You may do your own advising at your advising time-slot from home/cyber-cafe. If you have problem with retaking a course or prerequisite, you may resolve that problem from the BBA Dept once university is open.

I am very thankful to them who emailed me to know about my wellbeing. I am doing alright. What happened yesterday at NSU was something that had never happened before in 18 years of NSU history. It was really a disgraceful and shameful event. The atrocities they showed by vandalizing, assaulting teachers and fellow students, and most heinous attacks on and around the office of our honorable VC sir, just stunned me! It was utterly unbelievable. Such an act is outright unacceptable from the students we teach in the hope of instilling better human nature in them and make them future leaders of our nation.

Students have every right to protest for their rights. But they should do it peacefully. They don't have any right to force other students not to get advised or harass after advising! Anyway, I don't want to get into any arguments here. I am also an NSU alumni. After all it is OUR institution. What WE do here reflects US in the community where we live in. Such events will definitely have consequences when you graduate from here in future. You should preserve the reputation of NSU by all means for your own sake.

Thanks.

Grades Ready!

Grades have been submitted to the department and also into the online database. Please contact the BBA department or the Registrar's office for your grade. You may email me to know unofficial grade. For detailed marks, please follow the previous post.

It's been a pleasant semester with you. Hope you feel the same. Enjoy the holidays.

An Income Opportunity...

Those of you who are interested to earn extra pocket money during this semester break, you may avail this opportunity. If you can arrange a buyer for a new car, you may earn a commission ranging from 10,000 taka to 20,000 taka per sold car! If you are intereseted then contact me (email me or post a comment providing your contact info) for more details.

Thanks.

FIN254 Project FAQs

I received a considerable number of queries regarding the project in the past few days. I am posting some of them with answers in the following in case you have similar queries… And please read these first before asking me a question.

Q: Sir, you said that for all the shares the investment period should be 10 years but some shares ‘(janata insurance etc.) Closing date is October 30 2008 instead of December 30th. So in the auto calculation worksheet the investment period is shown 9.8 years. Should I leave it like that or manually change the investment period to 10.

Ans: Please search for the price data using both full name of the company (in some cases also look for a changed name for a company, especially when you see price data missing for a period) and ticker (the abbreviated form which is used in DSE website to quote a price) of that company. In your case, you probably did not search price data using the ticker of the company, which is ‘JANATAINS’.

Q: Sir, I am facing problem regarding the findings part. Can you send a sample please?

Ans: There is no such sample. This is a subjective part of your project. You are independent to discuss about your findings in any way you feel appropriate. This is your own findings. Use your imagination, please!!! 

Here is a guideline… You may talk about your investments in five companies. Compare the performances of the companies you invested in. Tell me which companies gave you better returns and what may be reasons (probably they gave higher dividend regularly etc.) and which companies could not give a decent return and why (may be they were irregular in their dividend payments or they never gave any dividends at all etc). What may be your recommendation (choosing a right company for investment) to a new investor in the capital market based on your findings and learning from this project?

Q: I honestly do not know what cumulative return or average periodic return say about a particular share. Could you please help me?

Ans: Let me use the example (Al Arafa Bank) I provided you as a sample. The cumulative return was 1944.38%. It means your investment grew nearly 2000 percent or 20 times in the past 10 years, indicating one taka of your investment grew to twenty taka in 10 years! Similarly periodic return of 194.44% means, nearly 200 percent or 2 times average growth every year!

Q: Sir, I am not sure about the DAD PART OF the dividend information regarding the year 1999 and 2000. How can I provide the exact date for these two years?

Ans: Unfortunately, the DADs (dividend announcement or declaration dates) for 99 and 2000 are not available. That's why we need to estimate those dates based on 2001 and 2002 DADs by taking the average of them. 

Q: All the price data follows month/date/year format, right? but DSE Monthly Review listed the last AGM as Date/month/year. We have to change only this date right?

Ans: When you insert a date in excel, instead of writing the date with slash sign (for example, 12/02/08) right in full format (for example, 12 feb 08), excel will take care of the rest.

Q: Sir, I am facing a problem regarding project. One of my assigned share is BIFC (Bangladesh Industrial Fin. com. Ltd.). The problem is in resource "02_DSE Monthly review dec2008", BIFC is not there. So how I will fill up "Basic" in Excel template?

Ans: It's there! It's BD. Industrial Finance Co under 'BANKS' sector. Please put a little more effort!!!

Q: Sir, I would like you to send me the files containing Company Monthly Review and Company Web Site 1 jan 2009. These two particular files which you have provided in the resource are not opening thus causing delaying in processing the project progress.

Ans: I think there is no problem in those files. These two particular files are in 'RAR' format, a compressed file format. You need to ‘un-rar’ them before you can use the files. For that you need to use RAR type of software (for example, winrar) which is freely available online. Use that software to open them and use the files. I have added a ‘winrar’ software free version in the resources (both lab and online) for your convenience.

Q: I am not sure of the term 1B:5 of B/R column. Will you please explain it sir?

Ans: 1B:5 means 1 bonus share against 5 shares which is equivalent to 20% bonus share. Similarly 1B:2 would mean 50% bonus share.

Q: Sir, if 1B:5 is 20% bonus issue. Then how do we calculate the bonus % for 1B:7 and 1B:14? The percentages are in decimals; however when the value is filled in the dividend cell it is automatically converted to a whole number, for e.g it changes from 14.28% to14%. Is this correct?

Ans: You are correct. 1B:7 and 1B:14 are equivalent to 14.29% and 7.14%. Don't bother about the auto-rounding. Formula will take decimals into consideration.

Q: I have problem in BIFC which has no dividends. In analysis it shows invalid & has no first issue price. Where do I put the beginning value? 

Ans: Please look at the dividend file carefully. BIFC announced following dividends

Cash Dividend of 15% on 15-04-07 and
Cash 10% & Stock 10%B on 09.04.2008.

Moreover, BIFC was listed with DSE in November 2006. So, you will not get any trading information before that. In the trading data table you will have no values from 1999 to 2005. Use "15-Nov-08" (as it is the first trading day for BIFC) closing price which is 189.75 (you can get it from price data excel file). Then put the other closing price values under that accordingly.

For the Auto-Calculation worksheet: As this stock started trading from 2006, you need to put the initial investment amount of 1,00,000 in 2006 (Cell No. B11), not earlier. Hope you will be able to get this right. 

Q: Sir, if the 3rd month from the cash dividend declared date is after Dec 2008 then what I should do as price data is not available after 2008 and that is beyond the investment period.

Ans: You may leave it blank if the DAD is in December 2008. Otherwise, you may use 30-December-2008 (or last trading date of December 2008) data as the 3RD Month data. Please DO NOT assign zero, because it would be a wrong information and would be a problem for auto-calculation.

Q: Sir, I am having some problem with the project. For Desh Garments last CP given is of 14-12-02. Should I take it as the end CP of DEC 2002?

Ans: Yes, you are correct. End of Dec closing price of a script in any year does not necessarily mean trading on the last day of December of that year. Your project requires you to pick the last closing price in a particular year. If a particular script was last traded on the 14th of Dec in 2002, then let it be. Use that to be the Year-end closing price. You may even find a script which was not at all traded in the month of December. In that case, the Year-end closing price might be the closing price of last trading day, even if it was in Nov or earlier. 

Q: Sir, Do I include D.A.D(9/17/2001), Cash (0), 3RDM(Dec)? 

Ans: For a zero/nil cash dividend, you don't need to put close price of the 3rd month. 

Q: Sir, I have seen the company listing information of UCBL on the DSE Website and it shows that they have declared a 30% Bonus issue for 2001 but I cannot find the declare date any where for it. So, I could not include the 30% bonus issue in the excel file for UCBL without that date.

Ans: The declaration date is right there in the dividend file! It's 30%B (2001) announcement date 05.08.2007. I don't know why/how you missed it! Announcement date is not important in case of stock dividend for our project. However, it's important for cash dividend.

Q: Are we just required to comment on the cumm. and average return for the various companies in the word file? Do I mail you both the excel and the word file (softcopies) only?

Ans: Exactly! You are required to discuss the findings and compare stock performances in the word file. You should email me six files: five excel files (one for each stock) and one word file with the discussion.

Q: What do "1B:4,1R:2", "5%(1B:20)" and "35%B,1R:2" mean? I know what individually 1B:4 means and what 30%B means, but i don't know what the "R" term means and how to interpret them together.

Ans: They mean the same thing together. For example, "1B:4,1R:2" means 1 bonus share against 4 shares (or 25% bonus share) and 1 right share for 2 shares (or 50% right share). When the companies announce this type of declaration, they also announce different record dates for bonus and right shares to be effective. To learn more you may browse through the news section of DSE website.

Q: What do you think about my stock .........? I am having this type of problem with it? What to do with it?

Ans: Please don't use the blog to ask me specific share related problem. In that case, email me directly. It's not practical to post solutions to hundreds of such individual stock related problems here. Hope you would understand. Thank you.

Same resource files are also available on the resource drive accessible from the on-campus computer labs. Please follow the instructions available in a word document available along with the resource files. 

Send the completed project files (six files in total: five excel files for five assigned instruments and one word document file for the short report with your findings) to both of my email addresses (To: imran.edu@gmail.com, imran@northsouth.edu) as six attachments by the due date 19th of April, 2009 (Sunday). That means you may send your completed project earlier if you can finish early.

You should use the following format for the subject of your email (FIN254 Project 091; your name; id; section). Before sending me the email please recheck your data and files minutely. I won’t be able to accommodate your request of accepting a modified version next time. And please don’t send me multiple emails to make sure I get it!

Please wait at least one day for email acknowledgment from me as a confirmation of my receipt of your email. If you don’t receive my acknowledgment by one day then resend the email to me and notify my TA. Please keep checking your email frequently around that period because I will send you an email if I find significant problem in your work/files.

If you have any question then you may see me at my office or send me an email or post it in my blog. Please READ the above instructions carefully before sending your project as email attachments. Check your work carefully before sending it to me. I would not be able to accept a modified version second time.  

Thank you and wish you best of luck for the project.
