Using monthly and quarterly data, average return is used as a measure of performance while standard deviation serves as a proxy for risk. The findings indicate divergent behavior between the two companies: TATA Motors demonstrated higher returns with increased risk and a strong negative correlation with the market, while ITC Ltd. showed relatively stable, market-aligned movements. The analysis offers insights into the strategic placement of these stocks for investors with varying risk appetites and objectives.
