📄 Abstract
This study investigates and compares the risk-return profiles of two prominent Indian companies: TATA Motors and ITC Ltd. in relation to the broader market, represented by the BSE Sensex, over the period from January 1, 2024, to March 28, 2024. 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.
