In my previous article, “Top value stocks in Indian markets” we discussed the relationship between P/E ratio and P/BV ratio. These two parameters can help an investor to identify “growth” and “value” stocks in the market. Growth stocks usually have high P/E and P/BV ratios, which means that these stocks are relatively high-priced in comparison with the companies’ net asset values. In contrast, value stocks have relatively low P/E and P/BV ratios. Most growth investors are willing to pay a fairly high price for a stock whose earnings they expect to go up higher. Value investors (Rakesh Jhunjhunwala for example) view cheapness as a major factor. They focus on stocks that are relatively cheaper.
Aditya Birla Nuvo and Kirloskar Oil Engines can be classified as “growth” stocks whereas Patni Computer Services and Jindal Saw can be classified as “value” stocks.
