Abstract

This study analyses the return, risk, and Sharpe Ratio of selected stocks from three major sectors of the Indian economy — Information Technology (IT), Pharmaceuticals, and Oil & Gas — over the period 2015 to 2024. Using annual data, the research evaluates the performance of Infosys, TCS, Nifty IT; Dr. Reddy, Sun Pharma, Nifty Pharma; and Reliance Ltd, Indian Oil, Nifty Oil & Gas. The Sharpe Ratio is employed to measure risk-adjusted returns, considering a risk-free rate of 6%. Among IT stocks, TCS showed the highest Sharpe Ratio (0.53), indicating better efficiency. In the pharmaceutical sector, Sun Pharma outperformed others with a Sharpe Ratio of 0.28. Reliance Ltd led the Oil & Gas sector with the highest Sharpe Ratio (0.99), highlighting its strong return for the level of risk taken. The findings suggest sectoral differences in return-risk efficiency. This analysis aids investors in identifying stocks that offer optimal returns per unit of risk.
