Pair Strategy Report

Fortune
Strategy (Sell HDFCB IN and Sell Buy IDBI IN) We recommend a SELL on HDFCB IN and BUY on IDBI IN at the price ratio range of 17.800 to 18.000 at neutral exposure levels. The first target price ratio will be 17.1, which will give a return of 2.4% on gross total exposure. Second price target ratio will be 16.300, which will give a return of 5% on gross exposure. We recommend maintaining a stop loss of 18.200 for the cash price ratio. One should initiate a value neutral strategy by selling minimum 10 lot of HDFCB IN and buying 11 lot of IDBI IN or in the multiples of that. Strategy Rationale As seen in the below charts the price ratio of HDFCB IN- IDBI IN (HDFCB IN / IDBI IN) has touched the moving upper 3-sigma level of 1.550 (Chart 1). It is currently trading at a ratio of 17.890 and is likely to top out. Historically also this price ratio has declined after hitting upper 3sigma level (Chart 1). The one month price correlation of these stocks is at 0.03, while the one year price correlation is at 70, which is likely to retract. The two year Price correlation of the pair is 80. Historically, whenever one month price correlation catapults to current levels, the ratio drifts back. Chart I: Moving Price Ratio (HDFCB IN / IDBI IN)
