How to get free annual reports of Indian Listed Companies

If you get interested in a company and you read the annual report, you will have done more than 98% of the people on Wall Street. And if you read the footnotes in the annual report you will have done more than 100% of the people on Wall Street.
- By Lessons from Jim Rogers and Warren Buffett

Recently the official websites of the stock exchanges have started providing the soft-copy of the annual reports for downloads. As the same has begun from this year itself, thus not all the annual reports are available on the websites, but the same is expected to be made available for most of the companies as the time elapses. At present the annual reports are available for about 30% of the companies.

The complicated way:

1) Using BSEINDIA website: Search for the stock on Bse India >> Select Annual Reports from bottom right corner (where the snapshot of financials is given) >> Select your annual report.

2) Using NSEINDIA website: Search for the stock on Nse India >> Select Annual Reports from extreme bottom of the page >> Select your annual report.

The Easier Way:

Use Dalal-Street Reporter at: http://reports.dalal-street.in

To make it easy for you we have set up a small application which searches for the annual reports both at BSE India and NSE India as well as other sources and provide the download link :) . Also, the search feature on both the above sites (BSE and NSE) is too buggy; to solve the same you can search for any part of the name OR even the script code (eg. 532701 for BSE Listed Company or MANGCHEFER for NSE Listed Company) on Dalal-Street Reporter.

Do share any other site if any which provides free annual reports through comments. Also please leave your feedback for Dalal-Street Reporter or any queries through comments.

Free Stock Screeners for Indian Stocks

Stock Screeners are tools to help us find the stocks based on performance. Though we recently said that we were yet to have a good professional stock screener, we were able to find many. In fact, we were unaware that even BSE had its own little stock screener. Here we compare and review the free stock screeners for Indian stocks.

5) BSE India – Stock Scanner

bsescreener

BSE India provides a small screener to find stocks based on the group, P/E ratio, EPS, LTP and Market Cap. The results are most up-to-date and accurate, however the options are limited.

Google Finance – The best stock summarizer

There are many sites which provide the stock summary of India stocks on one page including Money Control, Rediff Money Wiz, Sify Finance, Yahoo! Finance etc. However, Google Finance is what we liked the most, and potentially the best stock screener in making. For financials, economic times remains the best.

Compare:

compare

This is one feature that separates Google Finance from all others. The price charts are very quick providing data for even 10 years (or more). These can be used to compare the prices of your favourite stocks with other stocks or even with the various Sensex. The carts also show the Dividends, splits, bonuses and other announcements in the timeline.

Awesome BSEXL – One Excel sheet for everything

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” – Bruce Lee

awesome bse

Excel is one tool which we all have used more times than the calculators itself. Then why not get all the data of the companies on an excel sheet ? Awesome BSEXL is an attempt towards that.

Awesome BSEXL is not any hard-to-understand software, but just an excel workbook with the data of currently 1500 BSE listed companies on one sheet. It is like the regular columns found in the newspapers or the Capital Market magazine. However, we have tried to include many other details into it, including following:

  • Script Code and Script Name
  • Last Trade Price
  • Book Value
  • P/E ratio
  • Discount (Book Value – LTP)
  • Sales of last four quarters
  • Profits of last four quarters
  • Sales of past three years
  • Profits of past three years

Using excel filters and advanced filters, you can create queries as you like and make the reverse processing possible (search companies which perform as YOU want them to perform).

We have included the basic advanced filter by default (you can learn more about it at Microsoft site). Thus your capabilities are unlimited.

The data currently in the sheet is only for past 3 years (however you can get data about the companies for more than 10 years here manually). Your comments are more than welcome for future developments.

10 (or even more) Years financial data of Indian companies

If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians. – Warren Buffett

BSE India and other sites including Money Control, all provide the financial data of maximum 5 years. So what to do if you want the data of more than 5 years ? Economic Times provides the solution.

2009-05-09_144256

Economic Times uses multiple databases and provides the financial data even for more than ten years. The comparative data however only for the P&L Account and Balance Sheet. Same feature is not available for Quarterly results.

Also, I wish if they had a feature to export this data into excel automatically. Apart from this, the service is quite useful, flexible and easy.

Do share other sites (if any) that provide the long historical financial data for free in comments.
