Earlier, Dr. Pradipta Patra, Assistant Professor in Decision Sciences and Chairperson Programmes, IIM Sirmaur welcomed Dr Singh and emphasised on the significance of such sessions and its high relevance due to the stock market crash during the Covid-19 outbreak. The session explored the road mostly not taken to understand the Financial Analyst's Recommendations prior to a Firm Specific Stock Price Crash. Dr. Singh sensitised the realm of extensive research methodologies and their surprising observations on the topic including some very important statistical methods to analyse stock price volatility. His talk had a tinge of behavioural finance as well, which changed the audience way of perceiving stock price movements. Towards the end of webinar, he also addressed the most concerning doubts of the students regarding the role of Financial Analyst and encouraged the students to pursue their own analysis and master the skill.
