Definition of Quarterly Results
Quarterly Results refer to the financial statements released by publicly listed companies every three months, covering a specific quarter of the fiscal year. These reports include income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, and key metrics like revenue, net profit, earnings per share (EPS), expenses, etc. They offer investors and analysts a snapshot of operational performance, growth trends, and future guidance, enabling better assessment of the company’s financial health and strategic direction compared to annual reports.

Dividend Payout Ratio
The Dividend Payout Ratio refers to dividends paid to shareholders as a percentage of the net income or Earnings Per Share (EPS) of a company. The formula to calculate dividend payout ratio is:
DPR = Dividend / Net income
or
DPR = Dividend / Earnings Per Share
A higher dividend payout ratio means that a company is redistributing a chunk of its profits to shareholders, which generally implies that the company is well-established.

Exponential Moving Average
Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is a technical indicator used to follow price trends over a specific period of time. EMA assigns more weight to recent prices than older prices. The formula to calculate EMA is:
Exponential Moving Average = (K x (CP - PP)) + PP
C: Current Price of stock, currency, commodity, etc. P: The EMA of preceding periods K: Exponential smoothing constant
A Simple Moving Average (SMA) is used to calculate the value of the first period. Furthermore, the EMA can be used to identify support and resistance areas. However, it may not be optimal for identifying precise entry and exit points.

Capital Gains Exemption
Capital gains exemption is the tax break that a government offers on profits earned by selling assets. Generally, an investor must pay a tax on the short-term capital gains or long-term capital gains earned.
But in certain cases, the government allows investors to offset taxes. For example, if an investor sells property and reinvests the entire amount back again into another property, they can avail of capital gains exemption.

Forex Options
Forex options are exchange-traded derivative contracts that give the right but not the obligation to buy or sell a pair of underlying currencies at a pre-agreed price and date. Forex options are also known as currency options.
Every forex option can be split into a call or put option. A forex call option gives the holder the right to buy underlying forex pairs while a forex put option gives the holder the right to sell underlying currency pairs.
In either case, there is no obligation to exercise the contract but there is a pre-agreed price and expiration date attached. In India, forex options are only available for the USD-INR currency pair.
