This article examines the stock-price behavior of five selected blue-chip companies listed on the National Stock Exchange of India: TCS, Reliance, ITC, ONGC, and HDFC. Using five years of secondary data, the study applies mean, standard deviation, and trend analysis to compare average price level, volatility, and directional movement among the selected firms. The reported results show that TCS had the highest mean value in 2014, HDFC led from 2015 to 2018, and ONGC generally recorded the lowest mean values during the study period. The standard deviation findings indicate comparatively higher volatility for ONGC in most years, while trend analysis suggests upward movement for TCS, Reliance, ITC, and HDFC, and a downward movement for ONGC.
