Abstract

Plantation sector plays a vital role in Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) in Sri Lanka. This study constructed a Plantation Sector Index (PSI) for comparing the performance of the sector during war and post-war periods. Results indicated a significant decline in PSI during war period and a growth in post-war period. Further, the comparison of PSI with All Share Price Index (ASPI) of CSE showed PSI's defensive stock behaviour during the two periods. Finally, the study employed best-fitted ARIMA (1,1,0) model and seasonal ARIMA (0,1,1) × (0,1,1)30 model of post-war period to forecast PSI compared to Holt-Winters method. Holt-Winters method provided a significantly best prediction for PSI during post-war period with the level (α = 0.2), trend (β = 0.2) and the seasonal (γ = 0.2) components under 95% confidence interval. Therefore, PSI would be recommended for financial analyses, and investment decision making in plantation sector.
