Fundamental analysis

Fundamental analysis Study and evaluation of a company's earnings data

The goal of fundamental analysis is to determine a fair price for a company's stock by studying how key company data develops over time. The analysis is divided into two parts: diagnosis and prognosis. Data from the income statement and the balance sheet are analysed and set in relation to the price of the stock. The price-earnings ratio is one of the indicators utilised in fundamental analysis.
