What is fundamental analysis?

Fundamental analysis is the process of evaluating a company's financial health to determine its investment potential. It involves analyzing a company's financial statements, such as its income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, to assess its profitability, liquidity, and solvency.

Fundamental analysts believe that a company's financial performance is a good indicator of its future prospects. By understanding a company's financial health, investors can make informed decisions about whether or not to invest in the company.

Why is fundamental analysis important?

Fundamental analysis is important because it helps investors make informed investment decisions. By understanding a company's financial health, investors can identify companies that are likely to perform well in the future and avoid companies that are likely to perform poorly.

Fundamental analysis can also help investors value companies. By comparing a company's financial performance to that of its peers, investors can determine whether the company is fairly valued, undervalued, or overvalued.

How to do fundamental analysis

There are a number of steps involved in fundamental analysis. These steps include:

1. Understanding financial accounting. The first step to fundamental analysis is to understand financial accounting. This involves understanding the different types of financial statements and how they are prepared.
2. Analyzing financial statements. Once you understand financial accounting, you can begin analyzing financial statements. This involves reading and interpreting income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements.

• Gross profit margin
• Operating profit margin
• Net profit margin
• Return on equity
• Return on assets
• Debt-to-equity ratio
• Current ratio
• Quick ratio
