Fundamental Analysis is a process of analyzing a stock to determine its intrinsic value (the fair price of a stock) by evaluating relevant economic, financial, non-financial, and other quantitative and qualitative factors.
In simple words, fundamental analysis helps to evaluate the health and the performance of any company. It tries to give you the following answers:
- Is the company’s experiencing a rising revenue?
- Does the company make an actual profit?
- Can it beat its competitors in the future?
Let us understand the need to learn fundamental analysis with the help of an example.

Which stock would you prefer for investment? Many of us will choose Tata Motors as we hear this brand every day. Your decision of selecting a stock will be emotional. But if you know how to fundamental analysis, then your opinion of investing would be different.
