IMPORTANCE OF FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS WHILE CREATING LONG TERM PORTFOLIO

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?
