FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS
Equity shares have an economic worth which is based on existing and expected
earnings capacity.
Fundamental analysis attempts to find out the fair value or intrinsic value of
securities so that the investors can decide to buy or not to buy the securities at the
current market price.
The basic premise is that in the long run, the market price tends to move towards its
fair or intrinsic value.
Small investors sometimes take narrow approach to fundamental analysis which is
called bottom-up-approach.
However, a broader framework for fundamental analysis is known as ‘topdown-
approach’ or Economic-Industry-Company (EIC) Approach.
Fundamental Analysis is based on the theory that the market price of an asset
tends to move towards its 'real value' or 'intrinsic value’.
Investor can look for information about the economy, industry and the company
so that he can find a right security to invest in.
The ultimate aim of doing fundamental analysis is to find a value that an investor
can compare with the security’s current price and on basis of his comparison he
finally decides whether to buy an underpriced security or to sell an overpriced
security.
The same concept applies here. When we buy a share we are offered with
various shares from various companies. Here again the question arises
that whether the market price of share is a true reflector of its actual
worth or not.

Short-term creditors prefer a high current ratio since it reduces their risk. Shareholders may
prefer a lower current ratio so that more of the firm's assets are working to grow the
business. One drawback of the current ratio is that inventory may include many items that
are difficult to liquidate quickly and that have uncertain liquidation values. The quick ratio
is an alternative measure of liquidity that does not include inventory in the current assets.
The quick ratio is defined as follows:
Another major asset turnover ratio is inventory turnover. It is the cost of goods sold
in a time period divided by the average inventory level during that period
Return on assets is a measure of how effectively the firm's assets are being used to
generate profits. It is defined as:
Return on equity is the bottom line measure for the shareholders, measuring the profits
earned for each dollar invested in the firm's stock. Return on equity is defined as
follows
In essence, support is the floor price of the stock supporting it to stay higher, while
resistance is the ceiling that's keeping the stock's price from going higher.
Examining where a stock's price currently sits between the support and resistance
lines is a major tool that technical analysts use to determine price trends. Because
stock prices tend to bounce between support and resistance lines, both are crucial to
predicting when a price might move or not (and in which direction).
Support and resistance levels are extremely important in identifying trends and
when they might reverse. That's why they're one of technical analysis' key concepts.
Breakout: Breakout is a point when the stock‟s price moves above resistance or
below support. It is a technical analysis term, used to indicate a rise in a stock‟s
price above its resistance level (such as its previous high price) or drop below its
support level (commonly the last lowest price.) The assumption is that the stock will
continue to move in the same direction following the breakout, which generates a
buy or sell signal.
