Fundamental Analysis (FA) Overview
Fundamental Analysis, FA for short, is the study of a security (whatever it might be: stocks, commodities, forex, etc) from a perspective of analysing and comparing basic financial data about the security. In case of stocks, a Fundamental Analysis will look at the balance sheet, profit & loss statement, cash flows, products and services of the company, its market share, the management quality, its performance versus its peers etc. Having done the above (and more), decisions regarding investing or exiting from a company will be made.
Fortunately today, one does NOT have to be a financial wizard to understand all the above as much of the information required is already analysed and made available on the internet. Basic evaluations are already done, tables with the data are available and the investor now has to use this data to make his or her own decisions.
In this intensive 2 day course, important commonly used terms and metrics are covered in detail. Further, practical exercises are used to illustrate when and how to use FA appropriately, which evaluation methods are useful for what types of companies, in what types of market conditions is FA is relevant and when it is not.
