How to analyze the fundamentals of the company?Basically one should be able to judge at least how the company has done in past years, its debit status, its current valuation, its future growth prospects, its earning capacity etc
So that based on these terms he can at least decide whether to invest in this company or not.
What you should look for in a company to invest?1. About Company -
What the company is doing and what are its businesses?
How is the current demand for their products and how the demand will be in future like in next 3 to 5 years and so? (It is
difficult to analyze the future demand yourself so you can visit financial websites or contact us)
2. Earnings -
This is very important parameter. Broadly look into its last 5 or 10 years earnings whether the company has posted profits or
losses.
Its all about earnings. The bottom line is investors want to know how much money the company is making and how much it is
going to make in the future.
To find the earning status ratios used are
EPS - Earning per share
Current valuation -
This is another very important factor which most of the investor forgets while doing their investments.
Generally most of the investors invest at higher valuations of shares and when share prices start coming down then they keep
worrying, so this should not happen.
Before investing one should check the current valuation of the share price and invest only when the share price is at right price and not
at over priced share.
This is what happened in January 2008. Most of the people invested at very high valuations and later on the share prices started to
correct (falling down).
To find the current valuation of the stock the ratios used are PE ratio - Price to earning ratio
Book value
PB ratio - Price to book value ratio
4. Future earnings growth5. Debit status -
For any company to perform well in the future it is very important to be debt free or less debit because if company is having large
debits like borrowings, loans then it becomes difficult for it to plan for any acquisitions, expansion plans take over plans, dividend
payout and very important its most of the net profit goes in paying the interest and loans and other debits.
So in other words if the company is having fewer debits or no debit then they are having lots of cash in hand and they are free to take
any decision in coming future.
To find the debit status of the company the ratios used are
Debit ratio -
It is very important to analyze how the company is going to do in future. How will be its returns or its profits etc?
Basically most of the investors invest in shares taking into consideration Companys future growth prospects.
