Overview

Fundamental analysis asks what an asset is worth given cash flows, balance-sheet quality, growth, and the discount rate implied by macro risk. It spans bottom-up (company) and top-down (cycle, rates, FX).

Practical takeaway

Build a thesis with assumptions you can stress: terminal growth, margins, and multiples. Update on new filings and macro prints — fundamentals are a process, not a snapshot.
