Fundamental and Technical Analyses: A Shortcut to Picking Value Stocks

Do you want to know how professional investors pick stocks through analysis?

Today SlashTraders will show you what fundamental analysis and technical analysis are, and our shortcuts to picking bullish value stocks.

What Is Fundamental Analysis?

Fundamental analysis is a method that uses financial data and market forecasts to analyse a company's market capitalisation and its stock's Fair Value.

Value investors use financial reports such as Balance Sheets and Income Statements to understand a company's assets, debts and cash flow.

These data are useful in determining the company's operational capabilities, including Debt to Equity and EPS, then use P/E Ratio to find the stock's Fair Value.

Fundamental analysis through financial reports is especially useful for determining the value of a stable and profitable company like Microsoft. Trefis estimates the stock Fair Value through the investment and profitability of different Microsoft divisions:

  • Intelligent Cloud contributes 37.4%.
  • Productivity and Business Processes contribute 33.5%.
  • More Personal Computing contributes 26.1%.
  • Around $86 billion in cash contributes 3.1%.

The estimate shows MSFT is worth around $371 in intrinsic value, meaning there is an Upside of 34.9% from the current $275 market price.

Future projection of a particular industry can help estimate a company's worth through future market growth and whether the company has leadership status. Tesla's leadership in high growth electric car and renewable energy markets contributes to its high market valuation.

But the downside of such speculative analysis means every financial analyst seems to have a different perspective on the market prospects, leading to the massive fluctuation in electric car company valuations, and unpredictable trends.

What Is Technical Analysis?

Technical analysis is a method that uses past stock price fluctuation patterns to deduce bullish and bearish signals to help us predict short and medium-term trends.

Common technical analysis indicators came to popularity through extensive backtesting to find consistent winning signals:

  • Simple Moving Averages use 50-day, 100-day and 200-day stock price averages to minimise the impact of short term stock movement to find medium and long term price trends.
  • Momentum indicators like RSI use price movements to find Oversold and Overbought conditions that predict bearish or bullish trends.

We can see clear bullish signals from recent FB stock price charts:

  • When the stock price stays below 50-day, 100-day and 200-day MA lines, with small signs of 50 MA curling up, there is a high probability that the stock price will revert to a bullish trend next.
  • RSI shows the stock has recently transitioned from Oversold to Overbought.

Both signals show a high probability of a bullish outlook for the Meta stock price.

Fundamental analysis and technical analysis provide guidelines to predict long term and short term directions of movement.
