Fundamental Analysis 101

A method of evaluating a security that entails
attempting to measure its intrinsic value by
examining related economic, financial and other
qualitative and quantitative factors.

everything that can affect the security's value,
including macroeconomic factors (like the
overall economy and industry conditions) and
company-specific factors (like financial condition
and management).
