Fundamental Analysis - Medium to Long term buy & hold stocks strategyFundamental analysis? What's that? Sounds too complicated? Relax, it is easier than you think. You don't need to perform an in depth analysis. You only need to know a few fundamental company information to see if the stock is right for buy & hold purposes. Earnings The company earnings growth rate of greater or equal to 20% for the last 3 years. Earning per share EPS. This is the company earnings for the past 12 months divided by the number of shares that company has outstanding. I look for a consistent increase of around 15 to 20% earnings per share every year. The forward or forecast growth earning per share also need to be 15-20% This is your most important part of fundamental analysis. From share holder and most investor's view earnings per share growth are the most important factor. Share price react violently to any surprise in EPS when earning report is out. Revenue Company Revenue (Sales) Growth rate need to be at least 10% per year Current Ratio This is the measure of short term financial condition. It measures whether the company can pay their bills. This equates to Current Asset divided by Short Term Liability. I look for a figure of 1 or greater. Net Profit Margin This need to be 10% or more. PEG Ratio Price/Earnings To Growth ratio. It determines the relative trade-off between the price of a stock, the earnings generated per share (EPS), and the company's expected future growth. This needs to be less than 1. PEG ratio of less than 1 indicates a stock is undervalue & overvalue if the PEG ratio is greater than 1 Analyzing Recommended Stocks If some one recommend you to buy & hold a particular stock, you need to do the above basic fundamental analysis first. You 'll be surprised to see how many pass & fail the test. The one that I analyzed and passed the test using the basic fundamental company information above & technical analysis had made me very happy!
