A common concern regarding investing is determining which stock will give you the most success. With any investment, there’s always a risk of the stock decreasing in value. But with the proper resources, you can find stocks with the best chance of accumulating wealth and the least likely chance of losing money. But how do you go about doing this? It’s all about stock analysis! We will review three types of stock analysis today that will help you determine which investment is right for you. FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS This form of analysis uses data by looking into a company’s business and industry to determine if a company’s future share price can be projected to increase from its current share price. To find this information, you must look at a variety of factors.
the number of outstanding common shares. This will help you determine a business’s profitability. Price-to-earnings (PE) ratio: Divide the stock’s price by the company’s annual earnings per share. Typically, the average PE is 20–25 — anything below this range is considered a good PE ratio. Price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio: Divide the PE growth rate by the future earnings growth rate. A good PEG is a value lower than 1.0. Price-to-book (PB) ratio: This considers how a stock is priced by dividing the business’s stock price by its book value. If the PB is under 1.0, it’s a solid investment because the market is underpricing the stock price. Debt-to-EBITDA ratio: Take the company’s total debt and divide it by the business’s EBITDA — earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization — to find the ratio. If the number is below 3, it’s considered a healthy investment.
