A fundamental research analyst will base his recommendation on what basis?

Practice question from NISM XV Mock Test 7 — bank. The correct answer is highlighted below with a full explanation.

Options

  1. A

    The recommendations will be based on qualitative assessment of the business

  2. B

    The recommendations will be based on the volatility and momentum in share prices

  3. C

    The recommendations will be based on trends and patterns in historical prices and volumes

  4. The recommendations will be based on assessment of fair value of the company’s share

    Correct answer

Why this is the answer

Fundamental analysis estimates the intrinsic or fair value of a company’s stock based on financials, business outlook, and economic environment. The analyst then compares market price to fair value to recommend buying or selling. Options B and C relate to technical analysis, while qualitative factors alone (A) do not determine the full recommendation.
