How to Analyze Stocks Like a Pro

Date : Dec 8th, 2024

Speakers : Saket Kumar and Hari Kusumakar

In this educational seminar, Saket and Hari taught 218 investors to analyze stocks using a deep fundamental approach. Attendees learned to forecast stock prices through valuation multiples and earnings forecasts. They analyzed financial statements using growth, margin, and incremental trends over 3–5 years. Sales forecasting emphasized pricing power and volume, while cost analysis focused on fixed and variable expenses. Assumptions for depreciation, interest, taxes, and share count were covered. Key valuation multiple drivers included money flow, peer companies valuation, balance sheet quality, management, and macro factors. Emphasis was placed on the "value creation machine" and identifying traits of effective management teams.
