Fundamental analysis typically focuses on key statistics in a company's financial statements to determine if the stock price is correctly valued. I realize that some people will find a discussion on fundamental analysis within a book on technical analysis peculiar, but the two theories are not as different as many people believe. It is quite popular to apply technical analysis to charts of fundamental data, for example, to compare trends in interest rates with changes in security prices. It is also popular to use fundamental analysis to select securities and then use technical analysis to time individual trades.
Most fundamental information focuses on economic, industry, and company statistics.
Determine the condition of the industry. Determine the condition of the company. Determine the value of the company's stock. The economy is studied to determine if overall conditions are good for the stock market. These are just some of the questions that the fundamental analyst would ask to determine if economic conditions are right for the stock market.
