Fundamental Analysis of Stocks: How to Research an Indian Stock
- Understand the business. Know how the company earns money, its customers, competitors and sector cycle before looking at the share price.
- Read quarterly results and annual reports. Compare revenue, EBITDA margin, net profit, cash flow and debt year-on-year and quarter-on-quarter.
- Check valuation against peers. Compare P/E, P/B, EV/EBITDA and growth with listed competitors and the company’s own history.
- Review risks and governance. Look at promoter holding, pledging, related-party transactions, regulatory exposure and management commentary.
- Verify on primary sources. Confirm numbers on NSE, BSE, SEBI filings and company investor presentations before acting.

Stock Market Terms Explained Simply
P/E ratio
Share price divided by earnings per share. It shows how much investors pay for each rupee of profit and is best compared with peers, the company’s own history and its growth rate.
EPS (earnings per share)
Net profit attributable to shareholders divided by the number of shares. Rising EPS over several years usually signals growing profitability.
ROE (return on equity)
Net profit divided by shareholders’ equity. It measures how efficiently a company turns shareholder capital into profit.
ROCE (return on capital employed)
Operating profit (EBIT) divided by capital employed. It shows how well a business uses all its capital, including debt.
EBITDA margin
EBITDA divided by revenue. It shows operating profitability before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
NIM (net interest margin)
The gap between interest earned and interest paid by a bank, relative to its earning assets. A core measure of bank profitability.
GNPA (gross NPA)
Loans where repayment is overdue by more than 90 days, shown as a share of total loans. Lower is better for banks.
RHP (red herring prospectus)
The offer document an IPO company files before the issue opens, covering its business, financials, risks and issue details.
GMP (grey market premium)
An unofficial, unregulated indicator of expected IPO listing price. It reflects sentiment and can be wrong.
IPO subscription
How many times investors’ bids exceed the shares on offer. High subscription shows demand, not business quality.
Frequently Asked Questions About Stock & IPO Research
What is PositionalCalls?
PositionalCalls is an independent Indian stock market research website covering company fundamentals, quarterly results, valuation, IPO analysis and sector trends for NSE and BSE listed companies.
How do I research an Indian stock before investing?
Start with the business model, then review revenue, profit, cash flow and debt from quarterly results and annual reports. Compare valuation with peers, read the risk factors, and verify every number on NSE, BSE or company filings.
How do I analyse an IPO in India?
Read the RHP or offer document, check the business model, financial track record, promoter background, use of proceeds, valuation versus listed peers and risk factors. Subscription data and grey market activity are sentiment indicators, not proof of quality.
How do I read quarterly results of a company?
Compare revenue, EBITDA, EBITDA margin and net profit with the previous quarter and the same quarter last year. Check management commentary, one-off items, debt and cash flow rather than relying on headline profit alone.
What is the P/E ratio and how is it used?
The P/E ratio is the share price divided by earnings per share. It shows how much investors pay for each rupee of profit. It is most useful when compared with a company’s own history, its listed peers and its growth rate.
What is a good P/E ratio for a stock?
There is no single good P/E. It depends on the sector, growth, profitability and interest-rate conditions, so compare a company with its own history and listed peers rather than a fixed number.
What do GNPA and NIM mean in bank results?
GNPA is gross non-performing assets, the share of loans where repayment is overdue, so lower is better. NIM is net interest margin, the gap between interest earned and paid relative to earning assets, a key measure of bank profitability.
What is GMP in an IPO?
GMP, or grey market premium, is an unofficial price at which IPO shares trade before listing. It is unregulated and can change quickly, so treat it as a sentiment signal, not a reliable predictor of listing gains.
What is the difference between fundamental and technical analysis?
Fundamental analysis studies a company’s business, financials and valuation to estimate its worth over the long term. Technical analysis studies price and volume patterns to time entries and exits. Many investors use fundamentals to pick companies and charts as a secondary input.
Where should I verify financial numbers?
Use company filings, stock exchange disclosures on NSE and BSE, SEBI-filed offer documents and investor presentations. Treat secondary summaries as a starting point, not a substitute for primary sources.
Does PositionalCalls give buy or sell tips?
No. Content is educational research, not personalised investment advice or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Investors should assess their own risk tolerance or consult a SEBI-registered adviser.
Does research guarantee returns or IPO listing gains?
No. Markets are uncertain, estimates can be wrong, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Neither research nor subscription numbers can promise returns or listing gains.
How can I receive stock market and IPO updates?
Follow the free PositionalCalls WhatsApp Channel for company analysis, sector developments and IPO updates, and verify time-sensitive claims against current official disclosures.
