1.  Fundamental analysis is used in finance to evaluate the intrinsic value—the real worth—of a security, sector, or economy. It's used when scrutinizing income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements for a company's stock. Fundamental analysis is generally for those looking for long-term value. 

• Financial statements: These include a company's income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement, which provide an economic snapshot and help assess its profitability, liquidity, and solvency. Analysts use these to determine financial ratios, multiples, and other mathematical representations of a firm's financial health.
• Economic indicators: Macroeconomic indicators like gross domestic product growth, inflation, and unemployment rates are used to understand the economic environment in which a company operates. These indicators can affect consumer behavior and, therefore, a company's performance.
