Fundamental analysis : an application on Singapore Airlines Limited

The boom in the local stock market has sent prices of many stocks through the roof, to exorbitant levels which would intimidate many value investors. Amid this optimism in the market, the stocks of some companies, however, have not performed satisfactorily. Do these companies have investment va...

Over the following report, we first review the world economic outlook, which greatly affects the airline industry. The industry study examines the key factors underlying the general profitability of airlines.

We have gone quite a bit into details but we believe that this is worthwhile as we see the company as a rose among the thorns in the ailing airline industry.

We have realised that there is no definite way in analysing a company. This process takes a lot of judgment on the part of the analysts . It undoubtedly requires a lot of practice to improve one's skills in the area of fundamental analysis . We sincerely hope that our research efforts will spur more final year projects of this nature in the future .
