Abstract
Stock market investment is a multifaceted process requiring robust analytical frameworks to navigate its inherent complexities. Technical analysis, focusing on historical price patterns and market trends, and fundamental analysis, emphasizing a company’s intrinsic value, represent two cornerstone methodologies for investment decision-making. This research paper conducts a comprehensive comparison of these approaches, evaluating their theoretical foundations, practical applications, and effectiveness across varying market conditions. Drawing on quantitative data, qualitative insights, and real-world investor behaviour, the study highlights the strengths and limitations of each method. It further explores the efficacy of hybrid models that integrate both approaches to enhance risk-adjusted returns. Findings suggest that while technical analysis excels in short-term, volatile markets, fundamental analysis is superior for long-term value creation. Hybrid strategies, however, offer a balanced approach, optimizing timing and selection for diverse investor profiles. Recommendations are provided for individual investors, educators, and policymakers to foster informed and adaptive investment practices.
