What belongs in a fundamental research checklist?
Start with what the company sells and how it earns revenue. Then examine profitability, operating cash flow, capital spending and debt together. Record the source and date of every important number. If management uses an adjusted measure, read the reconciliation rather than treating it as interchangeable with the reported result.
How should valuation and market context be read?
Compare like-for-like businesses and reporting periods. A ratio can move because the stock price changes, because earnings change, or both. Separate current results from forecasts and identify the assumptions used in each comparison. The goal is to make the reasoning inspectable, not to turn a single metric into a trading signal.
Which risks should a research note make explicit?
Record the factors that could invalidate the thesis: customer concentration, refinancing needs, competition, currency exposure or uncertain demand. Consider how the conclusion changes under different assumptions. Risk cannot be removed by AI-generated text, a polished dashboard or a past performance chart.
