    Stock analysis is used by traders to make buy and sell call. It’s an approach to make informed decisions while investing in stocks.

These statements are made available to the investors in the form of quarterly earnings, disclosures to stock exchanges in compliance with the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) norms.
