Making informed choices with fundamental and technical analyses
How do you determine your investment strategy? To assist you in making the best choices, we offer two types of analyses: fundamental and technical analysis. On this page, we explain what these analyses involve, so you can decide which approach suits you best.
Investing involves risks. You could lose (some of) the money you invested.
What is fundamental analysis?
Fundamental analysis provides extensive information about a company. Our experts conduct these analyses and offer you insights on whether to buy, hold, or sell shares. This is also referred to as an opinion.
We offer you detailed opinions on publicly traded companies with insights into strengths, weaknesses, risks, growth opportunities, and profitability. These opinions contain a wealth of company data to help you build in-depth knowledge about a stock, sector, or region that interests you.
How to find the opinions
Log in and go to your investment account. Tap ‘New order’ and select the share you’re interested in. You’ll find the ABN AMRO opinion at the bottom of the page with the share details, if it’s available for the share you’ve selected.
What is technical analysis?
Technical analysis focuses on historical market graphs and mathematical models. In My Dealingroom, you can conduct technical analyses yourself using various indicators. We provide guides and videos to assist you, enabling you to identify patterns and make predictions on potential price movements.

Combine both analyses for optimal insights
At ABN AMRO, we believe both analyses are valuable. Fundamental analysis can guide you in choosing which stocks to buy, hold, or sell. Technical analysis allows you to identify patterns in investor behavior. While no guarantees can be made about price movements, spotting trends can suggest potential directions.
We invite you to explore and use both fundamental and technical analysis to get the best of both worlds.
