Fundamental Analysis: Intrinsic Value and Market Value
The ultimate goal of fundamental analysis is to find an asset’s intrinsic value. Investors analyze a stock’s intrinsic value along with its current market value to determine what to do with that stock.

Boeing Recovers From Trade War Threats
Despite Boeing’s positive earnings and the upbeat overall outlook for its performance this year, threats of a possible trade war caused by tariffs being imposed on imports between the United States and China has slightly pushed shares of the aircraft company during a number of trading sessions last week.
More than two weeks ago, Boeing shares also slipped by around 5% as the markets raised its concerns on U.S. President Donald Trump’s plans of imposing heavy tariffs on aluminum and steel imports on top of $50 billion worth of tariffs placed on Chinese imports. During the same time, Boeing shares has also recorded a decline of more than 9% over the month also due to market fears of a trade war possibly having a negative effect on American company profits.
Last week, Boeing shares suffered after Beijing announced tariffs on more than a hundred American products that will affect mostly whiskey production companies and automobile makers. This announcement was in response to U.S. President Trump’s own tariffs imposed on Chinese imports.
