Presentation Abstract

Integrating Price with Earnings

Fundamental and technical analysis methods are radically different approaches to market forecasting, and are perceived as contradictory by some investors. I believe, however, stock trends on fundamentals but trade on technicals, and thus the two forms of analysis complement each other by adding value to the other.

As one of my favorite Japanese saying goes, 「株価は価値プラス、需給プラス、人気」, i.e., stock price is function of value plus supply-demand plus popularity. Indeed, Value-Momentum has become one of standard screenings among quantitative research using both technical and fundamental criteria simultaneously. However, very few software has accomplished in combining the two in one single data as an indicator to analyze and forecast stock prices to employ the strengths of both.

In this presentation I would like to introduce my approach to integrating price data with earnings: how it is constructed, why it should work, and more importantly, how it can work as both a trend and momentum indicator.

Japanese market indices and stocks are used as an example under the study in the presentation. However, this indicator should have general application in other markets where「株価は価値プラス、需給プラス、人気」holds true.
