Bottom line: Stock prices = fundamentals + technicals + psychology. The mix changes daily, but over time, real earnings growth wins. Source:

In the short run, technical factors and sentiment dominate. In the long run, fundamentals decide where a stock truly belongs. That’s why traders and long-term investors often look at different signals.

[3] Market sentiment – the psychology of investors. Emotions, biases, and herd behavior can move prices more than data. Behavioral finance shows: • Losses feel worse than gains • Investors chase trends • Markets can stay irrational for a long time

Inflation, market cycles, and investor demographics also play big roles. Younger investors add risk appetite. Retirees withdraw capital. The balance between these groups shapes overall equity demand.

Example: A bad outlook for one retail stock can drag down others in the same sector, even if their fundamentals haven’t changed. That’s “guilt by association” in action.

[2] Technical factors – these are market mechanics that affect buying and selling. They include: • Inflation & interest rates • Market and sector trends • Liquidity (trading activity) • Substitutes like bonds or real estate • Institutional trades or hedges

When earnings grow faster or risk feels lower, investors pay higher multiples. But when inflation or uncertainty rises, those multiples shrink – and prices fall.

The earnings base shows how much profit a company makes per share. The valuation multiple (like P/E ratio) shows how much investors are willing to pay for future earnings. Together, they form the foundation of a stock’s value.

[1] Fundamental factors – the company’s actual business performance. The following things shape what investors think a stock is worth: • Earnings per share (EPS) • Expected growth in profits • Dividends or cash flow • The discount rate (interest rates + risk).
