You searched for a stock analysis PDF, and I can guess what you were after: one clean, printable page you can keep next to your laptop while you size up a stock — not a pirated 400-page textbook that you will never finish.

Prefer a spreadsheet? There is a free stock analysis Excel template too. And for the charts, grab the free technical analysis PDF — indicators, candlesticks and patterns on one sheet.

It is a study aid, nothing more. It organises the questions you should ask of a company; it never tells you what to do with the answer. That part stays with you.

What’s inside the free PDF

Two pages, designed to be printed back-to-back and pinned somewhere you will actually look at it.

• Page 1 — the fundamental ratio cheat-sheet. Every ratio that earns its place, with the one plain question it answers and a rough sense of what a healthy reading looks like. ROE, debt-to-equity, P/E, PEG, net margin, operating cash flow. No formulas you need a calculator for — just the meaning.
• Page 2 — the technical analysis checklist. The short list of chart checks that do most of the work: trend, support and resistance, volume confirmation, and one momentum reading. This is the part people mean when they search for a technical analysis of stocks PDF — the checklist, not a 200-indicator dump.
• An India note running through both. Where to actually find the numbers for an NSE company: quarterly results filed with NSE and BSE, the annual report, and the shareholding pattern that quietly tells you whether the promoter has pledged shares.

The whole thing carries the SEBI disclaimer at the foot of every page, because this is education — not a tip sheet.

The fundamental ratio cheat-sheet (in full)

You do not need the PDF to start using this. Here is the cheat-sheet itself, the same six readings that sit on page one. For each one, the trick is the same: never judge a number in isolation. Compare it against the company’s own history and against its sector peers, never against an unrelated industry.

• Return on equity (ROE). How well does the company turn shareholders’ money into profit? Higher is generally better, but check it is not propped up by heavy borrowing.
• Debt-to-equity (D/E). How much does it owe versus what it owns? A D/E creeping up year after year is a question you want answered before anything else.
• Price-to-earnings (P/E). What are you paying for each rupee of profit? A ₹2,000 stock on a P/E of 18 is cheaper than a ₹200 stock on a P/E of 60 — the rupee price tag tells you nothing on its own.
• PEG ratio. Is that P/E justified by growth? PEG puts the P/E next to the earnings growth rate, so a “high” P/E on a fast grower can still be fair.
• Net margin. Of every ₹100 of sales, how much survives as profit? Thin margins are not automatically bad — they are just a different kind of business — but a margin that is shrinking each year is worth a hard look.
• Operating cash flow vs profit. Is the profit real? A company that books profits on paper but never sees the cash is one to question. The cash-flow statement is where the truth hides.

If you want each of these unpacked properly, with what counts as a good or worrying reading, the financial ratios that matter walks through them one at a time.

The technical checklist (in full)

Page two. Fundamentals tell you what to own; the chart tells you about the mood and the timing. You do not need fifty indicators — these few do most of the lifting.

• What is the trend? Up, down or sideways. A stock making higher highs and higher lows is in an uptrend; mark which way it is leaning before anything else.
• Where are support and resistance? The price levels where the stock has repeatedly turned before. These are the lines the market keeps reacting to.
• Does volume confirm the move? A breakout on heavy volume carries weight; the same move on thin volume is suspect. Volume is the market voting with its wallet on whether a move is real.
• What is momentum saying? One reading is enough — say RSI — to tell you whether a stock is stretched or has room. Piling on more indicators usually just adds noise.

That is it. If the chart side is new to you, the basics of technical analysis covers the trend, levels and volume in proper depth, and the right order to learn technical analysis lays out a sane sequence so you do not drown in indicators on day one.

A worked example (one fictional NSE name)

Numbers make this concrete, so here is a made-up company to walk the sheet on. Call it Bharat Tooling Ltd — purely illustrative, not a real stock, nothing here is a view on any company.

On the fundamental side, the cheat-sheet might read like this. Revenue up from ₹820 crore to ₹1,140 crore over three years — a steady climb, not a one-quarter spike. ROE around 19%, comfortably ahead of its mid-cap engineering peers. Debt-to-equity at 0.4 and roughly flat — borrowed, but not stretched. P/E of 26 against a sector median near 22, so slightly pricey — but the PEG comes out near 1.0 once you factor in the growth, so it is not obviously expensive either. Operating cash flow tracks profit closely, which means the earnings are real and not an accounting mirage.

Then a red flag the chart would never show you: the shareholding pattern says promoters have pledged 22% of their stake. That single line is worth more attention than any ratio above it.

On the technical side: the stock is in a broad uptrend, sitting just under a resistance level near ₹540 that has rejected it twice. The last push toward that level came on thin volume — so the breakout, if it comes, is not yet confirmed. Momentum is on the warmer side but not extreme.

Put it together and you get a balanced read, not a verdict: “decent business, fairly valued, growing — but watch the promoter pledging, and the chart hasn’t confirmed the breakout.” That sentence is what a finished analysis looks like.

Looking for a specific book as a PDF?

Be honest — some of you searched “stock analysis PDF” hoping to find a free copy of a famous book. I get it, but I am not going to hand you a pirated one, and you should not download them either. The free copies floating around are usually scanned, malware-laced, or outright illegal, and they rob the authors who actually did the work.

Here is the better route, and it is genuinely free or cheap:

• Zerodha Varsity — a complete, free, India-first course on fundamentals and technicals, readable in a browser or as official PDFs the authors put out themselves. zerodha.com/varsity
• NSE Academy — the exchange’s own learning material, built for the Indian market. nseindia.com/learn
• The Internet Archive for genuinely out-of-copyright classics, and the publisher’s own site for everything still in print — buy the e-book, support the author.

If it is book recommendations you are after rather than PDFs, the best stock analysis books for India flags which classics still hold up for NSE and which are too American or too dated to bother with.

Skip the manual work

Here is the honest limit of any PDF: it is a checklist, not a worker. It tells you to test debt-to-equity and read the shareholding pattern — but you still have to dig out five years of filings, do the maths, benchmark against the sector and read the notes yourself. That is an afternoon per stock when you are starting out.

If you would rather have the checklist run for you, that is exactly what the StockGenie AI stock analysis app does for any NSE-listed company. It pulls the financials, calculates every ratio on the cheat-sheet, benchmarks them against the sector, flags things like rising debt or promoter pledging, and lays the technicals beside them — in plain English or Hindi, with a fundamental score out of 100. No buy or sell call, and that is the point: a score you can question, mapped to the same checks in the PDF, beats a verdict you cannot. The PDF teaches your eye; the app does the heavy reading. Use both. You can try StockGenie free on Android and keep the printout next to it.
