If confidence in a company's stock is perpetually high (Coca-Cola, Walmart), you can
assume that investors won't see a relatively high return on their investment. People
invest in these kinds of companies because they're confident that the company is a
stable investment. The buy low / sell high kinds of companies are investment risks and
depending on who you are (or when you buy/sell) you might be happy to see confidence
fluctuate!
That's the reason I see that share prices / volumes are not part of a company's profit
margin (net income): neither really indicate how much a return the company is getting
from the use of its assets. They're more indicative of market perceptions and forecasts
than an objective snapshot of a corporation's success.
It is important for a corporation to maintain the confidence of the stockholder so they will

report comes out (especially one without a good explanation), the confidence of the

if the industry that company is in isn't doing so well.
I believe that financial analysis are very important, although analyzing financial statements can be quite complex. Financial data represent the concrete results of the company's strategy and structure. The analysis of a balance sheet for example can identify potential liquidity problems. These may signify the company's inability to meet financial obligations.
