Morphology

fundamentals + analysis

The phrase literally means 'analysis of the fundamentals' — combining 'fundamentals' (core elements) with 'analysis' yields a straightforward compositional meaning of examining core factors. This pattern is common cross-linguistically and a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to examining a company's basic financial/economic factors, so it is transparent.

Etymology

Fundamentals analysis comes from the idea of checking a building's base. fundamentals are the basic parts and analysis is a careful look. Investors study a company's basic numbers and facts to judge its 'value', so the phrase means looking at those core facts to see if a stock is a good buy.
