Quantitative Analysis Definition


Quantitative Analysis - An assessment of specific measurable securities or investment factors, such as cost of capital, value of assets; and projections of sales, costs, earnings, and profits. Combined with more subjective or qualitative considerations (such as management effectiveness), quantitative analysis can enhance investment decisions and portfolios.

Analysis of a security or corporation based on measurable factors rather than on subjective factors such as the company's "story" or the skill of its managers.
