If anyone desires to buy the company from the stock exchange the first thing to keep in mind is the purpose of buying. The ultimate goal of owning shares is taking the returns from the investment rather than for other purposes. Therefore, before buying the shares he must make a view of the overall earning history of the company rather than the price of the stocks. Warren Buffett suggests buying a company having a strong earning history along with consistent earning nature. He warned to buy the companies having a speculative quality. He gives high priority to such companies whose earning history along with their fundamental base is strong.

How to find underrated stocks :
1- Stocks giving high dividend yields continuously
2- EPS is growing yearly in a consistent the manner
3-Sudden failing in price of stocks
4-Price to book ratio is less than 1
