Análise do desempenho de empresas de capital aberto da área de saúde empregando índices fundamentalistas

Abstract

The present study examined the economic and financial indicators of publicly-held companies in the health sector during the period between April 2020 and April 2021. The methodology used quantitative, descriptive research and regression analysis to verify the relationship between the return of the company and fundamental indicators. The results show that, in general, companies with a greater number of indicators (strong fundamentals) obtained greater returns compared to companies with weak fundamentals. The investment portfolio, containing six assets selected using fundamental analysis, had an average return of approximately 25% in the period surveyed, indicating that fundamental analysis tends to be an effective method to assist agents' decisions in selecting assets for good returns.
