In a Nutshell
Investing Pro, a premium investing.com tool, excels at fundamental analysis to validate trades and spot risks, like INTC's overbought technicals clashing with negative P/E (-1,175), plunging net income (-$591M in Q4), and weak profitability despite hype-driven gains. Key features include Data Explorer for ratios, Pro Research for bull/bear cases and LTM models, news/dividends, watchlists, investor portfolios, and Warren AI. Use it now amid market highs and uncertainty to avoid bad trades—costs under $10/month—for informed decisions over hyped momentum plays.

One of my favorite tools to analyze companies is Investing Pro. This is April 2026, step-by-step on how to use the software. Making this video because an LPP member suggested it to understand the software and ask if it's something they value and how to use it. Video suggestions: comment below or direct message via Instagram (one account, linked in description, third link down).
Investing Pro is the premium service of investing.com. Favorite resource, not to discover companies to invest in—especially beginners should not pay for services presenting trade opportunities. Use tools to make more informed trade decisions and avoid bad trades. Understand a company fundamentally, not just technically.
For INTC, stock recently gapped up, technically overbought on 4-hour and daily time frames. $312 billion market cap, exceptional price performance. But does it make sense to short? Is the company falling apart or thriving?
Type ticker (e.g., INTC) in top left, enter. Shows fair value top right: analyst target, 41 analysts, 52-week range $18-$66, currently $62, Investing models fair price ~$42 (32% downside).
Data Explorer: -1,175 P/E ratio. Company makes $52 billion revenue but $26 million net income. Negative P/E ratio—something off. P/E ratio is a premium you're willing to pay (e.g., Tesla premium for Optimus, robo taxi). For INTC, negative -1,100 P/E.
Google P/E ratio or ask Investing Pro's Warren AI (ChatGPT tailored for investors/traders, included).
Pro Research worth the price tenfold. Understand companies fundamentally. Don't sign up to discover stocks to trade—use to find reasons NOT to trade/invest.
INTC revenue growth? Past year ran up 230% when Trump administration announced 10% stake—momentum/hype rally, but they correct.
LTM models (last 12 months): revenue, cost of goods, net profit -267 million, income tax. Quarter-over-quarter earnings reports: deeper fundamental look.
Q4 lost $591 million—does not support 260% return or growth story. Technicals/fundamentals don't align.
Bull Case and Bear Case
Bull/bear cases: beginners look for reasons to AVOID, aware of risks.
Bear case: acute supply constraints, gross margins under pressure, unprofitable, EPS estimates show analyst skepticism, RSI overbought.
News section: visual, appealing, Pro news updates not available to regular users. Dividends, earnings (expected upcoming, previously reported, forecast vs. actual, market reaction post-earnings).
Overall models/financials: compare similar companies, health metrics.
- Cash flow (want good in uncertain times)
- Growth health (want good)
- Price momentum: 5 (insane last 12 months)
- Profitability health, relative value health: red flags. Momentum stock due to Trump admin 10% stake.
Watch list: keep small (normally ≤3). Recently added overbought watch list: Intel, Oracle, CoreWeave, SanDisk—monitoring for short criteria.
Ideas tab: investors' holdings (e.g., Warren Buffett portfolio, percentages, price performance 1/3/5 years).
ProPix AI: market areas thriving/lacking, returns past 1/5 years. Use for screeners, data explorers, charts. Not used often—value for discovery.
Warren AI: ChatGPT for investors.
Understand companies fundamentally as markets near all-time highs. Economy: inflation up, labor market weak, market forked/lifted by 7 companies while rest fall behind. How long sustainable? Fundamentals matter in uncertainty.
Use to become informed, fewer reasons to overtrade, more informed decisions. Fundamentals/technicals never perfect, but dig deeper—worth the price (<$10/month, first link in description).
Questions: comment or Instagram DM (third link, verified, only one account—others fake).
Let's make sure that we end the year on a green note.
