Top-Down Analysis
Analysts can approach their analysis from two different perspectives: top-down and bottom-up. The top-down approach starts with global geopolitical and/or macroeconomic factors and moves to country, sector and company-specific analysis after that. The bottom-up approach starts with company-specific factors and moves up the pyramid towards macro factors.
