About the book

Investor Philip Fisher lays out the fundamentals of qualitative stock and business analysis, giving a step-by-step method for judging the parts of a company that numbers alone do not capture. He shows how to gather information on a business, including how to work out its real market share, and how to question its customers, competitors and suppliers to collect the scuttlebutt rather than only the company's own line. Fisher's ideas helped shape the style known as growth investing, and the book is still a reference for spotting growth companies. It has been taught at Stanford Business School, and the updated paperback adds an expanded preface and introduction by his son, Ken Fisher.

It appears on a published list of books recommended by Warren Buffett, who is reported to hold Fisher in the highest regard.

Warren Buffett (CEO/Berkshire Hathaway)

While investor Philip Fisher--who specialized in investing in innovative companies--didn't shape Buffett in quite the same way as Graham did, Buffett still holds him in the highest regard.
