        abstract = {Valuation of securities is one of the central functions in Investment and Portfolio Management. Investors, portfolio managers, and analysts rely on valuation techniques to estimate intrinsic value, compare it with market price, and make decisions regarding buying, holding, or selling securities. This paper focuses on the valuation of equity shares and examines the contribution of technical analysis to security valuation. Various equity valuation approaches such as dividend discount models, earnings-based methods, free cash flow approaches, and asset-based valuation are discussed in detail. Further, the paper elaborates on key technical tools such as charts, indicators, moving averages, support and resistance, and market psychology. The study emphasizes that fundamental valuation attempts to measure intrinsic value whereas technical analysis supports price prediction and timing of investment. A combined approach can significantly improve portfolio performance and risk management in volatile financial markets.},
