Beside of these there will be a introduction of function of the analysis tool SODAS2.The following contents focus on the application of interval symbolic data analysis in the area of stock analysis using the actual data.At first study the application of principle component analysis of interval symbolic data. The purpose of this study is to classify a little number of principle components from many financial indicators, through analysis of the principal component data of listed companies of different sizes, discuss the relationship between the company size and investment risk and benefits, and discuss the correlation between the financial indicators.
