"Le champ des possibilités XXX s'élargit, allant même jusqu'à remettre en cause certains fondamentaux de l'entreprise."
My dictionaries don't show either "certain" or "fondamental" as a noun, yet that seems to be the usage here. Is the meaning "certain basic assumptions" or "certain key conditions" of the enterprise? Is it something else?

Comment: "Thank you, all. Rita, your answer came closest in concept, so you get the points. CarolynB, I liked the colloquial turn of phrase, but thought I needed something closer to principles/assumptions. Jane, a great elaboration, but in this context the financial reading did not in fact fit. I appreciate your help, each and everyone!"

some of the company's fundamentals
This is the same in English. It is is taken from Stock Market Analysis...Fundamentals very technical analysis. Here's a basic explanation:
Unlike its cousin technical analysis, which focuses only on the trading and price history of a stock, ***fundamental analysis focuses on creating a portrait of a company, identifying the intrinsic or "fundamental" value of its shares, and buying or selling the stock based on that information.***
****Some of the indicators commonly used to assess company fundamentals include: cash flow; return on assets; conservative gearing; history of profit retention for funding future growth; and soundness of capital management for the maximizing of shareholder earnings and returns.***** Think of the stock market as a shopping mall: stocks are the items for sale in the retail outlets. Technical analysts will ignore the goods for sale. Instead, they will keep an eye on the crowds as a guide for what to buy. If they notice shoppers congregating inside a computer shop, our technical analysts will try to buy as many PCs as they can, betting that the growing demand will push PC prices higher.

cash flow
return on assets
conservative gearing
profit retention
capital management..
Believe me, you can just leave this as is. It is NOT principles or anything like that. They are indicators that a company is HEALTH. And everbody in the CORPORATE world knows what the term refers to.
