Week 5 Case Study
Case Study Financial Ratio Analysis
Recap
At this point in the course you have completed the first two phases of your Financial Analysis of your Chosen Company, which are the Company Overview and the Financial Overview. The Company Overview allowed you to become familiar with the company, its history, main products and services, and so on, and the Financial Overview gave you a basic look at the company’s financial status as revealed by its financial statements. Now it is time to take a more in-depth look at the company’s financial status by performing a ratio analysis.
Remember from your readings that ratio analyses are relative. That is, they tell you how a company is doing compared to something else. In your ratio analysis of your Chosen Company you will measure its performance compared to one of its major competitors, and you will compare its performance in the latest fiscal year with its performance in the previous year.
