â€¢ Evaluate financial performance over multiple periods including a vertical analysis and horizontal analysis of the income statement, and trend analysis of other selected data, which may include information like changes (over the last 3 years) in net income, dividends, stock price, etc.
â€¢ Develop comprehensive ratio analysis to assess entity performance (must use at least 8 ratios that may be relevant and helpful in making your recommendation), including the Price/Earnings ratio and EPS. Use your understanding of the ratios to develop your recommendation. For example, has the companyâ€™s earnings improved over the last 3 years, is the stock fairly priced, and is the company meeting its projected dividend payout? Some of these questions may not be readily available through your review of the annual report alone, so you will have to do independent research outside of the SEC filings to review past financial news reports discussing the company, investigate the companyâ€™s website, newspaper articles, etc. Please provide complete citations that reference the source from which information is extracted.
â€¢ Financial and Performance Ratios (and computations). This section should include your ratios and computations. A summary of key information can be extracted and included in the Summary of the Financial Statement Analysis section above. INCOME STATEMENT
