Financial Statement Analysis
1. You are to select two companies which are competitors (same SIC classifications). One firm will
be a publicly-traded U.S. company which reports under GAAP and the other will be a foreign
competitor, also publicly-traded, which reports under IFRS.
2. You are to briefly describe, in your own words and citing company literature where appropriate,
the companies under consideration.
3. The majority of the project is a complete ratio analysis of the two companies. You are to follow
the format listed in our course textbook which is the first chapter of Subramanyan, Financial
Statement Analysis.
4. For additional reference about the project, please consult the perfect student submission which
can be found in Canvas.
5. You are to use the two most recent years of financial statements for your analysis.
6. You are to graph the common stock price for the years under consideration. Please
appropriately label the source of your stock-price graph.
