Reference no: EM13768491

Research a publicly held company of your choice, and access the company's Web page on the Internet to read its most recent annual report. The annual report is typically found in an "Investor Relations" or "Company Information" section within the company's Web site.

Using the company's financial statements, perform a complete 2-year financial statement analysis addressing liquidity, efficiency, debt, profitability, and market measures as well as a common-size income statement and balance sheet along with a practical narrative. This analysis should not only include the calculation of the required ratios, but an assessment of the firm's health in each area and a summary of the findings with regards to the overall health of the firm. All related findings, conclusions, and recommendations should be supported with sound financial analysis principles and be properly sourced.
