Financial Statement Analysis and EPS Forecasting Report Assignment
First, choose a publicly traded company to analyze this semester. Choosing a US company which has
been trading for more than 3 years will alleviate many issues (i.e. translating currencies).
Next, gather historic data on key financial statements of the firm from either SEC filings
(http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm), Yahoo Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/) or the
firm’s own investor relations website. These include:
Balance Sheet
Income Statement
Cash Flow Statement
Also collect necessary information like stock price, shares outstanding, dividends paid, etc.
