We can use the following tools to analyze a company's financial statements: • (1) vertical analysis. • This includes the common-size income statement (each line item is expressed as a percentage of sales) and the common-size balance sheet (each line item is expressed as a percentage of total assets) • (2) horizontal analysis. • This includes a trend income statement and a percentage change income statement/balance sheet • (3) cause-of-change analysis. • We can understand why net income changed from one period to the next by separately identifying the individual effects of a change in sales, a change in margins, a change in a specific expense account, etc. • (4) ratio analysis. • This can tell us how quickly a company sells its inventory, collects cash from customers, and pays suppliers. We can analyze the company's profit margins, rate of return, short-term liquidity, long-term solvency, and efficiency. • (5) DuPont analysis. • We can disaggregate ROA and ROE into their component parts to learn why (a) the company's performance is improving or deteriorating and/or (b) why the company is outperforming/underperforming its competitors. • (6) quality of earnings. • We can assess the likelihood the company has manipulated its financial statements to overstate sales and/or earnings. • — • Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
