Quantitative Financial Analysis
Tools of Analysis : Horizontal Analysis / Trend Analysis / Growth Analysis
๏ Horizontal analysis , also called trend analysis , is a
technique for evaluating a series of Financial Statement (FS) data over a period of time.
๏ Its purpose is to determine the increase or decrease
that has taken place.
๏ Horizontal analysis is commonly applied to the Balance
Sheet (BS), income statement, and Statement of Retained Earnings (RE).
Quantitative Financial Analysis : Growth Analysis (Period- By-Period Change)
๏ Long-term trends over time can be significant. Are current year performance measures consistent with earlier years (e.g., maintaining consistent ratios while sales are rising smoothly)?
๏ As a first step, present growth rates (including % increases) for the last 5-10 years.
๏ Declining or negative growth rates might be obvious red flags; Red flags and other indicators of poor growth performance require further analysis.
Quantitative Financial Analysis : Quarterly Analysis
๏ The most recent financial data is presented quarterly (e.g., 10-Q). [The one exception is at year end, with annual information is presented].
๏ Financial analysts focus on quarterly data and the quarterly earnings announcement is the most important (& earliest) information.
๏ Common-size and ratios analysis is conducted, and compared over earlier quarters: particularly important are current quarter data to (1) the previous quarter and (2) the same quarter one year ago.
Tools of Analysis : Vertical Analysis
๏ Vertical analysis , also called common-size analysis ,
is a technique that expresses each Financial Statement (FS) item as a percent of a base amount.
๏ On an Income Statement (IS) , we might say that
selling expenses are 16% of net sales.
๏ Vertical analysis is commonly applied to the Balance
Sheet (BS) and the Income Statement (IS).
