Business Finance Homework Help

If you had to make an investment decision right now, such as whether to put $1,000 into one of three companies, it would be helpful if you could rely on more than your personal feelings or sentiments toward a company. As illustrated in this week’s Learning Resources, financial statements help provide that additional insight into a company’s financial health. These statements will not be useful to you, however, if you do not know how to interpret them and understand the implications of what the numbers represent. Interpreting financial statements can be as much of an art as a science because analysts may interpret the data differently depending on their goals and outlook. In this Discussion, you will locate a publicly traded company, review its financial statements, and determine if investing in the company is a good or bad decision.

Post a 75- to 150-word (1- to 2-paragraph) description of your selected public company’s financial outlook based on the financial statements you reviewed. In your description, include the following:

• A link to the company’s NASDAQ page, as well as the name and stock symbol
• A brief explanation of whether you would invest in the company based on the financial trends you observed (Note: You do not need to provide detailed financial data in your response; focus instead on overall trends year over year for the periods listed.)
• To support your response, be sure to reference at least one properly cited scholarly source.
