You will use the internet to research the financial information of your chosen company and its two top competitors in the same industry. You can
easily copy and paste the financial statements to your paper first, then take care of the formatting. I would understand it if for some reasons you are unable to locate the Statement of Retailed Earnings of your chosen company. However, you must include its balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows.

1. Liquidity ratios
2. Solvency ratios
3. Asset management ratios
4. Profitability ratios
5. Market value ratios

If you compare CVS’ 2017 financial data to those in 2016, 2015, and on, it is a time-series or trend analysis. If you compare CVS’ financial data to those of Walgreen and Rite Aid in the same reporting period, it is a cross-sectional or peer-group analysis. You will perform both time-series and cross-sectional comparative analyses.
use three years of financial ratio data when performing the time-series or trend analysis.
