The direction is nebulous – on purpose. It’s your story to tell. Here’s my recommended steps.

Do some research on the company – figure out what you think is most important – are they undergoing an acquisition? do they have a lot of cash? a lot of debt? should the sell off a part of the business?

Based on this research – pick the most appropriate ratios.

The ratios exist online (you don’t need to re-create them but that also makes for an interesting paper).

Use the ratios to tell the STORY. What happened, why, where do they go from here? The numbers are great – but what’s behind them?

Two students can pick the same company and tell completely different stories.
