Unit 9 Assignment: Comprehensive Financial Analysis
In this assignment, you will be assessed based on the following

conducting effective earnings forecasts and analysis.
GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through
the composition of original materials in Standard English.
This is a challenging activity. You should prepare to spend
substantial time working on your response.
In this research paper, you will dig deep into the financial
statements of Walmart. You will analyze the company’s past
financial performance to help you forecast their future business,
profitability, and cash flow. You will use these results to
forecast the value of the company; what YOU think the
company is actually worth today. You will compare your value
to the current stock price, explaining any differences. This is
how decisions to buy and sell stock, and to buy and sell
companies are made every day all over the world. The nightly
business news is full of the “buy, sell, and hold”
recommendations derived from analysis like this. I bet those
jobs pay very nicely, don’t you!
Your paper must include the following criteria in addition to a
title and references page:
● Executive Summary: This is a 1-page summary of the entire

● Financial History: (3-year analysis of the company’s
performance. Your report will include the ratio results plus an
explanation and analysis of each ratio. Include the ratio, its
results, and what the results mean for the company. (Liquidity
and Debt, Asset Management, Profitability, and Market ratios.
See ratio detail below.) Were there changes in the ratios?
What could have caused the change? You must include an
evaluation section of what each type of (LAPM) ratio means
over the three years, then an overall comparison to validate your
conclusion. (Show you understand and know the ratios.)
● Financials Today: Current year with comparison to a
competitor. What are they doing?
How are they doing now? Add current events and focus on the
current financials. Include an evaluation for each type of
(LAPM) ratio for the current year, then an overall comparison
