Financial Ratios, IPOs and Bonds

Financial ratios are examined based on (1) how they change over time, (2) how they compare to industry norms, and (3) how they compare with key competitors. Financial ratios based on actual financial statements reveal strengths and weaknesses of the firm; ratios based on projected financial statements reveal potential problems and successes likely to occur if a particular set of recommendations is implemented.

Terms

Financial Ratios – These are examined based on (1) how they change over time, (2) how they compare to industry norms, and (3) how they compare with key competitors.

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) – means selling off a percentage of a company to others to raise capital; this action dilutes the owners’ control of the firm. It is not recommended for companies with less than $10 million in sales because the initial costs can be too high for the firm to generate sufficient cash flow to make this strategic move worthwhile.

Bonds – Issued by companies or other entities needing to raise capital to finance new projects, maintain ongoing operations, or refinance existing debts. On a balance sheet, they are included in the long-term debt row.
