- Agree or disagree with the post Financial statements provide raw data, but without analysis, they lack meaningful insight. Different tools help uncover trends, assess financial health, and compare performance effectively. Horizontal analysis tracks changes over time, identifying growth patterns or declines. Vertical analysis expresses financial items as percentages of a base figure, making comparisons across companies easier. Like liquidity, profitability, and solvency measures, ratios offer critical efficiency, risk, and stability assessments. These tools translate numbers into actionable intelligence, helping businesses, investors, and analysts spot risks, make informed decisions, and drive strategic planning.
