Vertical analysis:
Vertical analysis is the method of financial statement analysis, and it is useful to evaluating a company’s performance and financial condition.

In the vertical analysis, the financial statements are analyzed in the following manner:

balance sheet , each asset item is stated as a percent of the total asset, and each liability and owner’s equity item is stated as a percent of total liabilities and owner’s equity. - In vertical analysis of an income statement, each item of revenue and expense is stated as a percent of total revenues of the business.
