FININT / Financial analysis

Why compare financial indicators across several years?

How to review a company’s revenue, profit, liquidity and debt over time.

One set of financial statements shows a company’s position for a particular period. Its history helps you see the direction of change and ask better questions before deciding to work together.

Revenue and profit

Compare revenue growth with profit. If the indicators move differently, review costs, the business model and the conditions of the relevant reporting period.

Liquidity and debt

Liquidity describes the relationship between assets and liabilities. Debt indicators help assess financial pressure. Read both alongside their trends and the company’s operating context.

From an indicator to a question

  • How have revenue and profit changed?
  • Is there enough liquidity?
  • How is the debt burden changing?
  • Which deviations need further verification?

DataClaris .FININT automates preparation of available financial history and calculations. The analyst checks the reasons for changes and makes the decision in the context of the task.
