Description
Whether used as predictors or indicators of stock prices, financial risk, merger candidates, or bond yields, financial ratios have been, and continue to be, a popular tool for analyzing a firm and its performance. Practitioners and academics who employ financial ratios often compare and contrast across several industries, but such evaluations assume that the ratios of one industry measure the same underlying concepts as the ratios of another. This book provides evidence on the comparability of financial ratios across several industries, assessing the similarity or dissimilarity of ratios among industry taxonomies, or groups of ratios.

Reviews:
-This volume is a specialized treatise on the comparability of financial ratios across the industry classifications. The treatise is thoroughly written and demonstrates how a financial analyst may use factor-analytic techniques 'to view the fundamental relationships underlying the date from different perspective and to use his or her intimate knowledge of the industry and the economy to make sense of financial numbers.' In short, the book is for the skilled practitioner of security analysis. Most appropriate for use in advanced-level courses in investments, courses that are more commonly taught in business schools than in liberal arts colleges. University and professional collections. —Choice
