Chosen Company: Kingfisher plc Need 2500 words report with calculations For this report, you should use the ratios you have calculated to discuss the financial performance of the company in relation to one of its competitors. Also, ideally, you should compare, as far as possible, the financial performance of your company to the industry benchmarks. You should highlight the benefits of undertaking this group assignment in terms of applying for a postgraduate job. You should particularly focus on the skills that you have acquired and developed whilst carrying out this assignment. Such skills include, but not limited to, researching a company, collecting and analysing relevant and up-to-date data, time management, working in cross cultural teams, conflict resolution and presenting information, and not forgetting working almost entirely on-line (a situation which is likely to become more commonplace in future) in a plausible manner. Please note that this is not a company valuation exercise and as such you will not be able to, and consequently you should not, give advice on whether it is a good investment opportunity. Assume you are a current/potential investor in the company you have been allocated by the module leader. You are required to use the company's 2022 Annual Report and Financial Accounts (use 2021 accounts if 2022 accounts are not available) to calculate the relevant financial ratios and make comparisons with the financial performance of one other company in the same industry sector that is as close as possible to your company in terms of size and nature of operation (You will never find a perfect match; so, don't look for it !.). The competitor company does not have to be from the London stock exchange although it will make the comparison easier if it were. Choosing a competitor company from another country where the accounts are in a different currency should not cause any problem since ratios are expressed as percentages and as such currency becomes irrelevant. Given that the latest Annual Report and Financial Accounts of any company is almost out of date by the time it is published, you will be expected to show knowledge of the present and likely future economic \& business environment within which these companies operate in order to make informed comments on the financial ratios that you calculate
