Final Grade Weight This assignment is worth 15% of your final grade Instructions Each student will: Select three publicly traded corporations which belong to the same industry. Note: Do not select Apple, Microsoft and/or Google, as we will analyse these three corporations during our Week 5 lesson. Compile relevant information about each corporation, including (but not necessarily limited to) their share price, market capitalization, earnings per share, price-to-earnings ratio, dividend yield, PEG ratio, and beta. Note: As these numbers will change over time, students can simply note the date on which they compiled their data. Compare the three corporations using this data. Conclude by describing which of the three corporations appear to be the best investment, given one's analysis of the valuation metrics. Length The analysis should be roughly 800 words (excluding the bibliography), though higher word counts are accepted. Research and Bibliography While stock market data can be found on many sites, Yahoo! Finance tends to be a very reliable and user-friendly source. *Review the academic integrity aids on our Blackboard site. *The course material/readings can be used as a source, but students must also use external sources.
