Financial ratios are essential to assessing to provide an accurate valuation of a firm. Select a publicly-traded firm of your choice. You may use the firm you have elected to profile for the course-long assignment "Financial Analysis and Proposal" or a completely different organization altogether. Select one ratio each in the areas of 1) performance, 2) activity, 3) financing, and 4) liquidity warnings. Provide an evaluation of the selected firms strengths and weaknesses. Based on the ratios you selected, how well does your chosen firm perform? Explain.

The firm that I am choosing is Abercrombie & Fitch. They are a specialty retailer that primarily operates stores and direct-to-consumer operations. The company is headquartered in Ohio. The company has 754 stores in the United States and 178 stores outside of the U.S. The Company strives to maintain sufficient quantities of inventory in its retail stores and DCs to offer customers a full selection of current merchandise. The Company attempts to balance in-stock levels and inventory turnover, and to take markdowns when required to keep merchandise fresh and current with fashion trends.
