Target investment anlysis

1.Identify economic characteristics and competitive dynamics of your Target industry- In particular, where the company stands relative to the industry with respect to size (assets/sales), number of employees, market share, products, global reach, etc. Use your company's website, 10-k 2020, MD&A, and various financial websites (e.g., Yahoo, Bloomberg). Is this a growth or mature industry, commodity, or intellectual property intensive industry?Identify at least 2 industry competitors. Use graphs or charts where appropriate.

2. Identify company strategies- What is the value proposition for your company's shareholders, e.g., product diversification, expansion (organic or through acquisition), high customer satisfaction, etc. Present how your company has done over the last 2 years with respect to these success factors (i.e., number of new stores opened). Include a slide on the Porter's Five Forces.

3.Assess the quality of the financial statements- Review the latest financial statements for any accounting quality issues (i.e., discontinued operations, unusual items, peripheral gains/losses, impairments, restructuring charges). Focus on sustainable income. Review the Notes section of the financial statements for litigation, subsequent events, or other issues that might affect the future performance of your company. Use this information to adjust your financial statements for future forecasting.
