Using Verizon and Comcast, determine the free cash flow from 2016 and 2017. What inference can you draw from the companies free cash flow? Using the 2018 and 2019 financial statements for both stocks, prepare two financial ratios for each of the following categories: liquidity ratios, asset management ratios, and profitability ratios. You should have a total of six ratios for each stock, per year. What challenges, strengths, or weaknesses do you see? Having some trouble with this one, any help will do. Thanks!
