FIN 571 UP Business Target Corporations Financial Plan Project – Description
Throughout this course you will work towards creating a financial plan for a company as if you were its business manager. This week you will start your research that will be used in the Summative Assessments in Weeks 2, 4, and 6. You will not be able to change your company after this week.
Select a Fortune 500 company or another company you are familiar with. Consider pharmaceuticals, computer hardware, retail, or automotive industries for your selection. If you choose a company that is not in the Fortune 500, ensure that enough financial information and key performance indicator results are available to complete the assignment.
Research financial information and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the company. You may find this information on Yahoo! Finance®, in the University of Phoenix Library Finance Resources, or in other finance resources online. If you are unfamiliar with using Yahoo! Finance, the Yahoo! Finance Navigation Guide provides helpful information on finding some of the KPIs for your company.
Your financial plan will need to include KPIs for your company. Create an outline or chart identifying KPIs and including the following:
The company and its ticker symbol
Cash flow from operations
Price-to-earnings ratio
Stock dividends and the yield, if any
Earnings per share ratio
Revenue estimates for the next 12 months
Revenue from the previous 3 years
Statement of cash flows and identification of net cash from operating, investing, and financing activities over the past 3 years
Average trade volume.
Current stock price, 52-week high, and 1-year estimated stock price
Analysts’ recommendations for the stock (buy, sell, or hold)
Market cap for the company
You will use information from your research in your Week 2 Summative Assessment.
