For this assignment you will select a medium-sized private company and one that allows access to its financial statements. You will create investment strategies for this company based on a financial analysis of investment strategies applied in other companies and determine whether the company should stay private or go public. The decision will be based on how the company compares to other companies in the same industry.
Write a 4–5 page paper in which you:
Describe a selected medium-sized private company, its operations, and its associated industry and evaluate these areas to determine whether the company should be publicly traded or not.
You need access to the financial statements of the selected company to complete this assessment.
Analyze four leading financial ratios and how each would affect investment strategies and a decision for a medium-sized private company to go public or stay private.
Evaluate the application of each of the four financial ratios to a selected medium-sized private company based on comparable or benchmark industry ratios.
