I need 2 small writing assignments completed before Nov 2nd. Both projects will be checked for originality before payment is released.

Assignment 1:

For this activity you will write a short one page to one and a half page paper on a firm of your choosing meeting the following criteria:

Publicly traded

You can provide a link to the firm’s profile and financial summary (similar to what can be found in Yahoo finance (Links to an external site.)). Note: this can be other websites and non U.S. stocks can be used as well

An announcement that a firm has split, repurchased, dividend, or other payout discussed in the module’s readings in the past 3 months. The announcement could include the announcement of a firm cancelling their dividend payments as well as the various payouts.

For the selected firm provide a brief profile of the firm including the primary businesses/industry of the firm. Provide an overview of the industry. Address issues such as whether the firm is considered being in a growth industry, mature industry and the role/impact your firm has on the industry.

Discuss the payout strategy selected by your firm. What did the firm announce? Why did the firm make the announcement? Based on your study of dividends and other payouts does the strategy make sense? What signals is management sending with the announcement? Do you agree with the decision? As a shareholder would you be pleased with the announcement? Why or why not?

Assignment 2:

Your paper will be in the range of 2 to 3 pages formatted similarly to the examples provided. References

must be included and those should be referenced using the latest APA guidelines.

The examples are not all the same but there are some common themes. Most include a brief discussion

of the industry and industry outlook and where the firm being analyzed stands and performs in the

industry. You will not that ratio analysis is often used but the ratios may vary by industry. In other

words the key ratios used to analyze firms in industry “A” are not the same ratios used to analyze firms

in industry “B”.

Valuation is often considered using more than one method. Discounted cash flows may be used in

conjunction with an appropriate ratio (again the ratio likely varies across industry). How does the

current share price compare to what your analysis values the stock?

Risk, growth potential, payout policy, and other factors are other items that may be discussed in the

reports. These all play a role in analyzing a firm and may signal management’s belief on future value of

the firm. Those may be items you will want to discuss in your report. Do not forget the threats that the

firm faces as well. There is no firm that does not face competition. Those threats should be considered.

You have been provided with a list of supplemental sources in the course content. This includes sources

available through the Hunt Library one of which is S&P Net Advantage. S&P Net Advantage provides

some very useful industry reports which may help you determine how firms in a particular industry are

analyzed. There are other sources you can feel free to use as well.

The big question is why buy the stock you have selected. You do not have a lot of space to complete this

project. You will need to be concise and to the point in your writing. Provide tables as you see fit and

other graphs/charts that support you position. Note, the examples may include recommendations to

buy, sell, or hold. Your report must be for an opportunity you believe is a buy.
