Corrections to be made:
1. *Analysts’ recommendations for the stock (buy, sell, hold): Slide 12 – INCORRECT – Go to Walmart’s main Yahoo Finance page. Scroll down and look towards the bottom right for a colorful bar chart. Under that chart is the RECOMMENDATION RATING. State the figure and whether it is closer to a buy, sell or hold OR you can simply take a screenshot of that graphic. Remove everything else from the slide and the notes. This requirement is still incorrect. Please review the previous feedback as to the location of the figure. All you need to do is state the figure and whether it is closer to a buy, sell or hold.
Discussions: Must be substantial and answer the question completely. (min 4-5 sentences), include validation (facts and figures), and answer the question completely. Use complete sentences.
2. *Stock Price vs PE Ratio: Slide 14: You are close on this discussion. Is your stock over, under or fairly valued accordingly to Yahoo and why (ie est ret)? This information is located under the Avg Volume figure on Walmart’s main Yahoo Finance page.
3. *Market Cap: Slide 15: You are close on this discussion as well, Include the numerical size criteria for small, mid and large cap firms.
4. *Trends Analysis with regard to stock price, dividends and stockholder’s equity: Slide 16 – INCORRECT – copy and paste the table below to your slide and then include the discussion within the notes. Fill in the details. State a time frame (ie last 3 years). All indicators must use the same time frame, so choose year-end dates for your firm (based upon your equity dates – so fill those in first). State the beginning figures, ending figures, % change and the reason for trend over that time period for EACH indicator (stock price, dividends and stockholders equity). Use the historical tab for the stock price and dividends. For stock price, use the ADJUSTED close prices for each date. For dividends, use the dividends paid RIGHT AFTER those dates. For stockholder’s equity, click the Financials tab, the blue Balance Sheet link and the Total Equity Gross Minority arrow. This will open up your stockholder’s equity figures. Make sure to add 3 zeros to the equity figures or include a statement that they are posted “in thousands” next to the word “Equity”. To calculate % change = (End Figure-Beg Figure)/Beg Figure. For the discussion, set the foundation. What occurred as to recent events/market conditions over your time period? How did this affect your firm? How did this affect demand? Once you set this foundatin, then you can discuss the % change figures and the reasons for those increases/decreases based upon demand, profits and cash flow.
(see attached word document for the table needed)
5. *Recommendation: Slide 17 – INCORRECT – This is a financial recommendation. Start over on this discussion. First, tell me whether or not you recommend the stock. Then, choose 5-6 key indicators from above that support your recommendation (with the exception of analysts recommendation as their opinion does not matter on this slide – you are the analyst). State the indicator, the figure and how it supports your recommendation. Numerical justification is required on this slide. Only use information from this presentation. These statements should be brief, yet concise. For example (assuming you recommend this stock): Market cap of 482.27B implies this is a large firm with stability and lower risk. Handle each statement in that manner. Handle this slide last, after all of your data has been corrected above. Yes, you can use market cap.
