Please provide an overview, five-year trend and comparative analysis of a public company (American Airline Group) and its peer group. Analysis will include:
• A critical assessment of firm performance using the DuPont ROE model and market performance metrics;
• Assessment of working capital management and financing using the cash conversion cycle;
• Credit analysis;
• Assessment of the firm’s capital structure.
Please note that there are 3 stages in this project and all 3 stages have different due dates.
Stage 1 – 26th of Jan
Stage 2 – 11th of Feb
Stage 3 – Same as Stage 2
Grading will be based on the quality of analysis and commentary, not just ability to perform quantitative analysis. Originality and judgement in application of methods will also be a major consideration. Analysis will be submitted in three installments:
Stage 1: Performance measurement;
Stage 2: Working capital;
Stage 3: Credit analysis and capital structure, conclusions, recommendations.
