Go to Yahoo FinanceLinks to an external site.
Review the financial statements of a public company Under “Get Quotes”, type in the symbol of a public corporation. For instance, F is Ford Motor Co. Symbols can be looked up as well on Yahoo!. Then hit “Get Quotes”. After you’ve gone to the company’s webpage, take a look at the financial information on the company. Discuss your thoughts as to how well the company is run from a financial standpoint.
Consider corporations in more than one sector of the economy. For example, you might look at FPL (Florida Power and Light, GF (General Foods), CVS (CVS Pharmacy), etc. The more diverse your companies are, the more others can learn from your research.
