Topic:

Currenly there are 155 companies in the industrials sector listed on the ASX.  Choose one of the companies from the list and prepare a credit rating report for the company. Please write your selected company name, your name and your student ID on the front page of your report. The current list of the industrials companies can be found from the following link: https://www.listcorp.com/asx/sectors/industrials. If your chosen company is not from the list, your mark of this assignment will be zero.

Instructions:  

  1. In this assignment, you are required to conduct a capacity analysis and the Altman Z score analysis for the company's overall creditworthiness. 

You capacity analysis should include the following three parts: a) Industry structure analysis

    1. Industry fundamental analysis
    2. Ratio analysis
  1. In the part of ratio analysis, you are required to compute the eight historical financial ratios, as shown in the table below. You should also forecast these ratios for the next year, compare your forecasted ratios to the ratios shown below in the table, and recommend an appropriate credit rating accordingly. I recommend that you should use as least past three year’s financial data for your analayis. 
  2. You should make your forecast that is based on both the company's fundamental information and the industry report obtained from the databases such as DatAnalysis Premium and IBISWorld
  3. You need to choose an appropriate Z score model to compute the current Z score and forecast the Z score for the next year. You should also indicate the financial status of the company based on your forecasted Z score. 

 

 

 

 

Note: To make your result comparable to the debt ratios shown in the last two columns, please use net debt for your calculation. Net debt is equal to the difference between a company's interest-bearing liabilities minus cash or cash equivalents.
