A Financial Comparative Analysis of Garment Enterprise

Abstract

Under the environment of fast-growing economies, people start to learn more about the fundamental basis of our financial system. With people drawing more attention to the financial world, stock, the most popular and well-known financial security, appears to be involved in many people’s lives. Over 6000 companies issue stocks that are traded in the US stock market. Thus, choosing a healthy, potential, and well-developed company has become a heated topic in the financial world. For this reason, this article chooses three well-known and influential companies (Nike, Lululemon, and Chipotle) to analyze and compare performances of their stocks. By achieving the goal, this article combines the traditional fundamental analysis, which is based on the financial information from companies’ financial statements, with comparative analysis, which is based on the time horizon to evaluate stock’s performance under different time periods. In conclusion, conservative investors who invest in a longer time period can prefer Nike and Lululemon for their excellent financial numbers and good reputations, while short-term investors or technical day traders prefer to choose Chipotle for its predictability on the patterns on the chart.
