FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS (Approximately 2 pages) – Provide an analysis of the horizontal, common size, and ratio data. Delta and Frontier Air Line and Industry Averages.  Examine recommendations of other investment websites (buy/sell/hold). Use the references below too! 

 

1A: For Section 3, the rubric specifically asks for  analysis of three types of financial data: Delta and Frontier Air Line 

· Horizontal analysis (e.g., year-over-year $ and % changes) 

· Common-size (vertical) analysis (e.g., expenses or profit shown as a % of sales) 

· Financial ratios (e.g., current ratio, profit margin) 

 

1B. C ompare Delta to Frontier using these metrics directly and, ideally, mention how they stack up to  industry averages if we can find them. 

 

1C: A nalyze the numbers from the tables and show what they mean by investing. We need to add those side-by-side comparisons and calculated insights to align with the rubric.
