Inter-business Comparison

Bayani Gaba-gaba

How do you know whether a 20% gross margin is good? One powerful answer is to look at a similar business. Inter-business comparison sets one firm's ratios beside another's, so strengths and weaknesses stand out that a single set of accounts could never reveal. If one shop earns a better return on its capital, or collects from customers faster, the comparison shows it plainly and points to where the other could improve.

In this lesson you will learn how to compare the ratios of two businesses and draw sensible conclusions about profitability, liquidity and efficiency. Just as importantly, you will learn why such comparisons must be handled with care: different accounting policies, different sizes, different year ends and missing non-financial information can all make a comparison misleading if you ignore them.

Takardar Darasi

A ratio means far more when it has something to be measured against. Comparing a business with a similar rival, or with the typical figures for its trade, shows whether it is leading or lagging. But a careless comparison can mislead just as easily as it informs, so a good analyst knows both how to compare and when a comparison cannot be trusted.
