At an investment bank as a financial analyst.
Make an analysis of the 2008 Mattel Inc's Income Statement and a recommendation as to what role the bank should take on the shares of the company (buy, hold, sell). Use in the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Notes the details given.
1) In the Income Statement, evaluate each item and write down your interpretation of the progression of the 2008 numbers relative to 2009.
2) By planning a list of the significant adjustments (with $ values) that you expect to take place with the Company's Income Statement in 2009, plan an EPS forecast for 2009.
3) Take the 2008 Income Before Taxes as a basis for your estimate and adapt it to what you expect would take place in 2009. Your bank's prediction is that the global economy will continue to be in trouble during the year.
4) Take some of the company's potential in 2009 and 2010 overall to make your recommendation.
