Bloomberg - Equities. Industry and company analysis

This is an introduction to the functions withing the Bloomberg Terminal that allow to research equities and do company and industry analysis. Example used: Maersk and liner shipping industry

FA

 

  • FA function shows accounting information;
  • FA function shows financial data of the selected security;
  • This function can be used to investigate earnings volatility. The recommended practice is to choose a large public company.

 

  • Example: Maersk’s net income chart shows periods of positive and negative earnings.

 

Segmentation

  • FA function provides more information about the selected security;
  • There is no explanation for why the data in the columns are missing, unfortunately.

Reflection based on the thesis project: the knowledge of which countries bring the most revenue to the company, narrowed down our data collection and made our choice more informed.
