Analysis
Financial Statement Analysis for a Renewable Energy Firm
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Your team must analyze SunPower's last three years of financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement) and ESG reports. Calculate key ratios (liquidity, solvency, profitability, efficiency), perform a DuPont analysis, and assess earnings quality. Then, write a 2-page executive summary with a recommendation on acquisition price range (based on comparable companies) and key risks. Success means a data-driven, well-supported recommendation. Constraints: use publicly available data only; assume no insider information.
