A procedure in fundamental analysis in
which an analyst compares ratios or line
items in a company's financial statements
over a certain period of time. The analyst
will use his or her discretion when choosing
a particular timeline; however, the decision
is often based on the investing time horizon
under consideration.
For example, when you hear someone
saying that revenues increased by 10% this
past quarter, that person is using
horizontal analysis. Horizontal analysis can
be used on any item in a company's
financials (from revenues to earnings per
share), and is useful when comparing
the performance of various companies.
