A STUDY ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION USING RATIO ANALYSIS
Financial performance evaluation is a critical component of corporate decision-making, enabling stakeholders to assess operational efficiency, profitability, liquidity, and solvency. This study explores the application of ratio analysis as a comprehensive tool for evaluating financial performance. Using secondary financial data, key ratios such as liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, leverage ratios, and activity ratios are analyzed. The study further incorporates statistical tools including hypothesis testing, regression analysis, and ANOVA to validate relationships between financial indicators and firm performance. The findings reveal that ratio analysis, when integrated with statistical methods, provides deeper insights into financial health and strategic positioning. The research contributes to academic literature and offers practical implications for investors, managers, and policymakers.
