6-1 Discussion: In the News: How Companies Handle Investment Risks
Use the Shapiro Library database to locate a company (excluding Caterpillar, Inc.) that is currently (within the last three years) dealing with business/investment risk. For a recent example, consider how Apple has expanded its iPhone production to Bangalore, India. What were the risks?
Pull yearly financial statements (10-Ks) for the company that you are interested in, and analyze items 1A (Risk Factors) and 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations). In your initial post, address the following:
•Identify the company and summarize the risk situation for your classmates.
•Explain any political or country risk involved.
•How well did the company handle the risk situation? What did they do well? What could they have done better?
Use the following website link source be for research. I will also upload additional attachement for the Shapiro Library database titled “Apple’s Risky Balancing Act with the next iPhone”:
