discuss other factors beyond financial ratios when assessing a company
financial health

Financial ratios only provide an accounting measure of the company's
performance. An analyst also needs to be mindful of the company's
competitive status, its prospects for growth, any changes in
technology, legal status or regulatory requirements that can influence
the company's long-term prospects
