This assignment was given for student doing Financial Management 1 (BBPW 3103).
This report is based on an analysis of the financial performance of Two Malaysian Companies by using their financial statements for the year 2011. The global steel industry has continued to face a challenging period since 2011. Mainly due to the higher inputs costs and also increase in external environment. Thus, for this assignment I have chosen two leading companies in Malaysian steel industry. Namely: CCSC Steel Holdings BERHAD and Mycron Steel Berhad. These two companies are closely competing in Malaysian steel Industry. According to the Malaysian Iron and Steel Industry Federation (MISIF), the domestic steel industry has slightly fallen.
Furthermore, an in depth analysis and evaluation of the above two companies would be made followed by a close comparison of those two companies performance based on my findings along with a justification of which company has done better in my view.
This assignment consists 40% of our final course grade.
