Submit a portfolio analysis template and a brief paper outlining the securities and bonds that the XYZ Tech Company might possibly invest in to create a well-diversified investment portfolio. You will analyze each company and its performance in the financial markets over the past five years, include a company valuation for each firm, and identify stakeholders in the company.

Five companies:

 Apple, Inc. (AAPL)

 Caterpillar (CAT)

 Consolidated Edison (ED)

 Northern Trust (NTRS)

 Macy’s (M)

Using the portfolio analysis template, provide the specified data to explain the company’s growth period (revenues, earnings market share, etc.).

Finally, in a 3-page paper, discuss the five-year history of each company by visiting the respective websites and databases covering the firm and industry. The paper should briefly discuss the products and services produced by each company that were major contributors to the company’s success. It should also discuss each company’s strengths given the competitive nature of the industry. Based on the financial items and key ratios of the company that you have researched, include a brief discussion of the company’s valuation. (Hint: The Key Ratios on the Morningstar website list competition and industry ratios and could be downloaded directly into Excel for easier comparison.) You should also identify the key stakeholders, particularly common stakeholders, in the company. Paper should be referenced (APA format) along with Reference page within the paper.
