The updated, real-world guide to interpreting and unpacking GAAP and non-GAAP financial statements
In Financial Statement Analysis, 5th Edition, leading investment authority Martin Fridson returns with Fernando Alvarez to provide the analytical framework you need to scrutinize financial statements, whether you're evaluating a company's stock price or determining valuations for a merger or acquisition. Rather than taking financial statements at face value, you'll learn practical and straightforward analytical techniques for uncovering the reality behind the numbers. This fully revised and up-to-date 5th Edition offers fresh information that will help you to evaluate financial statements in today's volatile markets and uncertain economy. The declining connection between GAAP earnings and stock prices has introduced a need to discriminate between instructive and misleading non-GAAP alternatives. This book integrates the alternatives and provides guidance on understanding the extent to which non-GAAP reports, particularly from US companies, may be biased.
Understanding financial statements is an essential skill for business professionals and investors. Most books on the subject proceed from the questionable premise that companies' objective is to present a true picture of their financial condition. A safer assumption is that they seek to minimize the cost of raising capital by portraying themselves in the most favorable light possible. Financial Statement Analysis teaches readers the tricks that companies use to mislead, so readers can more clearly interpret statements.
Professional analysts, investors, and students will gain valuable knowledge from this updated edition of the popular guide. Filled with real-life examples and expert advice, Financial Statement Analysis, 5th Edition, will help you interpret and unpack financial statements.

PRAISE FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS, FIFTH EDITION

“Once again, Fridson and Alvarez provide analysts and investors with the necessary, but all too often overlooked truth about how to approach financial statement and corporate profit analysis. Anyone who wants to understand business should study the lessons in this book.”
—David Trainer, CEO, New Constructs
“Most financial analysis books are written by academics with limited to no real-life experience. This book is unique since it clearly reflects the extensive practical experience of the authors, along with their knowledge of relevant research. I particularly liked the chapters on data reliability, M&As, fraud, forecasting, and credit analysis. This book is at the top of financial analysis books available, to be used as a text in university financial analysis courses, as well as a source of knowledge to investment professionals.”
— Baruch Lev, Philip Bardes Professor of Accounting and Finance, New York University; author of The End of Accounting and the Path Forward for Investors and Managers
“Over my decades of involvement with high-yield bonds, Marty Fridson has been the leading speaker of truth. As he so accurately states in Financial Statement Analysis, the credit investor is required to engage in a game of cat-and-mouse with company’s management intent on minimizing their cost of capital by putting a positive gloss on their financial statements. The Fifth Edition of Marty’s terrific book is the bible on how to detect and deal with these efforts.”
—Howard Marks, Co-Chairman, Oaktree Capital Management
