CCH's Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios is the first step in helping to determine a company's true measure of performance and value. The comprehensive resource puts 50 comparative performance indicators at the practitioner's command and covers all of North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico) using NAICS data. The Almanac provides financial information that is calculated and derived from the latest available IRS data on nearly 5 million U.S. and international companies. The Almanac gives you accurate performance data for 50 operating and financial factors in 199 industries. Data for each industry is divided into 13 categories based on company size, so you'll find a precise benchmark against which to measure any company's performance. One quick glance at the appropriate field of business and company-size category and you've found the definitive starting point for competitive performance analysis. The Almanac provides competitive norms in actual dollar amounts for revenue and capital factors, such as net receivables, net property, inventories, total assets, portfolio income, and more. It then gives you important average operating costs in percent of net sales, including cost of operations, pensions and benefits, interest, and more. The Almanac provides ratios for industry-wide results for inventory turnover, current assets to working capital, quick ratio, asset turnover, and others. It also provides other critical financial factors in percentages, including debt ratio, return on assets, and return on equity, and profit margin. The Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios comes complete with a CD that reproduces all the materials found on the print volume, plus a special Excel Spreadsheet Template that can be used to input data on a given company to see how a company compares with the data provided in the Almanac.

Valuation of companies,
This review is from: Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios (2006) (Paperback)
Troy's Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios is always a great help in valuation middle sized companies in the U.S. Comparing financial ratios is critical in revealing financial shenanigans. But always remember, make the f/s data at first comparable and then calculate the ratios.
This book is solely a collection of financial ratios and does not include a discussion on the theoretical background. Thus it is only a buy for professionals (i.e., CPAs and investment bankers) involved in valuation projects and investment professionals (e.g., CFA charterholders). For private investors I would recommend the online sources of Barron's and WSJ for a brief comparison of financial ratios.
