Abstract:
Pakistan Tobacco Company was the first multinational to set up its business in Pakistan in 1947 when it took over
imperial tobacco of India and began its operations out of a warehouse near Karachi Port. Through these 65 years PTC
has demonstrated in the development of the country. It is a major source of revenue, employment and foreign
exchange for the economy and thus contributes to the Gross Domestic Product. Thus we have chosen PTC to base our
financial analysis on.
We prepared by first making a strategic plan that is to collect data, process it and then present it with the use of
graphs and charts. We look over both the firm and the industry, there ratios, values, statements etc. after getting all
the information we started working on them collectively and then finally compiled it. The extent of project will take a
lot of effort and time so we decided to start early. In the end we give our opinion of which company is better in the
light of the ratios calculated and the analysis done.
In the interest of space, we have decided to exclude the graphs from this report. All of the related excel files have
been burned onto the accompanying cd along with detailed charts and graphs.
