Financial Report Analysis

Goal

Generate a Chinese Markdown financial-report analysis for ordinary investors, written from the perspective of a senior financial analyst, fund manager, and investment-bank analyst. Save the final .md file under the current project's markdown/ directory.

Workflow

  1. Ingest the report.

    • Accept a URL, PDF, HTML filing, text file, spreadsheet, or local document.
    • Prefer official sources: SEC/EDGAR, exchange filings, company investor-relations pages, audited annual reports, and earnings releases.
    • For recent market prices, current valuation multiples, analyst estimates, regulation, or news-sensitive facts, verify with current web sources and cite them.
    • If the report is long, extract the table of contents, MD&A, financial statements, notes, risk factors, segment data, cash-flow statement, and accounting-policy notes first.
  2. Build the data spine before writing opinions.

    • Identify reporting period, currency, accounting standard, consolidation scope, restatements, and comparability issues.
    • Extract revenue, gross profit, operating profit, net income, EPS, operating cash flow, free cash flow, capex, cash, debt, equity, AR, inventory, goodwill, R&D, share count, segment/geographic revenue, and management guidance.
    • Compare year over year and, when available, sequentially. State whether each conclusion comes from reported data, calculation, management commentary, or external verification.
  3. Read references/analysis-framework.md when preparing the analysis.

    • Use it as the checklist for core questions, accounting traps, hidden risks, business-model transitions, valuation scenarios, and Tesla-style deep-dive questions.
    • Do not paste the checklist mechanically; select what matters for the company and explain why.
  4. Write for two audiences at once.

    • Give institutional-quality judgment, but explain specialist terms in plain language at first use.
    • For every important ratio or accounting term, add the business logic: "why this number matters", "what can go wrong", and "what a normal investor should check next".
    • Use examples and counterexamples when they clarify a causal chain.
  5. Produce an investment-reference view, not personalized financial advice.

    • Provide a clear stance such as 积极关注, 中性观望, 谨慎, or 回避, with explicit assumptions.
    • Separate base, bull, and bear cases. Explain what evidence would make the view change.
    • If valuation depends on speculative businesses, value the mature business and option-like business separately.
  6. Save the output.

    • Create markdown/ in the current project if needed.
    • Use a deterministic filename such as markdown/<company>-<period>-financial-report-analysis.md.
    • Include source links or local file names, extraction date, and a short limitation note for missing or unaudited data.

Quality Bar

  • Be sharp, but do not overclaim. Tie every strong opinion to report data, historical comparison, peer comparison, management disclosure, or authoritative external evidence.
  • Do not generalize from one isolated example. If using cases such as 康美药业, Enron, WorldCom, WeWork, GE, Amazon AWS, Apple services, Adobe subscription transition, or Netflix content-capex debates, state what the case proves and what it does not prove.
  • Surface assumptions. If an assumption breaks, provide the alternative interpretation instead of forcing the original thesis.
  • Distinguish accounting profit from cash profit, growth from growth quality, and valuation from business quality.
  • For Chinese output, keep professional terms in Chinese with English abbreviations where useful, for example 经营活动现金流 OCF and 自由现金流 FCF.
