Abstract
Some retail companies are so preoccupied with the business of selling that they tend to forget how their own company's performance compares with those of others. In this article Leslie Chadwick looks at four specific ratios — profitability, asset utilisation, liquidity and gearing, in three retail sectors — department stores, High Street traders and Home Improvements and DIY.
