 DATA ON COMPARABLE COMPANIES
I. Getting data on related companies
• Pick Equity
• Choose 1. Finding Securities
• Choose Ticker Symbol Look up
• Enter the name of your company
• Once you are in equity screen for your company, enter
• Fundamentals and Earnings Analysis
• Choose Relative Value (RV): You can modify the data that is printed out.

31
 II. Using Bloomberg to get Sector Data or to Screen Stocks
• Start with this screen by typing “ESRCH”

32
• Pick the industry group you want to analyze or collect data from

• Pick the market that you want to analyze

33
• Pick the data you want in your dataset

Warning: This is not the friendliest interface in the world. You will often find yourself building elaborate criteria for 20 minutes and then losing
them all because you hit the menu button twice instead of once. I would suggest saving the criteria under Save Set as you go along and assigning
the criteria set a name. I would also suggest adding the company name to your data set - the default is only the ticker symbols, which are tough to
expand, and keeping your data sets manageable with 3-4 variables.
