Beginner Investing - Trend (Horizontal) Analysis



Follow-Ups to Answer from Expert kkemper

It's fine that it shows up being negative. The horizontal analysis expresses an item in relationship to that same item for a previous base year. So if it shows up being -23% it simply means that the number decreased by 23% from the year it was being compared to.
