Problem
I am writing a financial analysis on NVIDIA and Intel based on their most recent 10k reports and need help writing it.
a) Where is each company in its corporate lifecycle (startup, growth, maturity or decline)? Explain.
b) Based on your review of the analysts' reports and the 10-K reports, which company appears to have more risk? Why?
c) Which categories of risk pose the greatest threat to each organization? Why?
d) Which company has the stronger economic moat? Explain.
e) For the company that has the weaker economic moat, what two risk factors should they prioritize to improve their risk mitigation and strengthen their competitive advantage? Make specific reference to the applicable risk-management tools discussed on pages 30-63 of The CFO Guidebook.
