Financial Ratios
Industry ratios (print resources)
The best industry ratios are still available only in print. The most important ones are:
Industry Norms & Key Business Ratios(REF HF 5681 R25)
Published annually by Dun & Bradstreet this is the most widely used of our books in this area.
Arrangement is 4 digit SIC number. There are various ways to locate SIC numbers but one of the easiest is to
use the Standard Industrial Classification Manual (the latest edition is kept at the
Circulation/Reserve Desk).
Annual Statement Studies (REF HF 5681 B2 R63)
Less comprehensive than Industry Norms....but still a major source for industry ratios. Use the 4 digit
SIC numbers as wll as the 6 digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
The NAICS is now used by the U.S. government as the replacement for the Standard Industrial Classification
system. A guide to this system is kept in Reference. The tile of the book is NAICS/SIC CODE(REF HF 1042 N677).
Almanac of Business and Industrial Financial Ratios(REF HF 5681 R 25 A45)
Uses data from IRS filings. For this reason, the numbers are generally three years older than from
the other two titles described above.
