One of the best ways to learn financial analysis

1. Pick the financial statements of your favourite company

2. Now you can go through so many wonderful resources on youtube, online courses , books that teach you the basics of financial statement analysis . But make sure whatever resource you pick it is based on practical examples using real world companies.

3. This is the most important step; apply those financial analysis to the company you have chosen. This is where most people go wrong. They don’t apply their knowledge and as a result their knowledge remains theoretical.

4. Pick another company and repeat the process.

Things to make sure when picking up the right resource:

If you are picking up a book start with a light one like interpretation of financial statement analysis by warren buffet, don’t go straight for heavyweights like Security analysis by Benjamin Graham
If you are looking at youtube videos make sure it is based on real life companies and it is not just teach you a small part of financial analysis.
If you are going for an online course, the advantage is that there will be lots of courses, I suggest to pick like the one at end of this comment which has loads of practical examples using real world companies.
Whatever resource you decide to pick , let me tell you you have the ability to learn financial analysis of any company you desire . The key thing is to practice , practice and practice using financial statements of real world companies.

Pro Tip: Don’t just go for the most popular course, first go through the preview of the course and see what is it contents. For eg. every course of financial analysis talks about ratio analysis but no one talks about corporate life cycle.

What I mean is that analysis of Coca- Cola (which is a very old established company) will be very different than a new start up like Peleton

So be patient , be curious and practice , practice and practice using real companies.

Hope this helps
