HOSPITAL STAFFING SERVICES, INC.: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis (Financial Performance Series)

For over 20,000 companies, Icon Group uses a proprietary methodology to generate international benchmarks and measure gaps that might be revealed from such an exercise. First, for a given company Icon Group searches across over 26,000 firms for others producing similar products, offering similar services, or are in the same stage of the value chain for a particular industrial classification. We then collect the financials for each of these firms and standardize these into comparable categories (assets, liabilities, income and ratios). From there, we eliminate all currency effects by standardizing within each category and country. All benchmarks are updated quarterly.
