Give me an example of how I can practically use VizDam?
Imagine you're considering buying stock in a giant pharmaceutical company. You've found some financial information about the company online, but you want to see how it stacks up against other companies in the same industry. Here's where VizDam comes in! With VizDam, it's super easy. Just pick P/E ratio as the stat you're interested in, choose Pharma for the industry, and hit go. VizDam will then show you how the P/E ratio for the entire pharmaceutical industry has changed over time. If your chosen company consistently has a better P/E ratio than the industry average, that's a good sign! It means it might be a good investment. You can repeat this process for other financial measurements, like growth rate. The more info you gather, the better picture you'll get of how your company compares to its competitors. VizDam helps you build a strong understanding of a company's financial health compared to its industry peers.
