Financial analysts can also use percentage analysis which involves reducing a series of figures as a percentage of some base amount.[2] For example, a group of items can be expressed as a percentage of net income. When proportionate changes in the same figure over a given time period expressed as a percentage is known as horizontal analysis.[3] Vertical or common-size analysis, reduces all items on a statement to a “common size” as a percentage of some base value which assists in comparability with other companies of different sizes.
