    Both GSK and competitor AZN trading mainly on LSE. So it should not be an issue after all, right?

    Should I translate AZN’s report using their given average exchange rate for ease of comparison?

    Hi all,

    I’m studying GSK for Topic 8 and is already knee deep into it, but I just realized that other competitors has it’s FS in mostly USD, while only GSK is stated in £.

    While my mentor suggested to use the US translation provided by GSK, I noticed that the increase in average USD exchange rate skewed up the results. E.g: Increase in Revenue became decrease after translation.

    Any advice on how to tackle this issue? Should I continue using the USD translation results or should I just use £ as per Annual report? If latter, how should I then compare it with the competitor? **Edit: I did use different currencies before this, but found it confusing when doing P/E & Dividend Yield. If one is based on LSE and another NYSE, won’t these ratios be somewhat not comparable?

    Sorry if I repeated a question, I can’t seem to find any answers from the previous posts.
