First response from Marie Guitierez:
I have chosen J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. as my company of choice to review their cash flow statement because I simply know someone who is employed by them. I was curious to know whether or not they are financially stable due to demands of the supply chain industry. I used finance.yahoo.com as the source to obtain the company’s quarterly financial information.
J.B. Hunt’s annual cash flow statement 2018, 2019, 2020 shows their operating cash flow, end cash position, and free cash flow increased each year. Its capital expenditure, although negative, has decreased each year. Furthermore, the decrease in debt issuance is due to repayment of debt which also provides a decrease each year. In looking at the company’s income statement, tells me that the company is performing financially well.

Second response from Nicole Perez:
Cash Flow by definition shows the net flows of cash that are used to fund the company and its capital . The three types of cash flows are operating cash flows , cash flows from investments , and cash flows from financing . The company I chose to write about is one of my favorite stores to buy clothing, the name is Fashion Nova, corporation is Nova LifeStyle inc. Fahion Nova is one of the internets number one online clothing stores , with it’s concept being fast fashion for a fraction of the cost and often emulating and gathering inspiration from celebrities. I was able to locate the companies balance sheet from Yahoo search . It looks like the company made more money in 2019 than in 2020. In 2018 Fashion Nova increased their sales by 600% and has over 450 million net worth .With their estimated annual revenue being 293.4 million , it is hard to believe this company grew so rapidly within three years starting in 2018 and now makes roughly 10 million per month . I wonder where this company will be in another two years.
