Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis is a financial modeling technique that examines how a company’s performance reacts to changes in key assumptions. Imagine it as a financial stress test. You adjust factors like interest rates, sales figures, or costs, and see how these changes impact the bottom line. This helps identify critical factors and potential risks. By understanding how sensitive the forecast is to these changes, companies can make more informed decisions and prepare for various economic scenarios.
