Re: Financial Modelling – Revenue Forecasting for business segments

Hello! I am really looking for someone to nudge me in the right direction. Im partaking in the Cfa research challenge this year, and for the financials, we have divided the work among the team members. Im in charge of forecasting future sales and basically the overall sales/revenue part.

Now the company we have this year is a textile manufacturing company, that exports both yarn and apparel in the global market and i am required to do the analysis for each business segment like spinning, apparel, denim etc.

The revenue break up for each segment would look something like this:
– external sales
– Intersegment sales
– Total
– Installed capacity and actual production
– Capacity utilisation
– Item per dozen sold
– Exchange rate

After putting the data from financial statements, what should i do next? How do i determine the financial assumptions? Plus how do i go about with forecasting? I feel completely lost right now, and there are no good videos on youtube that show segment wise sales projection. Any help/advice would be highly appreciated

Thanks
