Look within in Business Insights: Global
Use the Company Finder search (under the Companies tab in the top menu bar).
In the results list, you will see profile information. Public companies have a ticker symbol, the exchange, SIC and NAICS codes, and fiscal year will be noted.
Hint: If you have only one company and want to find another, use BI:Global to find the SIC/NAICS for the first company, then use the code in the Company search, in the appropriate search box. Doing that will yield a list of companies in the same industry.
Note to Mgt 469 students: Remember to pay attention about the stock exchange; you need to use companies that do not trade OTC.

When you do an industry search, and display the results, ratios are listed under the tab to the far right, "Key Statistics."
