How Do I Find SWOT Analyses?

DBRS Morningstar

The Rating Reports in DBRS often include sections that address the strengths and challenges of a company, country (i.e. sovereigns), or organization. NOTE: Although the word "SWOT" does not appear in the rating reports, the content of the report may still be relevant for such an analysis. 

1. Select Search and type in a company name (e.g., Dollarama), country name (e.g., Norway) or oranization name (e..g. McMaster University)
2. On the Results page, select Credit Rating Report from the Content Type filter on the left. Review the results in the Research tab and click on a report title to view a rating report.
3.  On the Rating Report screen, go to the Available Documents section and select the PDF link to view the report.
4.  The report should include headings with Rating Drivers and Rating Considerations which assess the positive and negative factors affecting a company, country or organization. Other sections of a rating report that could inform a SWOT analysis include Business Risk Assessment, Financial Risk Assessment, Intrinsic Assessment, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Considerations and Comprehensive Business Risk.
