The thesis presents a financial analysis. I did not find any analytical mistakes and the author did a good job when searching for and applying the methods of financial analysis. The author goes beyound what is a "classical" financial analysis and uses a number of original indicators. That is the bright side of the bachelor thesis. However, I also have many remarks, which are mostly formal, but the issues deteriorate the quality of the thesis. The goal is not mentioned and thus the thesis lacks a clear purpose (the rationale for the thesis in the Introduction is rather weak). There are MANY grammatical mistakes ("Follow that,...", "Following the formular,..."). I instructed the author to correct them, which was apparently not done carefully. The author displays good capabilities to work with the literature. Nevertheless, as I said to the author, "golden balance rules"
seems to be a Czechism (or Germanism, see "Goldene Bilanzregel"). There is no English equivalent for this. I would stick more with the Anglo-Saxon literature. From the formal viewpoint, it should also be noted that some table headings are above the table (Tab. 22), some below (Tab. 23) - it should be consistent - and I dont' like very much when time series goes from the higher year (2020) to the lower years (2016). It is conventional to start with 2016 and go to 2020 (e.g. Table 17).
Finally, the SWOT analysis is not really correct because in the "Opportunities" section, the author suggests possible strategic actions. However, in a SWOT analysis, "Opportunity" is an external factor that can be leveraged, not a possible action. Thus, my additional question for the defense is: Could the author present a corrected SWOT analysis?
