Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'financial' (relating to money/finance) + 'analysis' (systematic examination), so the phrase straightforwardly denotes an examination of financial matters such as company accounts. This noun-noun compositional pattern is common across languages and follows standard English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Financial analysis combines financial (about money) and analysis (looking closely at details). Think of it like a doctor checking tests: people check a company's numbers to see its 'health', so financial analysis means studying the numbers to judge a company's profit and stability.
