Stock pitch interview question
Wassup everyone, Have a final round ER SA 2021 interview coming up, and I have zero idea how to go about finding stocks to prepare pitches for. It seems like most people on wallstreetoasis think it's a good idea to pitch stocks that aren't huge companies (apple, tesla, etc.) How should I go about finding smaller companies to pitch?
Any advice on how to go about researching these companies and stocks would be extremely appreciated.
EQIX REIT is a personal fave alongside Enphase
Pitch something in an industry that you understand.
It depends if you are interviewing for a generalist or sector-specific role. If it’s sector specific, I’d pick a stock from the coverage you are interviewing for. Otherwise, pick a stock from a sector you have an interest in.
As far as your pitch goes - it doesn’t have to be the next “big short” as I’d assume expectations will be relatively low, but there are a couple of points you should hit:
1) Basic introduction (ticker, mkt cap, valuation)
2) Business description (aka how the company makes money)
3) Hit the 3 main points why you’d go long/short.
Hope that helps, and good luck!
OP here. Thanks so much. This is very helpful
I watch Bloomberg TV+ read the news a lot (I'm assuming you do the same). There's always an interesting stock that comes up=> they discuss catalysts, analyst expectations, macro environment, price target, valuation etc. Great place to start your research (in my opinion).
Great thanks!
