Help with finding a great stock pitch

Hi community, I am preparing for upcoming interviews and I have been struggling to find a good stock to model and pitch to the institution I am considering working for. My issue is that whenever I find a good pick that is attractive and I can have an original investment thesis, I always see that the company in question is already investing in it. 


Do you guys have any advice on how I can go about it? Should I target a slightly lower or higher capitalization than what they usually target? A completely different industry universe? Appreciative of anyone with recommendations. Thanks
