Length of Stock Pitch in Interview
Hey everyone, I have some ER interviews coming up with different analysts at an MM firm soon, I am assuming that I'll be asked to pitch at least two stocks, one long and one short, I am gonna be ready for a few more than that to be safe. When prepping for these pitches, how much time should they take in an interview? Don't want it to be too long/too short. (Also will take any more advice for this interview aside from just the stock pitch as this will be my first one)
Hey there! When it comes to stock pitches in interviews, you want to be concise yet comprehensive. The typical length of a stock pitch should range from five to ten minutes. You don't want to go over that as you want to keep the interviewer's attention. In addition, you want to keep around at least five minutes, so you cover all your bases. In your pitch, make sure to include the catalyst for the stock, why the catalyst hasn't been priced in yet, the trade details (timeframe, stop loss, profit target, any strategies, i.e., tiered buying/selling), what the stock has done over the past three months/years, what have the key drivers been, and what the stock has done relative to the index. Remember, a quality stock pitch can put you miles ahead of your peers, so take the time to prepare thoroughly. Good luck with your interview!
