Sector/Industry Coverage

Currently in a finance club and one of the projects we were assigned was to pick a stock (market cap 2bn-10bn) to research and present. I have taken lower level macro/micro economics classes but I have not taken any finance classes yet so my ability to perform quantitative analysis is a work in progress.

I understand the best one to analyze is what interest me most (financials/banks) but I've heard those can be the most challenging to analyze. What sector/industry would be best to analyze for a beginner?
