Stock write up for ER final round interview !

For a BB ER , it may be a combination of technical and fit, largely depending on who you interview with. I went through five interviews with the entire ladder and got a mix all the way through. Meeting with the Associates tends to be technical and cookie cutter interviews, the Analyst, more fit and 'how do you think/problem solve' questions.
Although, with direct experience, one of the guys laughed and said, well all my normal questions will be too easy, so give me a minute to come up with something to try and stump you. Even got the old 3:15 on a watch question too.

I would approach it by getting as much of the analysts research as I can, and then trying to emulate their style, up to and including phrasing and terminology. In that, if they talk about the Bull and Bear case for a stock, you talk about the bull and bear case, if they phrase something a certain way, now you do too. Small detail, use their formatting for Q1/12 or 1Q/12 or Q1/2012, little shit like that helps, makes you seem more like them, and folks typically like people like themselves.

For these purposes I'd include: -Two sentences on what the company is (depending of course on what company, shorter or longer).
-Your thesis is why the company is a good investment, maybe it's got under represented growth potential, great dividend stream, overly discounted cash flow etc. One of my favorites is the over sold stock, 'our investment thesis on XXX-O is that while the company remains intrinsicly valued at XXx/share based on (insert valuation methodolgy) the stock has decreased in price by XXX%, creating a low risk buying opportunity, with an estimated XX% projected return on investment. -I'd put the valuation methodology before risks -I like key catalysts, what's going to happen to make the stock move, and when, investors care about when, because if this stock won't move for nine months, maybe we don't buy it for eight, and go for some other trades in the meantime. -Risks: lots of guys cookie cutter this shit, even in industry, might be appropriate, might be worth explaining the downside of the catalysts here. for bonus points, and it might not work for your stock, but if you're doing a sum of the parts style valuation, you could put a price tag/share in each risk (for that matter, catalysts too).

IMPORTANT: You have one page, brevity is key, don't flood the page with facts, make points. Infact,make 3-5 points, that's all anyone can remember anyway.
