Undergrad Equity Research Report Critique

Hey guys, I am currently a sophomore undergraduate student at a smaller state school. Although my career interest is more within IB and especially M&A I have done a variety of different personal projects to learn and build useful skills. One of these projects is an equity research report that I built for NVIDIA based on my own extensive research and financial modeling. Beginning in the fall I will be part of an intensive investment management program at my school so I will have access to more resources and specific oversight but I would like to get critiques on the finished project here as well. I appreciate the time and consideration. Thanks

Heads up - delete all the personal identifiers on that report if you are posting here. Take out your name / e-mail / school. Unless you are keen to make your profile on WSO quite public.

Honestly didn't really read the report because it is pretty long. I don't doubt it is a good report, but if you are using that to network some people will love it and others will hate it and totally ignore it. Consider condensing the report into a shortened 1-2 page version that you can send out or bring into interviews more readily.

Congrats on joining the investment fund, you will learn a good amount on top of your current skillset.
