what stocks to choose for buyside pitches as an associate
Currently a 1st year associate in ER, for buyside interviews is there a recommendation on how many companies you should be able to pitch? If I choose a couple that are what my analyst covers to what degree can I use the numbers in our model, especially if I had a big input into them? Just a bit worried that choosing companies we cover might make it look like im piggybacking off their work.
I would say you're right - it does imply piggybacking and also that you don't/cannot create original ideas which is essential for the role. Definitely try to pitch something new imo
As long as the idea is super compelling and you know the business inside out, I don't see any problem using names in your space (in fact, it demonstrates you have expertise in at least one sector). Just make sure to align to the style of fund you are interviewing - don't pitch a deep value name to a growth shop and don't pitch a pre-profitability name to a deep value shop, etc.
