Equity quant research interviews - will I be asked to pitch a stock?

Have a systematic LO equity background and am interviewing for a quant research role partnering with fundamental PMs. Have not had to do a stock pitch since my intern days and even that was for options...pls help as I was going to focus on probability/leetcode qs.
