Hi all, I have a 4 hour case study in person next week. For those who have had these types of cases in the past, should I expect that it will be on a Company in the sector I’m interviewing for? For additional context, the debrief after is with the PM

They will hand you a stack of 10k/qs and earnings releases and transcripts, maybe a comp table, and a locked computer with only excel and no internet, and ask you to come up with a view on the stock. You will have to process the material and build a model and take a stance. Have heard that it can be any company and not necessarily within the coverage universe you are interviewing for. There are a few threads on this on WSO already. Meant to be pretty intensive, and have heard varying strategies regarding how thorough the model should be (full 3 statement vs. "3 statement light" w/most focus on income statement) - best of luck
Thanks! Yes have looked through the various threads but appreciate you mentioning them as they were definitely helpful. Noted on the industry.
Just to circle back here - it ended up being in the same industry. Passed tho!
Great job! Can I ask how fleshed out your model was? Did you do a full 3 statement integrated or mostly focus on income with a thoughtful topline and margin build? Also did you just build to some forward EPS and slap a range of multiples on it?
What was the turnaround like from when you started interviewing to receiving your offer after the case study?
Seconding the above. What was the recruiting process like up until this point?

I answered my own question above. It ended up being within the same industry
