Question with finding stock companies' financial reports?
Hi all,
So I've been given this assessment from a PE firm for an upcoming internship opportunity. The task was for me to analyze 1800 companies and choose 100 compelling companies to analyze them. The firm asked for high EBITDA companies and explain why the 100 chosen firms are compelling in their fields and finally come up with an analysis report. So I figured that requires me to have access to financial reports. Therefore I spent a couple hours searching on the SEC site to find out whether a company is public or not because only public companies would reveal its statements right? out of the company list I was left with around 150 companies that have SEC records. However, I was having a hard time finding financial statements or more information about the company through NASDAQ and NYSE. Which didn't make sense to me because I assumed that if a company were to have the current year records on SEC, then it would also mean that it is on the stock market? Am I going into the wrong direction with this assessment or what? I'm pretty stuck here now so any advice or support would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks!!!
Best,

I would be weary of "tasks" like those. In most cases (especially if the "firm" is 1-2 employees), they are looking for free work, and have no intentions of hiring you as an intern. Think about it this way-- say the company sends out 15 of these "tasks" to students, they just got an analysis on a ton of companies for free. Genius if you come to think of it.
I say this because I was in a similar position last month, and opted out of completing this "task" because it seemed a little suspicious. Just giving you my two cents.
Thanks for the heads up, would definitely be cautious of it!
If this is for Mikhail Capital, I would avoid
