You only have a short amount of time to reply to the question, so you must be brief. What parts of the company should one focus on when asked the question in an interview?

Here is my take:
Assuming you have done your research.
I think the question relates to the firm you're applying for, not pitching a stock. Although telling a guy you have a negative outlook for the company you're applying for and think their stock price isn't justified could be pretty hilarious.
That's just blatant brownnosing, and all but one or two firms don't have enough of a history to even be worth mentioning.
That's about what I'd say. I try to focus mostly on the culture - if they are known for being a particular way, highlight that as a source of similarity. If they're not, make something up.
history of the firm?
