How to go about finding a strong stock to pitch for an interview?
I am a sophomore at a semi-target school and I am applying to a student run investment group. I have had my toes dipped into the finance world for about a year or two now, but when it comes to understanding the process of valuing a stock in order to use it as the stock to pitch, I am clueless. I have spent considerable time studying real estate finance and building out RE models but that is not going to help me here. Does anyone have some basic guidance to help me understand how to pick a stock that won't get me laughed out the interview?
Need investment thesis (qualitative) + fundamentals of the company (quantitative)
Maybe read one of the classic value investing books and then it's up to your creativity!
Why don’t you look up REIT stocks of real estate is your strong suit?
Boom, thanks a lot. I never got around to replying but thats exactly what I did.
I had to this for an investment group, and I think it went pretty well (although I'm just a student so take my word with a grain of salt) but I talked about cashless payment companies (Visa specifically but you can also talk about PayPal or MasterCard). Essentially I just said with the stimulus checks, everyone working from home/doing school from home, and most if not all stores not taking cash that I expect the company to beat earnings and be fairly robust as long as corona is around due to increased usage. I really think the whole idea is to see a second-level type of thinking rather than having the right answer. Not sure I can help with the quantitative aspect. Good luck!
