Stock Pitch BB interviews

For buldge bracket interviews is it common to be asked to pitch a stock. If so, would we need an entire slide presentation with charts and DCF analysis or is it completely verbal? What's the general format of stock pithces in interviews and how long should they be.

 

Ones I got were more casual. General line of questioning:

"What's a stock your bull-ish on and why"-> I'd outline 3-5 reasons for why I think it's attractive-> "What is a risk associated with it"->"Where do you see it going in 5 years"... And then we just have a general conversation about the space or company at a high level. Never required a pre-prepped presentation

Don't overthink it. No need to make a powerpoint; just read and remember a few key details.
I just picked stock in the industry coverage I was recruiting for from one of the equity research reports like Wells Fargo's or Evercore ISI; I picked one that was flying under the radar and had low debt/ebitda, good ebitda multiple relative to its peers.
Next I just googled everything I could find; luckily I found a good seeking alpha report about why it was undervalued and read some quarterly financials about it. After absorbing these details, just remember a few key ratio metrics about why you think it's a good candidate for M&A and what happened/what's about to happen in the news that makes it compelling.
Pitch shouldn't last more than a couple min.
