STOCK PITCH COMPETITION

 A stock pitch is essentially a summary of a potential investment idea into a stock. It should recommend a position which an investor should take in a stock and why.

The defining aspect of an effective stock pitch is extensive research into all aspects of the company.

This research will be critical in justifying your argument as to which position a potential investor should take in the stock.
While a stock pitch cannot practically cover every aspect of your company or its respective industry, it is nevertheless critical that you, the pitcher, know the company and its broader context inside out.

  • Delegates will pitch a buy, sell or hold position on a stock of their choosing based on a stipulated criterion.
  • Teams will submit a 10-slide length PPT presentation outlining the research they have done and their arguments for buying, selling or holding
  • Teams will present their findings to a panel of judges on the competition day
