Importance of investment research
Your task will be to place yourself in the shoes of one of these institutional researchers, and select a stock you think is a good investment.
Select one company of your choosing in your favorite industry (ie: Apple, Tech Industry).
Then, explain the reasoning of your choice, and why you are passionate about the company (ie: Mission, Values, Purpose).
Give a summary of the company from creation to current day.
Then use the year 2021 as guidance as to how the company performed in the stock market. Be sure to include the ticker symbol (ie: AAPL).
Look at the company’s actions throughout that time period and give your reasoning as to why you believe the company performed well or poorly. Be sure to consider product releases and important events.
Then look into the company’s financials. You can use CNBC, Bloomberg, Google Finance, among others to find this information. Look at revenues briefly, and interpret which other indicators you think would be useful for an institutional researcher.
To conclude, compare how your company’s stock performance to its industry. Did they outperform? Then, look at the stock exchange’s overall performance compared to cryptocurrency. Was the Equity Asset Class more attractive in 2021? Or was it the Crypto Asset Class?
