Find your key information
Economic information• Multilateral institutions, global publications, general
financial and economic magazines (I will provide this!) Industry information
• Key data providers (Bloomberg, Reuters, etc.)• Company and competitor reports
Company information• Discussions with management, suppliers, etc. This is
the really valuable work comes in!• Financial press and industry and related sources• Financial reports (10-K, 10-Q, and other reports)
![Page 9: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Categorize your company
• Each of these general types of firms possess different characteristics, so investors need to focus on different firm attributes to determine if the firm is attractive or not. We will use Peter Lynch’s same six categories that we used with the industry reports (review the Industry PowerPoint's for details):
Slow Growers Stalwarts Fast Growers Cyclicals Turnarounds Asset Plays

Gather Your Information
Do your homework Know the company like you owned it. You may.
Document major positive and negative factors Keep these in a specific place as you read and
study the company. That way you will not forget anything
Prioritize your positive and negative factors Emphasize those that support your
recommendation
![Page 11: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Write up the Report
Finalize your analysis and make a recommendation Come to a conclusion as soon as possible.
Support it! Update, review, and finalize your report
Update your financials, review your recommendations after any market moves, and finalize your report the day before you turn it in.

Update your Report
Finally, just before you present to company management, update your report a final time:
• Update your:• Stock Price• Market Index Price• Industry Index Price• Company Earnings Estimates and date• Reprint your relative return graphs, and • Review your major recommendations and
intrinsic value
![Page 13: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Note:
When you present to company management, they are not just concerned about your financials, but everything that has happened with your company. You must know:
• Any recent announcements that would impact your company, i.e.:
• Changes in the company: purchases, management changes, earnings reports, profitability
• Changes in the industry: technology, consolidation/acquisitions, leadership changes
Prepare accordingly

![Page 15: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
C. How to Write your Company Report in “My” Report Format
Remember:• Note that every analyst, portfolio manager, or
director of research will have their own preferred way of writing up a company
• Learn to do it their way, but don’t hesitate to add the key areas you think are important after you have put it in “their” format!
![Page 16: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why this Framework?
• Efficient• There is lots of information in one place
• Effective (but more difficult)• It is harder to write a one-page report than a 20
page report, but it is easier to get others to read it
• Consistent• We will be sending out your research to asset
management/buy-side companies as examples of BYU students analysis
• Up-to-date• We are seeing more of this type of research in
industry

2. Summary
What is the summary? This is the key piece of information for the analysis
If you have no recommendation, you are just learning about the company
The purpose of financial analysis is to make a decision about the company that can make the reader money
Write it well. It may be the only part read by your audience It should be a summary of your most important key
points supporting your decision
![Page 21: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. Background
Why is the background important?• This gives the historical framework on which your
analysis is built• It includes specific information that is important
to the analysis, including when founded, listed, key divisions, sales/profits by division, sales/profits by region, major shareholders/groups, percentage float, etc.
• Help the reader to understand which divisions are most important and profitable
• Include those areas which you think most relevant to the investment decision
![Page 22: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. Positive Factors
What are positive factors?• These are factors which will enhance the profitability
of the company to the investor. These could relate to:• Valuation• Earnings growth• Financial condition• Economic positioning• Market/industry competitiveness• Management• Cost structures• Asset utilization (PP&E)• Accounting aspects
![Page 23: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
5. Negative Factors
• What are negative factors?• These are factors which detract from the
attractiveness of the company to the investor. These could include the same factors discussed before
• Key caution:• Regardless of your recommendation, your positive
and negative factors should overall support that recommendation, i.e. don’t have all positives and a sell recommendation
• You want to show you have analyzed the key areas for analysis, yet your key goal is to support our recommendation
![Page 24: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6. Things to Watch
Why a Things to Watch area?• Portfolio managers/analysts cannot spend all their
time watching a single stock when they have 20-80 stocks in their portfolios
• Here you are stating the most important areas for the Portfolio Manager to watch.
• Pick 2-3 critical items to watch• That way, if these events or items
happen, it’s a flag for the portfolio manager to go back and re-evaluate what is going on
![Page 25: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
7. Earnings Per Share Estimates
• Why Earnings per Share estimates?• 1. It shows you the forecasts and directions that
the other analysts are going• 2. It gives a mean and standard deviation to tell
you how close or how far away you are from the mean forecast of the other analysts
• 3. It lets you know if, perhaps, others are seeing things you aren’t, or perhaps, you are seeing things others aren’t
• Note: You will rarely make money on forecasts where your forecasts are in line with what everyone else is saying. You make money when your forecasts are different from others--and when you are right!
![Page 26: Investment Banking Internship Class The Company Write-up Or Getting your best ideas on paper Or You have to know it--to do it!](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062620/551b6798550346ae7a8b5e1a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Suggestion
• As you finalize your report, I would recommend that you go to the HBL Library and read a couple of Wall Street reports on your company to get a sense of the things other analysts are writing.
• Read what they are saying• Read what items they find most critical• See if you have included all pertinent data
