The UChicago Stock Pitch Competition is an opportunity for you to explore public equities investing by constructing a detailed analysis of an investment recommendation. Teams of 3-4 UChicago undergraduate students will analyze and present a stock investment opportunity, demonstrating skills in research, qualitative and quantitative analysis, and ability to effectively communicate their findings. This is a great chance for students to gain practical finance experience and receive feedback from industry experts on their application of finance knowledge. Participants will benefit from preparation workshops, mentorship, and office-hour coaching resources. Students of all experience levels are encouraged to participate (as part of a team or request team assignment)!

Participants/teams will be assigned to one of two divisions based on experience level:

- Analyst: <1-year RSO membership, no previous internship or investing experience
- Associate: 1+ years RSO membership and/or relevant internship or investing experience
