The HEC Stock Pitch is an intense, one-day competition that brings together the best finance students in Canada. Each team is set to present an investment recommendation on a listed stock, offering the opportunity to develop and demonstrate investment analysis and delivery skills in front of a panel of professionals from Leading Canadian Financial Institutions. The competition also includes professional workshops, conferences and a networking gala with awards ceremony in collaboration with our partners and jury panel.

​

Teams of 2 to 4 participants will have 5 hours to propose a buy or sell on the stock of a North American company, announced on the day of the event. No prior preparation is required: all teams will receive the same information about the company at the start of the case resolution. The pitches must include sections on the industry analysis, company overview, investment thesis, financial statement analysis, financial modeling, valuation, and risk analysis. Each team will have 15 minutes for their presentation, followed by a 10-minute Q&A session with the judges. The candidates will be evaluated on criteria such as the quality of financial analysis, strength of the investment thesis, persuasiveness of the presentation, performance during the Q&A period, etc. The evaluation criteria will be sent upon registration and shared with judges prior to the competition.
