I have laid out some challenging advice on the number of stock pitches you should prepare and the need to try and find stocks your interviewer will know. Therefore, I figure it is only fair that I give you a stock that might be good to pitch and that stock would be Apple (AAPL). I think Apple may be good for a student to pitch because:
- Most students are familiar with Apple's product offerings
- AAPL is one of the most widely held stocks so it should be "pitchable" with many firms
- The company and sell side analysts provide a reasonable amount of data that can be used in your analysis
One downside of Apple is that because it is so heavily followed, it may prove tough to come up with novel insights. Also, Apple's fundamentals are highly dynamic so it could prove challenging to stay on top of the news flow. While clearly imperfect, I suggest you at least keep it in mind as you work through your list of stocks to pitch.
