RSBC incorporates the CFA Institute Research Challenge framework into its Equity Investments course, with classes being held in its Financial Markets Lab, using the Bloomberg Terminal for equity valuation instruction. The Bloomberg Terminal provides access to financial market data, news, research, and analytics accessed around the clock by central banks, commercial banks, investment institutions, corporations, and government agencies.
6 EQUITY RESEARCH REPORT ESSENTIALS
7 BASIC INFORMATION The research report should begin with some basic information about the firm, including the company s ticker symbol, the primary exchange upon which its shares are traded, the primary sector and industry in which it operates, the investment recommendation, the current stock price and market capitalization, and the target stock price.

14 INVESTMENT SUMMARY This section should include a brief description of the company, significant recent developments, an earnings forecast, a valuation summary and the recommended investment action. If the purchase or sale of a security is being advised, there should be a clear and concise explanation as to why the security is deemed to be mispriced. That is, what is the market currently not properly discounting in the stock s price, and what will be the catalyst to prompt the market to reprice the security?

19 BUSINESS DESCRIPTION This section should include a detailed description of the company and its products and services. It should also convey a clear understanding of the company s economics, including a discussion of the key drivers of revenues and expenses. Much of this information can be sourced from the company itself and via its regulatory filings, as well as industry publications.

24 INDUSTRY OVERVIEW AND COMPETITIVE POSITIONING This section should include an overview of the industry dynamics, including a competitive analysis of the industry. Most firms annual reports include some discussion of the competitive environment. A group of peer companies should be developed for purposes of a competitive analysis. Additionally, production capacity levels and pricing are important considerations, as are the distribution and stability of market share.

28 FINANCIAL ANALYSIS This section should include a detailed analysis of the company s historical financial performance, and a forecast of future performance. Non-recurring events, the use of off-balance sheet financing, income and reserve recognition, and depreciation policies are all examples of items that can distort a firm s financial results. Financial modeling of future financial results helps to measure the effects of the changes in certain inputs on the various financial statements.

34 VALUATION This section should include a thorough valuation analysis of the company using conventional valuation metrics and formulas. Equity valuation models can derive either absolute or relative values. Absolute valuation models derive an asset s intrinsic value, and generally take the form of discounted cash flow models. Relative equity valuation models estimate a stock s value relative to another stock, and can be based on a number of different metrics, including price/sales, price/earnings, price/cash flow, and price/book value. Because model outputs can vary, as a check, more than one valuation model should be used.

41 INVESTMENT RISKS This section should address potentially negative industry and company developments that could pose a risk to the investment thesis. Risks can be operational or financial in nature, or related to regulatory issues or legal proceedings. Of course, disclosures of qualified opinions from auditors and material weakness in internal control over financial reporting should be automatic red flags for analysts.
42 Bloomberg Terminal Function BI Bloomberg Intelligence: North America Packaged Food 2017 Midyear Outlook

44 MANAGEMENT & GOVERNANCE This section should include a critique of the firm s management and board. Senior management s history with the firm and their record of capital allocation are important considerations, as are their compensation and incentive plans, and levels of stock ownership. Is there a succession plan in place for senior management? A review of the composition of the company s board of directors should note whether it is sufficiently independent or if there is evidence or risk of entrenchment.
