Recently, our team entered the UAIC Equity Research Competition, and we’re really proud to share that we made it through to the finals, consisting of the top five teams in New Zealand! Throughout the competition, we had the opportunity to analyse The Warehouse Group, develop an investment thesis, build a valuation, and ultimately present our SELL recommendation to a panel of judges.
A huge thank you to the University of Auckland Investment Club for giving us this opportunity and creating such a valuable experience for students to apply what we’ve learned in a real-world setting.
A massive thank you to my teammates, Cody Nguyen 12E2 and Bardia Malek 12E2, for all the hard work, late nights, and preparation throughout the competition. I’m really proud of what we were able to accomplish together.
A huge thank you to Annabelle Larsen for all your guidance, feedback, and support throughout the competition. It made a huge difference to our preparation. And a special thank you to Stefan Knight for taking the time to speak with us, answer our questions, and share his insights. Hearing directly from management was incredibly valuable and helped strengthen our understanding of the company.
Making the finals was a great achievement, and I’m grateful to everyone who helped us along the way.
