Build Your Own Research Process
A 6-week small-group program with Stetz. You leave with a repeatable way to research any company, and a finished research note on two companies you choose.
Week by week
-
Week 1
Where you are, and the 7 numbers
We look at how you research today, what you own, and why. Then we set up your checklist using the 7 numbers every company page starts with.
You leave with: your personal checklist and 2 companies to study for the whole program.
-
Week 2
Cash flow, done properly
Every box in the cash-flow model. How to anchor growth and margin on history, how to pick the return you want, and how to read the “What if” table.
You leave with: a cash-flow model for both companies, with a reason for every number.
-
Week 3
Earnings, and when profit and cash disagree
The earnings model, price versus growth, and the three usual reasons the two models split: buybacks, pay in stock, and heavy spending.
You leave with: a one-sentence explanation of the gap on each company.
-
Week 4
Your cases and your price
Bear, base and bull cases with real reasons. Then the most you'd pay today for the return you want. This is where a feeling becomes a number.
You leave with: three cases and a “price I'd wait for” on both companies.
-
Week 5
Peers, and building a watchlist
Compare each company with 2 or 3 rivals. Use the screener to find more to study. Learn to say no fast.
You leave with: a watchlist of 10 companies and a 10-minute first-look routine.
-
Week 6
Your research note, and your routine
Write your 1-page research note, present it to the group, and get feedback. Then set up a monthly routine to re-check your guesses after each earnings report.
You leave with: 2 finished notes and a routine you can repeat on any company.
