Equity Research Interview

[Palantir]

So I 'm interviewing for an ER position and they have asked me to do the second step, which appears to be a modeling test. My guess is that this commonly involves updating a model with a press release, and writing a note. I was wondering if anyone could point me to where I would be able to find examples for the model as well as the PR note. I have BIWS models, but I don't know if they are as relevant to this.

Bump....I am to update a model with an earnings release and write a summary....does anyone have a model that they can distribute?

I don't have any models of my own. But check out the ones by Damodaran, which he offers for free. You can use these as a guide.

You have to update a model or completely build a model?

 

Did they tell you which valuation method you should use? DCF, relative valuation, multiples?

Just update thankfully, I am not sure what type of model this is, but it is for MLP sector.
