Overview

What Happens at the MBA Stock Pitch Challenge?

Three simultaneous presentation tracks will occur. For each stock pitch, a single presenter from each team makes a ten-minute presentation, followed by judges’ questioning of all three team members for five minutes. For each of the three stock pitches, teams feature a different team member as presenter. Each team pitches the common stock in the first round and an industry-specific stock in the second and third rounds. The highest-scoring team from each group in the preliminary rounds advances to the final afternoon round.
The three finalists will proceed to the final round, where they make a six-minute presentation on any stock of their choice, followed by nine minutes of Q&A. First and second place winners are announced.
Competing teams are not permitted to watch one another’s presentations in the first three rounds. Finalists are allowed to watch other teams present as long as they have finished their own presentation. Non-finalists are allowed to watch final rounds.
