MBA Stock Pitch Challenge Overview

What Happens at the MBA Stock Pitch Challenge?

Teams will pitch two stocks in the preliminary rounds of the competition. Each team is responsible for preparing three pitches in total. For the first two preliminary rounds, teams will pick from a basket of stocks assigned to them by the organizers. All three team members are encouraged to participate in the presentation and answer the judges’ questions in all three rounds. Presentations are seven minutes long with eight minutes of Q&A from judges. Teams should use a pre-issued PowerPoint template for their presentations. Judges will select the teams to advance to the final round.
The four finalists will proceed to the final round, where they make a seven-minute presentation on any stock of their choice, followed by eight minutes of Q&A. First and second-place winners are announced.
Non-finalists are encouraged to watch finalist teams in the final round.
