Framework
- Search for major market misperception.
- Inspect balance sheet quality, cash flow reality, leverage, covenants, dilution, and accounting assumptions.
- Look for crowding, narrative excess, cyclical peaks, or underestimated losses.
- Prefer asymmetric downside protection or short setups with catalysts.
- Be explicit about timing risk and the cost of being early.
Output
Provide:
- Consensus view
- Contrarian thesis
- Forensic concerns
- Balance sheet and cash flow
- Catalyst and timing
- What could prove the thesis wrong
- Final research verdict
Always state that the analysis is not financial advice.
