    A worked example: comps → DCF → recommendation with follow‑ups.

    How to structure your case

    Evercore's superday cases reward crisp structure and specific numbers. Start with a one‑sentence recommendation, then the evidence, then a short sensitivity. Close by naming the single biggest risk and the check you'd run next.

    Example flow

    • Thesis: Acquire; synergies and growth lift re‑rate to peer multiples within 18–24 months.
    • Evidence: 11× EV/EBITDA entry vs. 12.5× peer; 6% synergy on $30m EBITDA; DCF supports range with 9–10% WACC and 2% g.
    • Sensitivity: If synergy <3% or WACC +150 bps, decision flips; walk through math succinctly.

    Practice tips

    • Timebox to 12 minutes; write the thesis first
    • Speak numbers and units; avoid "about" without an anchor
