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
