How to Make a Stock Pitch
By Cameron Fen
How to Find Stocks?
• Look at Stock Spinoffs– http://www.stockspin
offs.com/– http://spinoffmonitor.
com/• Follow Famous
Investors– Go to SEC website and
look for 13HR filings of your favorite hedge fund
How Else to Find Stocks
• Read Blogs– Seeking Alpha– Reminiscences of a Stock Blogger– Alpha Vulture– Whooper Investments– Oddball Stocks– Wexboy (Great Britain Stocks)– Red Corner
Found a Stock! Now What!?!?
• Look at the Income Statement and Balance Sheet, Perhaps Peruse the Annual Report– Bad News: 90% of the
time, there is something wrong with the company
What could be Wrong with my Company?
• Over-Leveraged• Earnings too high (ie Cyclical Peak)• Lots of Preferred Stock• Untrustworthy Management• Not Cheap Enough
– Big reason not to invest
Coming Up with a Thesis
• Once you have identified that 1 in 10 stock that passes a quick analysis, now is the time to come up with a Thesis
• Thesis should write itself if you haven’t come up with one
Ex 1. Kenon
• Sum of the parts of this recent spinoff indicates upside of 100%– Kenon is made up of five segments– The money earning segment is overshadowed by
the other 4 money losing segments– On a P/E basis this one segment (electrical utility)
is trading at a 9 multiple and will increase capacity by 50% in the near term
Ex. 2 Third Federal Savings and Loans
• Mutual Holding Structure Hides Cheap Valuation; Company also buying back lots of shares– Trading at a P/Book of about .5– Buying back 15% of stock per year
Background of the Company
• Look over the Companies Risk Factors and Business Description in the 10-K
• Try to capture the essence of the background of the company that a.) either people want to know or b.) is important to the thesis
• In the case of Kenon, should talk about recent spinoff as well as the holding company structure
Example

Noble’s Reasons for Spinoff
• Separate newer high-spec assets from mature standard-spec assets• Raise $1.8B cash to pay off long term debt• Allow management of each company to focus on its own strategy
Spinoff Logistics
• The spinoff was completed on August 1st 2014• NE shareholders received 1 share of PGN for every 3 shares of NE

Industry Thesis
Valued at adiscount to NAV
and NPV
Company Thesis
PGN is a victim of significant overselling
PGN’s rigs will remain competitive
Paragon has been oversold for reasons unrelated to the underlying business leading to a ~50% decline since being spun off
Paragon is currently trading below its net asset value, and the market does not fully appreciate the strength of their cash flows
Paragon’s low-spec rigs can maintain relevancy in current operating regions through their lean cost structure relative to their high-spec peers

Risks
• Pick two or three risks in your thesis and show why these risk are overblown or not potential problems
• Don’t put all the risks here if you have a short presentation, leave most in appendix if question gets asked
Example
● A 300 basis point increase in interest rates will reduce economic value of equity by 23%o This situation is mitigated by the fact
that the company trades at a huge discount to book value and is quickly becoming more asset sensitive
Worst Case Scenario: Rise in Interest Rates
∗Loans are gradually shifting away from Fixed Rate Mortgages to ARMs
Becoming more Asset Sensitive…
Appendix
• Should provide all the supporting details like the math that are too complex to go into the presentation
• Also should put in answers to potential questions
• Analysis of additional problems/risks • Analysis of transaction details if relevant• Definitions
Appendix (cont)
• Add details on commodity analysis when dealing with a relevant company
• Analyze management• Include sensitivity analysis• Look at competitors• Look at suppliers and customers• When in doubt, put it in

Seahawk Story
• In August 2009, Seahawk was spun off of Pride International but declared bankruptcy in 2011. While both look similar, they are actually quite different:
Qualities of Seahawk:• Old fleet: average rig age was 28 years• Customer Concentration: 58% of
revenue from Pemex• Declining business: only had 1 rig on
contract at time of spinoff• BP Oil spill made it extremely difficult
to operate in the gulf
Qualities of Paragon:• Much more geographically
diversified• Much more diversified in
customers as well• Much larger backlog• Much more diversified fleet

Oil Consumption and Supply: Past
Increase in petrol production between 2005 and 2014 can be entirely attributed to Canadian oil sands and U.S. Fracking.
60% of the increase in petrol consumption during the period attributed to China. 25% of the increase is attributable to South East Asia.
Back to Table of Contents
Oil Consumption and Supply: Future
OPEC seeks to regain market share by increasing supply to match world demand
North American “tight oil” production doubles during projection period
90% of future consumption increase driven by South East Asia, India, and China
Partially offset by steady to decreasing demand from the West
Back to Table of Contents
Conclusion: Market will Remain Tight
OPEC still represents 41% of the world’s liquids production and will continue to be able to tighten a slack market or inject supply to match demand.
