AI Stock Research & Due Diligence Analyst

Manually researching a public company is a slow, error-prone process of hunting through 10-K filings and earnings transcripts. This skill automates the fundamental analysis workflow, producing rigorous, source-traceable equity research dossiers. It systematically investigates business models, financial health, governance, and valuation scenarios while strictly separating reported facts from analytical judgment.

What it does

• Entity verification confirms tickers, exchanges, share classes, and reporting currencies to avoid analysis collisions.
• Financial diligence builds multi-period views of income statements, balance sheets, and cash flows with calculated ratios like ROIC and FCF conversion.
• Earnings quality review flags potential accounting risks, such as capitalized costs, unusual tax benefits, or receivables growing faster than sales.
• Competitive positioning assesses moats, pricing power, and market structure against comparable peers.
• Valuation modeling applies multiple methods including DCF, EV/EBITDA, and FCF yield across bull, base, and bear scenarios.
• Risk registration maps business, liquidity, and geopolitical threats to specific "thesis breakers" for ongoing monitoring.

How it works

1. Provide a company name or ticker and specify if you need a full due-diligence report or a quick screen.
2. The analyst identifies the legal entity and builds a source register from regulatory filings and official releases.
3. It performs a deep dive into the business model, industry structure, and management execution.
4. The skill generates a structured report containing financial tables, valuation sensitivities, and a monitoring plan.

Frameworks & tools

This skill utilizes fundamental equity research principles and standard accounting frameworks (GAAP/IFRS). It relies on regulatory filings, earnings transcripts, and official investor relations disclosures.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often lead to "hallucinated" financial figures or vague bullish summaries. This skill enforces a strict source hierarchy and data-stamp requirements, ensuring every claim is backed by a specific filing or disclosure.

Use cases

• Conduct deep-dive fundamental analysis on a new stock idea for a portfolio.
• Perform a quick screen of a company to identify governance or accounting red flags.
• Compare a target company's margins and capital allocation against industry peers.
• Build a risk-monitoring framework with specific triggers that would invalidate a thesis.

Known limitations
