stock deep dive

Stock Deep Analysis provides a structured, evidence-based approach to equity research for developers and analysts. It moves beyond raw financial data to deliver normalized earnings, stripping out one-off impairments, litigation costs, and asset sales to reveal the true recurring P/E. This skill forces the agent to use web search for primary filings like 10-Ks and 20-Fs rather than relying on stale training data.

What it does

• Financial Normalization identifies and removes non-recurring items to calculate true underlying P/E and EV/EBITDA.
• Multi-Scenario DCF builds bear, base, and bull valuation models with explicit growth and discount rate assumptions.
• Comparative Benchmarking generates peer tables comparing margins, ROIC, and FCF yield against industry rivals.
• Moat Assessment evaluates competitive advantages like network effects, switching costs, and IP based on historical margin stability.
• Risk Mapping identifies specific business threats and catalysts, from regulatory shifts to upcoming earnings dates.

How it works

1. Identify: Input a ticker to resolve the company, exchange, and reporting currency.
2. Gather: The agent searches primary sources, SEC filings, and investor presentations for 5-year financial trends.
3. Normalize: It lists extraordinary items and computes adjusted earnings side-by-side with reported figures.
4. Valuation: It runs a reverse DCF to determine what growth the market is currently pricing in.

Frameworks & tools

This skill utilizes real-time web search capabilities to access SEC EDGAR, investor relations portals, and financial aggregators. It outputs structured Markdown reports with formatted tables for data ingestion or manual review.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often return hallucinated numbers or ignore one-time charges that distort P/E ratios. This skill enforces a strict data-sourcing protocol and normalization logic that mirrors professional equity research workflows.

Use cases

• Auditing the recurring earnings of a company after a complex merger or asset sale.
• Comparing a target stock against its peers using normalized valuation multiples.
• Identifying the implied growth rate required to justify a current market price.
• Preparing a summary briefing for an investment committee or personal research.

Known limitations

This skill performs educational analysis and does not provide regulated investment advice or position sizing. It requires web search access to retrieve current filings and market data.
