Prepare a research example you can defend
Choose a public company or a university research assignment and summarise one question you investigated. Explain which information you used, how you checked it and what you still do not know. The goal is to show a careful process rather than to produce a confident prediction about a share price.
If you use a spreadsheet, make the inputs and assumptions visible. Be ready to explain how changing one assumption affects the conclusion. Label a personal exercise clearly and do not present hypothetical returns as a real investment record.
Practise a short explanation for someone without a finance background. Research is more useful when another person can understand the reasoning, not only the final number.
