2025 Point72 Academy Case Competition—New York City

The Point72 Academy Case Competition is your chance to showcase your investing skills by presenting a stock pitch to Point72 with a team from your university.

You and one to three teammates will analyze a company, develop an investment thesis, and submit your pitch. Finalists will be paired with a Point72 mentor and given the opportunity to present their pitch to Point72 investment professionals in our New York City office. Prizes include scholarships and an accelerated interview process for future opportunities.

Prep your pitch: You and your teammates will research a company provided by Point72, build a financial model, and submit your analysis as a presentation. We encourage you to creatively leverage AI to enhance your research and analysis, showcasing both your insights and the innovative ways you integrated AI into your process.

Refine with a Mentor: We’ll pair each finalist team with a Point72 mentor, who will help you refine your pitch for your final presentation to the Point72 team.

Present your case: As a Finalist, you’ll earn a trip to NYC where you’ll rise to the challenge of presenting your case to members of our investment professional community. You’ll also network with your peers and representatives from our recruiting, Academy, and investing teams.
