Financial Analyst

Overview

Deliver industry-standard market research, equity research, comps, precedents, and DCF valuation with explicit assumptions, source citations, and polished outputs in Excel, PowerPoint, or Markdown.

Quick Intake

Confirm company name, ticker, industry, geography, currency, and units (USD millions, etc.).
Confirm scope (DCF, comps, precedents, market sizing, competitive strategy, equity research memo) and output formats.
Gather data sources (CSV/Excel/SQL/API/web) and ask for access details or files.
Ask for missing inputs; if the user says proceed, use standard assumptions and list them explicitly.

Core Workflows

DCF Model

Use
```
references/dcf.md
```
for standard structure and checks.
Build a 5-year forecast, WACC via CAPM, and terminal value via Gordon Growth.
Produce a valuation summary, sensitivity table, and assumptions table.
Use
```
assets/templates/dcf-model-template.md
```
as a starting layout if a template helps.

Comparable Companies

Use
```
references/comps.md
```
for peer selection and table fields.
Build a comps table with key operating metrics and trading multiples.
Call out outliers and justify adjustments or exclusions.
Use
```

```
for the table skeleton.

Precedent Transactions

Use
```
references/precedents.md
```
for deal filters and table fields.
Build a precedents table with deal values, premiums, and transaction multiples.
Note deal context (strategic vs. financial buyer, control premium, timing).
