Equity Research Analyst - Long-Short

Raj S, CA, CFA

I am Raj - CA and CFA. A Buy-side analyst.

I cover BFSI, Autos, Tech, AI and several other sectors across geographies.
   
I am a CA and CFA, with 10+ years experience in fundamental equity research across buy-side and sell-side and across geographies.

My research process is primarily focused on the catalysts which would have a direct impact on a stocks fundamental performance and market valuation. These days, I look for names which have a clear mis-pricing evident in its valuation vs. fundamental business moats/ growth/ NAV. Fortunately, there are always such stories around. More importantly, the timeline of when the mis-pricing is resolved and what triggers this resolution is what interests me.
