For your final project you will write a short concise stock recommendation report for a firm in which you would recommend as a buy. You are correct that this is not an investments class but as you take a look at the examples provided you will see the application of various topics studied in this course.
You will see ratios discussed, discounted cash flow valuation applied, growth opportunities analyzed and ultimately whether or not the investment opportunity is one that should be pursued. This investment opportunity and determining the risk, reward and valuation all are discussed throughout this course.
