Be aware that if they want to challenge your suggestion to invest in utilities be prepared to answer, what happens if we find ourselves in a rising interest rate environment? Higher yielding, defensive companies like utilities tend to react similarly to bonds as rates rise. Just look at June of 2013. Of course there is an arguement that since Yellen continuing the US’s easy money policies that we won’t see rates rise this year. I know this is very US centric but I just wanted to help. Good luck @bob_loblaw.
That’s helpful, @mattyc. I can’t imagine them not trying to challenge the argument, even if just to see my reaction. And since the company I’m interviewing for invests in the North American markets, that’s a very relevant point you made.
Up1Thanks for your feedback, Sophie!
As far as I know, the case study will present only financial statements. The position will entail financial statement analysis mostly, so it makes sense for the company to focus on that. Good point about checking whether the companies operate in the same industries; I’ll make a mental note of it.
Love your tip about bringing the analysis reports. Will definitely do that.
I greatly appreciate your input. I’ll come back and share my experience after the interview.
