2026 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 using publicly available sources only, 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: Research a company selected by Point72, develop your investment thesis using publicly available sources only, and bring your analysis to life in a presentation. You’re encouraged to use AI thoughtfully to support your research and analysis.
Refine with a Mentor: If your team is selected as a finalist, you’ll be paired with a Point72 mentor who will provide feedback as you prepare for the final round.

Present your case: Finalist teams will travel to New York City to present their investment pitch to Point72 investors. You’ll also network with your peers and representatives from our recruiting, Academy, and investing teams.
