2026 Point72 Academy National Case Competition - US

About the Competition

The Point72 Academy Case Competition is an opportunity for university students to showcase their investing skills by presenting a stock pitch to Point72. Teams of one to three teammates will analyze a company, develop an investment thesis using publicly available sources only, and submit their pitch. Finalists will be paired with a Point72 mentor and present their pitch to Point72 investment professionals in New York City. Prizes include scholarships and an accelerated interview process for future opportunities.

• Refine with a Mentor: If selected as a finalist, your team will be paired with a Point72 mentor for 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 and network with peers and representatives from recruiting, Academy, and investing teams.
