Valuation models, equity research, fund due diligence, and quantitative work — from the $1.6M Intrieri Family Student Managed Fund and advanced finance coursework at Penn State.

Equity ResearchPost-MortemIntrieri Fund

Avis Budget Group (NASDAQ: CAR)

Position post-mortem — Intrieri Family Student Managed Fund

Reviewed a live fund position from pitch to exit: a buy thesis built on post-pandemic normalization and fleet-cost discipline that endured a weak near-term quarter before re-rating sharply. The position nearly doubled — $88.28 entry to $164.89 exit — and the post-mortem separated what the thesis got right (direction, long-term fundamentals) from what it underestimated (timing and severity of earnings volatility).

  • +87% realized return from entry to exit
  • Thesis-drift, risk-exposure, and catalyst review
  • Key lesson: valuation alone isn't enough in cyclical, high-volatility names
Financial ModelingExcel

Movado Group 3-Statement Model

Integrated forecast model — NYSE: MOV

Built a fully integrated three-statement model for Movado Group with a dedicated assumptions layer driving the forecast. Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement are dynamically linked so any driver change flows through the entire model with the balance sheet staying in balance.

  • Driver-based revenue and margin assumptions
  • Linked depreciation, working capital, and financing schedules
  • Structured for scenario and sensitivity analysis
Company AnalysisIndustry Research

LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton

Company & industry report — luxury goods sector

Full company report on the world's largest luxury conglomerate: industry positioning across six operating segments, SWOT analysis, and competitive dynamics. Assessed LVMH's "Rising Star" market position — including its ~12.6% share of the U.S. fragrance segment — and how multi-segment diversification underpins its pricing power.

  • Segment-level competitive positioning (IBISWorld data)
  • SWOT with cross-brand synergy assessment
  • Industry structure and barriers-to-entry analysis
Fund AnalysisDue Diligence

Mutual Fund Due Diligence — SGNFX

Sparrow Growth Fund, No-Load Class

Ten-year due diligence review of an actively managed growth fund: calendar-year performance versus benchmark and category, concentration risk, and sector-level active bets. Identified 53% of assets concentrated in the top ten holdings and quantified active share by sector to show where the manager takes real risk.

  • 10 years of benchmark-relative performance analysis
  • Concentration and turnover risk assessment
  • Sector active-share decomposition
QuantitativeRegression

JPMorgan Chase Single-Index Model

Security characteristic line — statistical analysis

Estimated JPM's security characteristic line against the S&P 500 from monthly returns: beta of 1.0608, alpha of 0.54% monthly, R² of 0.444. Ran full hypothesis tests — beta highly significant (t = 6.87), alpha not statistically distinguishable from zero — and reconciled the estimate against published betas from Yahoo Finance, YCharts, and MarketWatch.

  • OLS regression with t-tests at 95% confidence
  • Systematic vs. firm-specific risk decomposition
  • Methodology reconciliation across data providers
Forensic AccountingEarnings Quality

Beneish M-Score — Mirion Technologies

Earnings-manipulation screen, FY2025 vs. FY2024

Applied the eight-factor Beneish M-Score model to test for earnings manipulation. Mirion scored −2.664, well below the −1.78 manipulation threshold, with negative accruals confirming earnings backed by operating cash flow rather than aggressive accrual accounting — while flagging rising leverage tied to acquisition activity.

  • Eight-ratio forensic screen (DSRI, GMI, AQI, SGI, and more)
  • Accruals-quality and cash-flow verification
  • Leverage and goodwill risk assessment

Used Nitrogen risk analytics to verify the risk taken was intentional: risk number 74, Sharpe 1.25, Sortino 2.14, at an 0.18% blended expense ratio.

  • 23.9% one-year total return, beta 1.06 vs. S&P 500
  • Documented buy thesis and known risks for every holding
  • Nitrogen-based risk verification and drawdown analysis
