Poets & Quants: Behind Tulane's Burkenroad Reports

Burkenroad Reports, the Freeman School’s acclaimed equity research program, was recently profiled in Poets & Quants for Undergrads. The business school news website highlights the work of the program’s student analysts and quotes founder Peter Ricchiuti on the program’s role in providing students with real-world experience.
By the end of the semester, students produce 14 deliverables including reports on financial modeling, assumptions, valuation techniques, peer comparisons, and a projection of a 12-month target price. Additionally, the reports also include company history and an outlook for both the company and its industry.
“Employers truly value experiential learning,” Ricchiuti explains. “And it doesn’t get any more hands-on than Burkenroad Reports. The report itself opens doors and provides a great example of the candidate’s writing and analytical skills as well as their ability to put out a quality, timely product as a member of a team.”
