Company Investment Research / 公司投资研究框架

This skill provides a systematic framework for conducting comprehensive investment research and due diligence on companies. It structures analysis across 10 critical dimensions to support informed investment decisions.

本技能为公司基本面研究提供一套结构化投研框架，覆盖 10 个关键维度，帮助你从零开始梳理一家公司的商业模式、竞争力、增长与估值，并最终形成一份有逻辑的投资结论。

When to Use / 适用场景

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Evaluate a company as a potential investment (public or late-stage private)
  • Understand a company's competitive advantages and moat vs peers
  • Produce a structured investment memo instead of scattered notes
  • Compare two or more companies in the same sector on a consistent framework

适合在以下场景使用：

  • 对某家公司做系统性投研/估值评估（上市公司或准上市公司）
  • 想明白它相对于同行的护城河与竞争地位
  • 需要输出一份结构清晰的投研报告/投资备忘录
  • 在同一行业内对比多家公司，希望有统一的分析模板

Quick Usage Examples / 快速使用示例

1. Single-company deep dive / 单公司深度研究

"Analyze NVIDIA (NVDA) as an investment using the company-investment-research framework. Follow all 10 dimensions and end with a clear BUY/HOLD/SELL view, including key risks."

「请基于 company-investment-research 投研框架，系统分析英伟达（NVIDIA, NVDA）的投资价值，按 10 个维度展开，最后给出 BUY/HOLD/SELL 判断，并列出关键风险。」

2. Compare two companies in the same sector / 同行业公司对比

"Using the company-investment-research skill, compare NVIDIA vs AMD as AI infrastructure investments. Highlight differences in moat, growth drivers, and valuation, then state which one looks more attractive on a 3–5 year horizon and why."

「使用该投研框架对比分析 NVIDIA 与 AMD 作为 AI 基础设施投资标的的优劣，从护城河、成长驱动、估值三方面重点展开，并给出未来 3–5 年哪个更具吸引力及原因。」

3. Rapid pre-screening / 快速预筛选

"Run a lightweight version of the company-investment-research framework on Snowflake. Focus on competitive positioning, growth drivers, and valuation to decide whether it deserves full deep-dive research."

「对 Snowflake 做一版简化版投研：重点看竞争地位、成长驱动和估值，判断是否值得投入时间做完整深度研究。」

4. Memo generation for internal discussion / 生成内部讨论用 Memo

"Create a 2–3 page investment memo for Tesla using the company-investment-research structure. The target audience is an investment committee; keep language concise but include key numbers and scenarios (base/bull/bear)."

「按照本框架，为特斯拉生成一份 2–3 页的投资备忘录，供投委会讨论使用：语言简洁，但需包含核心数据与基础/乐观/悲观三种情景。」

Research Best Practices / 研究最佳实践

  1. Use Multiple Sources / 多源交叉验证
    Cross-reference information from company filings, analyst reports, news, and financial databases.

  2. Verify Timeliness / 确保数据新鲜度
    Always check dates on data – use the most recent available information.

  3. Quantify When Possible / 尽量量化
    Provide specific numbers, percentages, and metrics rather than only qualitative descriptions.

  4. Acknowledge Limitations / 明确假设与局限
    Note when information is unavailable or when making assumptions.

  5. Maintain Objectivity / 保持客观
    Present both bullish and bearish perspectives; avoid confirmation bias.

  6. Source Attribution / 标注关键来源
    Cite sources for key data points, especially financial figures.

Integrations: Fetching Filings & Financial Data / 集成：自动拉取财报与数据

This skill focuses on how to think and structure research. For data and filings, pair it with external tools/APIs.

本技能侧重于思考框架与结构化输出，财报与数据建议通过其他工具或脚本获取，然后作为本框架的输入。

Example: US-listed companies (e.g., SEC + financial APIs)

示例以美股为主（可按同样思路换成 A 股/港股对应数据源）：

  • Download latest 10-K / 10-Q filings
    Use any SEC helper tool or script, for example:

    # Example: download the latest 10-K for NVIDIA (NVDA) into ./filings
sec-edgar-downloader company "NVIDIA" \
  --form-type 10-K --num 1 --download-folder ./filings

  • Fetch key financials via an API or Python script
    For example, a simple Python entry point:

    python scripts/fetch_financials.py --ticker NVDA --out data/nvda.json

    The script can query any financial data provider (Yahoo Finance, financial APIs, etc.) and standardize outputs (revenue, margins, key ratios) for later use in this framework.

  • Use web_fetch for qualitative sections
    For business descriptions, risk factors, and management discussion, you can:

    1. Download the filing (PDF/HTML)
2. Use web_fetch to extract key sections into markdown
3. Feed those into the 10-dimension analysis

推荐实践：将「数据抓取脚本 + 本投研框架」放在同一项目中，通过 Makefile 或 shell 脚本串联，形成一键跑通的投研流水线（先拉数据，再生成报告草稿）。

Tool Usage Hints / 工具使用提示

  • web_search: Primary tool for gathering company information, financial data, and market intelligence.
  • web_fetch: Retrieve full annual reports, investor presentations, and detailed articles for deeper reading.
  • Use this skill mainly as a thinking & structuring framework – pair it with data sources (e.g., financial APIs, filings) for best results.
