US Equity Research Analyst - Financial Modelling & Valuation

About the Role

We are hiring a US Equity Research Analyst to support fundamental research and portfolio decision-making across US-listed equities (NYSE / NASDAQ).

The analyst will own daily market screening, build and maintain financial

models, and produce written research on companies and sectors under coverage.

This is a hands-on research role for someone who enjoys digging into

earnings, guidance, and estimate revisions - not a data-entry or reporting job.

Key Responsibilities

Daily Market Screening & Monitoring

- Track US market open/close, index moves, sector rotation and macro drivers

(Fed policy, rates, inflation prints, jobs data)

- Process daily analyst upgrade/downgrade and rating-change data from sources

such as Seeking Alpha, Zacks, and sell-side notes into structured screens

- Flag estimate revisions, guidance changes, and unusual price/volume action in the coverage universe

Financial Modelling & Valuation

- Build and maintain 3-statement models, revenue build-ups, and quarterly earnings models in Excel

Company & Sector Research

- Read and interpret 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K filings, earnings call transcripts,

and investor presentations

- Cover assigned sectors with depth - semiconductors, AI infrastructure,

software, and other high-growth US sectors

- Write investment theses, initiation notes, earnings previews/reviews,

and thematic sector reports

- Track competitive positioning, TAM, order backlog, book-to-bill, and

other operating metrics relevant to the sector

Portfolio & Reporting Support

- Maintain master tracking workbooks for coverage universe and portfolio

holdings with defined formatting standards

- Support periodic portfolio reviews - position sizing, conviction tiering,

and trim/exit candidate identification

- Prepare dashboards and summary decks for internal investment discussions

Required Skills & Qualifications

- 2-3 years of experience in equity research, investment research, or

financial analysis - US market exposure strongly preferred

- Advanced Excel: complex formulas, pivot tables, data structuring,

large-workbook management. VBA/Power Query is a plus

- Strong grounding in accounting, valuation, and financial statement analysis

- Ability to read SEC filings and earnings transcripts and extract what matters

- Clear, concise written English - research notes must be readable and

decision-useful

- Comfortable with financial data platforms

(Evalueserve, Acuity, S&P Global, Moody's, Aranca and similar)

Shift & Work Mode

- US market hours - approximately 5:30 PM to 2:30 AM IST

(adjusts with US daylight saving) (subject to change to rotational shifts)

- In-office role based in Hyderabad

What We Offer

- Direct ownership of a coverage universe from day one
