We train undergraduates to produce initiating coverage reports the way a real research desk would: sourced, modeled, and reviewed before anyone's name goes on it. No prior finance background required to join, just the discipline to see a report through.
Orion Equity Research Group is a student-led equity research institution built on the belief that aspiring finance professionals should not have to wait until their first job to do real analytical work. Founded in 2026, Orion selects a cohort of high-achieving students from universities across the world and puts them through a rigorous ten-week program in which they conduct original company research, build financial models, perform DCF and comparable companies valuations, and author a full initiating coverage report published under their own name. Every report that comes out of Orion meets the standard of professional equity research and is made available to recruiters, investors, and the broader finance community. Orion exists to give the next generation of analysts the credentials and experience to compete at the highest level before they ever step foot in an interview room.
Disciplined, data-driven analysis grounded in fundamental research and sound valuation methodology, not a hunch dressed up in a spreadsheet.
Complex financial ideas written so a reader can actually follow the argument, not just admire the vocabulary.
Honest, objective research that presents both the opportunity and the risk, without leaning on either to make the story more exciting.
The same framework and editorial bar applied to every report, so a reader knows what they're getting no matter which analyst wrote it.
Eighty analysts split across eight sectors, each producing full initiating coverage on real, public companies.
...and 25+ more universities across the US, UK, and Asia.
