Build a thesis you can challenge
Understand how a business creates value, then identify the evidence that could change your mind.
Before asking where a price will go, ask what you own and why its value might change. A useful investment thesis starts with the business, not with a target price.
Start with the engine.
Describe who pays the company, what they pay for, and what has to happen for revenue to become cash. Separate growth in volume from changes in price or product mix.
Write the counterargument.
Choose the strongest explanation for why your thesis could be wrong. A competitor might lower prices, a customer might leave, or growth might require more capital than you expected.
Name the next evidence.
Record the operating indicator you expect to change, when you expect to see it, and what result would make you reconsider. The point is a decision you can revisit, not a prediction you have to defend.
