Profiles

What are you doing this summer? This summer I worked as an equity research intern at JMP Securities in San Francisco. I was able to work under the firms main analyst who runs the Software team researching ~40 software related stocks, names like Oracle, Adobe, and Zoom. I supported the team through updating earnings and preview notes, lunches with investor relations teams, and building out profiles for the firms Hot 100 list of private software companies.

 

What has been the most memorable part of your experience? The morning of a mini market tank during the summer my boss told my coworkers and I to stand in the trading room as we watched a decently sized selloff of almost all stocks tech related. It was interesting that time to see how the salespeople dealt with it and what their thoughts were.

One thing you have learned during this summer experience?  More overarching, but the people I worked had more of a positive impact on my experience due to them being close in age and genuinely fun people. On the technical side, learning about how software companies are valued and what information drives software stock movements.
