At Morgan Stanley, I supported industry thought leader and top Wall Street Auto Analyst, Adam Jonas. Our research focused on disruptive trends around autonomous technology, ride-sharing, and electrification at a time when the automotive industry at large was quite skeptical of a paradigm shift away from selling human-driven, internal combustion engine vehicles towards a model where fully autonomous, all electric vehicles would be available on-demand, 24/7. Together, we covered the U.S. automakers (Tesla, General Motors, Ford, FCA, and Ferrari), Tier-1 suppliers (Aptiv, Magna, etc.), car rental firms (Avis, Hertz), and dealers (Autonation, Carmax, Penske, etc.). We also had the opportunity to interview dozens of leaders at mobility start-ups and raise awareness among the MS client base through our "Auto Disruptors" series. As part of my role, I conducted industry diligence, built earnings models, interviewed management teams, performed valuation using discounted cash flow and leveraged buyout analyses, wrote research, and engaged with clients. I also identified undervalued long and secular short ideas on a 12-18 month horizon generally with a contrarian perspective. After publishing our research, I got to debate our controversial calls with some of the smartest CIOs/PMs of large asset managers including hedge funds.
