Product Details

This case follows a fictional hedge fund manager as she works to finalize an investment thesis on Comerica Incorporated to present to her manager, who is undecided as to whether the fund should buy (go long) or sell (short) the stock. Assessing Comerica’s value and outlook is complex. She needs to have a view on Comerica’s future earnings, which are clearly linked to the gravity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resiliency of the banking sector as a whole. This case is taught at Darden in a course on “Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work”; it would also be well suited for in-person or online MBA courses in banking and financial markets, new technologies, or communication and crisis response.
