Write a short commentary on each company.

Allocate $10M across 3 companies ? how would you invest in the 3 firms? Use ending stock price of either February 24 or March 1, depending on when you plan to turn it in. Would you spread the investment across them, or buy just one, or two? HINT ‘ – Do NOT ‘chicken out’ by allocating 33.3% to each of the 3 firms – I will deduct for that.

Make sure you cite all sources used, especially analyst reports.
