Sector Overview

Workflow

Step 1: Define Scope

  • Sector / subsector: What industry and how narrowly defined?

  • Purpose: Client report, internal research, pitch material, idea generation

  • Depth: High-level overview (5-10 pages) or deep dive (20-30 pages)

  • Angle: Neutral landscape vs. thematic thesis (e.g., "AI infrastructure buildout")

  • Universe: Public companies only, or include private?

Step 2: Market Overview

Market Size & Growth

  • Total addressable market (TAM) with source

  • Historical growth rate (5-year CAGR)

  • Forecast growth rate and key assumptions

  • Market segmentation (by product, geography, end market, customer type)

Industry Structure

  • Fragmented vs. consolidated — top 5 market share

  • Value chain map — where does value accrue?

  • Business model types (subscription, transaction, licensing, services)

  • Barriers to entry (capital, regulatory, technical, network effects)

Key Trends & Drivers

  • Secular tailwinds (3-5 major trends)

  • Headwinds and risks

  • Technology disruption vectors

  • Regulatory developments

  • M&A activity and consolidation trends

Step 3: Competitive Landscape

Company Profiles (for top 5-10 players):

CompanyRevenueGrowthEBITDA MarginMarket ShareKey Differentiator

For each company, brief profile:

  • Business description (2-3 sentences)

  • Strategic positioning and moat

  • Recent developments (earnings, M&A, product launches)

  • Valuation snapshot (P/E, EV/EBITDA, EV/Revenue)

Competitive Dynamics

  • How do companies compete? (price, product, service, distribution)

  • Who is gaining/losing share and why?

  • Disruption risk from new entrants or adjacent players

Step 4: Valuation Context

  • Sector trading multiples (current and historical range)

  • Premium/discount drivers (growth, margins, market position)

  • Recent M&A transaction multiples

  • How does the sector compare to the broader market?

Step 5: Investment Implications

  • Where are the best risk/reward opportunities?

  • What thematic bets can be expressed through this sector?

  • Key debates in the sector (bull vs. bear arguments)

  • Catalysts that could change the sector narrative

Step 6: Output

  • Word document or PowerPoint with:

    • Market overview and sizing

    • Competitive landscape map

    • Company comparison table

    • Valuation summary

    • Key charts: market growth, share trends, valuation history

  • Excel appendix with detailed company data

Important Notes

  • Source all market size data — cite the research firm or methodology

  • Distinguish between TAM hype and realistic addressable market

  • Sector overviews age fast — note the date and flag data that may be stale

  • Charts are essential — market size waterfall, competitive positioning matrix, valuation scatter plot

  • If for a client, tailor the "so what" to their specific situation (M&A target identification, competitive positioning, market entry)
