Each year, university students from around the world take part in the CFA Institute Research Challenge, putting their equity research, valuation and presentation skills to the test.

Join us for the live final of the 2026/27 WA CFA Institute Research Challenge, where university teams from across WA will present their analysis and investment recommendation to a judging panel of experienced industry professionals. Each team will present their research before taking questions from the judges.

This year’s featured company is Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN), giving students the opportunity to research and value one of Australia’s leading uranium companies.

The winning WA team will advance to the Oceania sub-regional competition, where they will compete against the winning teams from NSW, Victoria, Queensland and New Zealand as they continue their journey through the global competition.

Light refreshments will be served, with an opportunity to network following the competition.
