Bull vs Bear Case Template
A simple framework for building both sides of a stock research thesis.
What is the bull case?
The bull case is the positive research argument. It may focus on growth, margins, cash flow, competitive position, or improving execution.
What is the bear case?
The bear case is the cautious research argument. It may focus on slowing growth, debt, competition, valuation, execution, or disclosed risks.
Why both sides matter
Both sides make assumptions visible. That helps beginners avoid building research around only one preferred outcome.
Questions to ask
Ask what would need to improve for the bull case to matter and what would need to worsen for the bear case to matter.
- What data supports each side?
- Which risks are most relevant?
- What changed in the latest filing?
Common mistakes
Do not label one side as a recommendation. Do not ignore risks in the bull case or facts in the bear case.
