International School Stock Pitch Competition 2026
By Isabella Nelson
Last week marked the conclusion of the inaugural two-week edition of the International School Stock Pitch Competition, an initiative founded within the network. We extend our congratulations to the winning team from Lycée Français Charles de Gaulle de Londres, as well as to all 26 participants for their outstanding efforts and insightful presentations.
Over the course of the competition, each participating team was tasked with selecting a publicly listed company that met the competition criteria and developing a stock pitch presentation modelled on the type of analysis conducted by university investment clubs and financial analysts. Every team successfully submitted both a short presentation video and a detailed pitch for evaluation by our judging panel, who carefully reviewed each submission to select a winner.
Our judging panel consisted of industry professionals and members of leading university finance organisations, including the EDEN Fund, Lion Fund at Columbia University, and the Cornell Investment Club. Their expertise ensured a thorough, thoughtful, and fair evaluation of every pitch.
We extend our sincere thanks to all participating schools and judges for making this experience possible. This competition reflects our ongoing commitment to bringing the world of investing closer to high school students and taking meaningful steps toward educating the next generation of finance leaders.
We are extremely proud of this first edition, and look forward to growing, improving, and continuing the competition in the years ahead.
