Bear Case Stress Test
For {TICKER}, build the strongest possible bear case:
1. Valuation risk — Is the current multiple pricing in unrealistic growth assumptions?
2. Competitive threats — What competitors or technology disruptions are being underestimated?
3. Macro kill switch — What macro scenario (rates, recession, regulation) collapses the thesis?
4. Balance sheet risk — Is debt manageable in a downturn? Any covenant or refinancing risks?
5. Probability-weighted downside: estimate % drawdown and price target in a bear scenario.
6. Exit trigger — What specific event or data point would make you sell immediately?
Be contrarian. Do not confirm the bull thesis.
