Analyst Prompt Examples

Use normal analyst language. You do not need to name tools or tell Northfox how to gather the information.

These examples reflect the kinds of questions Northfox is best at answering with company snapshots, financials, segments, peer comparisons, price history, screens, and filings when needed.

  • Give me a quick snapshot of AAPL with valuation, growth, and profitability.
  • Compare MSFT and GOOGL on revenue growth, margin profile, and valuation.
  • Summarize NVDA as an investment case in 6 bullets.
  • What matters most for AMZN right now from a fundamentals perspective?

Financials and trend analysis​

  • Break down META revenue, gross margin, operating margin, and net income over the last 4 periods.
  • Show me TSLA revenue growth, free cash flow trend, and debt position.

  • Screen for large-cap software companies with strong revenue growth and healthy margins.
  • Find semiconductor names with improving profitability and reasonable valuation multiples.

Filing and 10-K questions​

Use these when you want disclosure-heavy detail, segment language, risk factors, or accounting context.

  • What are the main segments and their revenue contribution according to the latest 10-K for AAPL?
  • Summarize NVDA segment concentration risk from the latest 10-K.

Follow-up prompts​

  • Go deeper on the segment that contributes the most revenue.
  • Show what changed versus the previous year.
  • Focus only on the bear case.
  • Compare this business to its closest peers.
  • Turn this into an investment memo outline.
  • Save the conclusion to notes.

Good prompt pattern​

Use this shape for clear results:

[company or screen] + [topic] + [time period if relevant] + [how you want the output formatted]

Examples:

  • For MSFT, summarize revenue growth, margin trend, and valuation in 6 bullets.
  • For NVDA, compare fundamentals and recent price action, then end with 3 investor takeaways.
  • Screen for profitable software companies growing faster than peers and show the top names in a table.
