A strip profile (or one-pager) is an information-dense, single-slide company summary used in investment banking pitch books and deal materials. It crams everything a reader needs to know about a company onto one slide: what the business does, key financial metrics, valuation multiples, ownership, and recent stock performance. The name “strip” comes from the format — a horizontal “strip” of company information that can be stacked with other company profiles in a pitch book.
One-pagers are ubiquitous in investment banking. They appear in M&A pitch books (to profile potential targets or acquirers), in CIMs (to compare the company to peers), in board presentations, and in conference materials. At firms like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan, associates and analysts spend significant time creating and updating these profiles.
The goal of a one-pager is maximum information density. A busy executive should understand the entire company story in 30 seconds. Every bullet point should include a number. “Revenue: $50B (+6% YoY)” is useful. “Large and growing revenue” is not.
