Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Equity Bottom-Up

BYD's share price hit a new high and has fully priced in the foreseeable positive effect from increasing car sales, rising market share of blade battery and to-be-launched 'Ocean' series cars.Looking forward, we see more downside risks on BYD's share performance. 1) ASP are trending down with increasing sales of DM-i models and A0-class EV Dolphin, margins might be under pressure. 2) Brand upgrading strategy didn't work so far. Monthly sales of Han EV did not go above 10,000 units and have slid down to 6,000-7,000 per month lately,  which indicates that car market hasn't accept Han's market proposition as BYD had expected. 3) First new model in 'Ocean' series, Dolphin, might not gain enough popularity among its target customers. 4) Chips shortage issue, which benefits BYD as it has self-supply chips, would be solved by the end of 2022, in our view.
