Equity Bottom-Up

The THAAD system installation in South Korea has been one of the biggest negative factors impacting the Korean stock market in the past year. It is fair to claim that if there was no THAAD problem between China and South Korea, the KOSPI could be trading at 10 to 15%+ higher than at current levels. China's THAAD related economic retaliation has come in several stages, and not all at once since the THAAD installation was first announced on July 8th, 2016. On Friday, September 22nd, 2017, the…

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.

Technical Analysis

Korea Stock Exchange Kospi Index / Technical Analysis

The two-month pullback in Korea KOSPI has created buying opportunities. In fact, this recent weakness is largely confined to auto and financial stocks, masking strength in other segments, such as tech and materials, where bullish inflections are visible.  In this report we highlight a variety of actionable investment themes.

Sunic System Ltd. / Equity Capital Markets

The most important question for Sunic's IPO bookbuilding that is currently in progress is whether Sunic will receive more orders from LGD for the small-sized OLED panel production lines that will be housed in LGD's P10. Samsung Display won't do business with Sunic any time soon. In addition, those Chinese and Taiwanese display makers are still some years aways from turning to 6GH. Of course, mid capacity equipment is also an important element for Sunic's overall sales performance. But its success with this product segment also highly depends on its success in the large capacity equipment market since this allows Sunic to gain further trust even from mid capacity equipment buyers. So once again, the whole focus of this IPO bookbuilding is whether Sunic can get orders from LGD for P10 and if so how many.
