Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Objective Analysis recently updated its 2020 semiconductor forecast.  We are calling for the market to see zero growth at best, but our model actually predicts -6%.  This  SmartKarma Insight explains what went into that forecast and how we determined what the chip market should look like in 2020 and beyond.

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

U.S. Equity Strategy: Growth Surging Relative to Value

Monthly chip revenues declined slightly in November, according to the SIA.  This SmartKarma Insight examines recently-reported industry revenues to see how they compare with the long-term trend and to understand whether or not the current uptick is likely to continue.  The conclusion is that today's market is higher than it would be if the China-US trade war were not a concern.  A mid-2020 collapse is more than likely.

Equity Bottom-Up

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nvidia-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:5891:1" rel="noopener">Nvidia's</a> CY Q32019 was the company's second quarter in a row of solid recovery from the troughs of their two-quarter long down cycle, triggered by a combination of their so-called cryptocurrency overhang and the bursting of the semiconductor inventory bubble in Q4 2018.  While all segments with the exception of Automotive registered solid QoQ growth, only the Professional Visualization segment delivered a modest YoY increase. Of particular note was NVIDIA's outlook for CY Q4 2019, down 2% sequentially. The fourth quarter has historically been the the company's strongest, largely due to the seasonal impact of graphics card purchases for gaming.
