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.

Toyota announces June quarter results at 13:25 JST on Thursday, August 4th JST. We think any dip is a buying opportunity. 
Contrary to consensus, Q1's constraints were due to supplier lockdowns in Shanghai, not the chip shortage. In fact, Toyota is seeing larger than expected chip supplies. 
Toyota's full-year guidance is the most low-balled in the industry, which is why it's underperformed peers. Better Q2 chip supply should lead to a sharp upward revision after 1H FY3/23.

Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

<li>Guidance had a similar tone with the company projecting ¥4,450bn in revenue (+2.4% vs. consensus) but OP of ¥190bn (-29.6% vs. consensus) which we think is too conservative. </li>
<li>While results were disappointing we expect volume growth to be the key catalyst next year and cheap valuations should support strong upside.</li>

 The Nikkei is reporting that Toyota has set internal production targets of 11m units for the fiscal year ending March 2023. 
That would imply a more than 20% YoY increase in production volumes. 
And that in turn is very positive news not just for Toyota but for several other auto-related names.
