Equity Bottom-Up

For the third time this year, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/1" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1:1">Canon Inc (7751 JP)</a> has produced strong earnings and has revised up. For the 3Q, it produced ¥80.5bil in OP on revenues of ¥994.5bil. That was its best 3Q performance since September 2013, and is ahead of consensus by ¥12bil, while still less than half what it made in its mid-noughties heyday. Still, it was good enough for the company to raise its OP target to ¥350bil for the year (from ¥330bil). To put that in perspective, we’ve been consistently thinking Canon…

Canon (7751) - Makes It Three in a Row on the Upward Revision Front

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/1" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1:1">Canon (7751 JP)</a> reports its 3Q results after the market closes today (24th October). Seasonally, this is a relatively weak quarter; this is reflected in the consensus forecast, with OP expected to come in at ¥65.6bil on revenues of ¥938.5bil, compared with ¥96.3bil in OP the previous quarter. If ¥65bil in OP is achieved, then Canon is on course to beat its (upwardly revised) target of ¥330bil in FY17 OP.The last three months have seen grudging agreement among sell-side analysts that Canon is on…

Dutch semiconductor lithography giant <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/21097" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21097:1">ASML Holding NV</a> reported Q3 net sales of €2.45 billion, slightly higher than the previously forecasted €2.2 billion.

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

Today’s report is a bottom-up compilation of technically attractive EAFE stocks, with one fundamental kicker: each name is accompanied by positive momentum in their FY EPS estimates.  While the list is broad-based, metals &amp; miners and energy-related names are most prevalent.

The headline BoJ Tankan number (for large manufacturers) came out at 22, up from 17 last time and representing the highest figure post Lehman. While the Tankan rarely tells you anything you didn’t know, given that there is a widespread anti-Abe tirade from the media at present, it's a reminder that for the average Japanese business, life under Abe is a lot better than under his predecessors.<figure class="editor-figure mceNonEditable"><img src="https://static-prod.smartkarma.com/images/media/000/034/854/original/Tankan.PNG?1507067798" class="editor-image img-responsive" data-smartkarma-image-id="34854"></figure>The Tankan figure provides a decent indication that we are very much at the top end of the Goldilocks…
