<li>Fardaday Future (FF) announced it lined up at least $100m in funding from two investors but gave little detail. Deal is set to close on or before August 8th. </li>
<li>Given that it's a senior secured convert deal, we doubt more than $100m-$200m can be raised, despite FF's release saying the deal has capacity for $600m.</li>
<li>FF only had $222m in cash in April after -$173m in FCF in Q1. They need $1bn to last through 2023. Anything less than $600m in funding would be negative.</li>

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.
