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

Major global indexes (MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, EM, and EAFE) continue to hold above critical support levels and market dynamics remain largely positive. Until this changes, we believe global equities are headed higher in the coming weeks and months. Additionally, we are reiterating our overweight recommendations on small-caps and value as we believe outperformance from these areas is likely to continue.

Tabbush Report

We provide research and consultancy on Asian banks. Our focus is on what we call “Asian bank research, without the noise.” We are interested in the most critical swing-factors for banks, the NPL and credit cycle, and where we believe there is a gap between perception and reality. We often focus on the less studied components of bank financial statements.  Our research is highly thematic, sometimes examining unlisted banks and companies as a window on mainstream banks. 

Being independent allows us to look at smaller banks, often overlooked by others. Analysis of BIS bank guidelines in the context of Asia, is also a focal point, while we also analyze global banks operating in the region. We use what we believe is the most comprehensive, reliable financials database, SNL Financial. S&P Capital IQ augments our database, with corporate data and CEIC, with economics.

Equity Bottom-Up

The Utah-based bank saw its credit costs in sharp reversal during the most recent quarter. This bank had stood out in our research some months ago, where its credit costs were 58x higher than recent levels. Figures can still improve.

This is not something that we are hearing about from all banks, or even a small percentage. But it is something that we must prepare for, a return to normal business levels. Norway’s <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/dnb-asa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:22227:1" rel="noopener">DNB ASA (DNB NO)</a> describes its customer activity and business levels as normal, just a few days ago. As we have indicated in much of our research, this should not be too great a surprise, as the current crisis is self-inflicted by governments enacting insane policies. As we re-open, the pace of recovery is reflecting this.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Few countries compare. Banks in Indonesia saw staggering credit costs during 2Q20. For 40 banks the average rate of growth QoQ was 126%. The economy has reopened and there are improving signs, as with most every economies globally, at least outside of Latin America. Given banks' exceptional sequential growth in credit costs during the June quarter, Indonesia’s banks may have some of the most radical recoveries during 3Q20. Or at the least, their credit costs can come down just as dramatically.
