<p>HPCL, the darling of deregulation due to its highest leverage to marketing, is soon going to lose its crown with the addition of 5mmtpa/2mmtpa refining capacity at Visakhapatnam/Mumbai by the end of FY22/CY21.

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

<p>We highlight several positive developments that have occurred since last week’s <em>Int’l Compass </em>report, all of which continue to support our overall constructive outlook. Last week we noted Europe’s STOXX 500 was on the cusp of a breakout above 4040; we got the breakout. WTI and Brent crude oil also broke above key multi-year resistance at $67 and $70, respectively. The MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, and EAFE indexes each hit new all-time highs and remain in uptrends. The MSCI Emerging Markets index (EEM-US) bullishly inflected above short-term resistance at $55.35 and RS is reversing the downtrend. These are all bullish signals for global equities, and our constructive outlook remains appropriate.</p>

Quantitative Analysis

<p>We have devised a few screens to identify long opportunities in the Indian markets. While there are different investment strategies out there, we have focused on catering to three key portfolio strategies: 1) Quality &amp; Growth 2) Income/Dividend Generation and 3) Value. These strategies resonate with our own investment approach and we regularly refer to these screens for our own idea generation.</p>
<p>Below we provide an overview of methodology used and backtest results for each of the screens followed by companies flagged by our screener for each strategy.</p>
<h3><strong>What's Unique?</strong></h3>
<p>Most screens tend to use a plethora of parameters whereas we have relied on 2-3 key parameters determined based on our back testing analysis that uses 7 years of historical data as of 2010. We originally started with multiple variables to devise our screen but eliminated variables that provided limited value addition as guided by back tested results. To filter out noise and any cyclical impact in determining trends, we have used averages across long periods ranging from 3 to 7 years, as appropriate.</p>
