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

Our view remains bullish as long as the S&amp;P 500 is above the 2940-2980 support zone and we suggest buying any dips. Additionally, 3076 is a short-term support level to watch on the S&amp;P 500; if 3076 holds it would be further confirmation that the bulls are still in charge. In today’s report we highlight attractive Groups and stocks within Technology: Semiconductors, Mid-Cap, Semiconductor Equip., Large/Mid-Cap, Software, Data Analysis &amp; Solutions, Software, E-Commerce.

Thematic (Sector/Industry)

The Spring WSTS semiconductor forecast has been announced and it is very similar at the top-line level to the organization's Autumn forecast published six months ago.  At a more detailed level, though, there have been some significant changes that we explore here.

Spring WSTS Semiconductor Forecast Gives Mixed Outlook

First quarter semiconductor revenues were reported to be up 6.9% from one year-ago but down 3.9% from the fourth quarter.  This positive news incorporates very little impact from today's COVID-19 pandemic which, along with other factors, should result in weak revenues for the remainder of the year.

Q1 Semis Up 6.9% Y/Y, but COVID Not Yet Factored In

The SIA released WSTS semiconductor revenues for February.  While there was a small decline attributable to COVID-19, it is clear that February's figures are only the beginning of the upcoming downturn.  This Smartkarma Insight uses the industry's historical trends to give an early and rough indication of how the market might evolve.

February Semiconductors Show Onset of COVID-19 Decline

WSTS, the agency that tracks monthly semiconductor revenues, reported this week that the decline of the semiconductor market has continued to slow in January.  Still, excessive capital spending, COVID-19, and trade wars are likely to prevent the market from realizing a full recovery in 2020.
