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

<ul>
<li>Major breakouts for UK's FTSE 100, STOXX Europe 50, and Germany's DAX (among others) continue to support our belief that non-U.S. equities are likely to outperform in the months/years ahead.</li>
<li>We continue to recommend adding exposure to China/Hong Kong, and to add exposure/remain overweight Europe and the UK; these remain our favorite areas to invest in the year ahead.</li>
<li>The UK/Europe and Hong Kong/China make up the majority of today's individual stock buy recommendations. Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary Sectors are all bullish and highlighted today -- add exposure.</li>

<ul>
<li>We compare how a portfolio composed of our top five picks in each of our thematic reports based on datamining technical publications would have performed versus Indices</li>
<li>The size of outperformance for various periods suggests that incorporating innovation quality index that we use to rank companies can be a solid tool to generate alpha.   </li>
<li>We understand that much of the outperformance is generated by positive skew but even backing out the largest two contributors we see solid outperformance.</li>

Splitting GE into 3 independent, unconnected companies makes strategic sense, and barring unforeseen exogenous factors, should unlock meaningful value for its shareholders  
Based on 2023 estimates, our valuation analysis indicates a SOTP value for GE of  $139-$152 for an up to ~50% upside 
Despite the extended break-up execution timeline, there is a case to be made for investors to use the current share price lull to jump in and enjoy the catalyst-driven ride.


SpinTalk: Thoughts On GE's Break-Up Strategy And Why We Think The Stock Is Ready To Fly Again

The interest shown by the richest and some of the most influential investors and the success of public-private partnerships in space programs are a reflection of an industry poised for strong growth over the next several years.  The space-tech landscape covers various technologies, but in this note, we focus only on the cosmonautic vehicle and propulsion systems. 
The current top players in propulsion are Ariane Group (<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/airbus-group-se" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21380:1" rel="noopener">Airbus Group SE (AIR FP)</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/safran-sa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21540:1" rel="noopener">Safran SA (SAF FP)</a> joint venture),<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/aerojet-rocketdyne-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:19120:1" rel="noopener">Aerojet Rocketdyne (AJRD US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/boeing-co" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:11957:1" rel="noopener">Boeing Co (BA US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/raytheon-company" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:6453:1" rel="noopener">Raytheon Company (RTN US)</a>, &amp; <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/united-technologies-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12750:1" rel="noopener">United Technologies (UTX US)</a>.

The two new preeminent private players SpaceX and Blue Origin don't feature in the top five players listed above, we discuss the reasons later in the report. 
Unlike e-commerce or software-driven startups, space vehicles and propulsion are relatively capital intensive. So unless the start-ups are led by founders with deep pockets (like Blue Origin) or founders with the ability to raise innovation capital (like SpaceX) it is best to stick to the established names and hope they evolve their business model to adjust for the democratization and marketization of the space industry. That said two private names that screen well are Redwire (vehicles) and Mountain Aerospace Research (propulsion).<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/avio-spa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:34833:1" rel="noopener">Avio SPA (AVIO IM)</a>is a small-cap listed company in the top ten for propulsion

Ideas from Data Mining Technical Publications: Space Vehicles and Propulsion Systems

Global equities are now breaking out to new highs amid positive technical developments -- something we noted was increasingly likely in last week’s Int’l Compass. These breakouts and other technical developments highlighted below argue that this is the beginning of a new leg higher. Now is the time to be playing offense. In today’s report we highlight our favorite setups within Industrials, spanning the Vermilion international Manufacturing, Services, and Transportation Sectors.
