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.

EURO STOXX 50 Price EUR / Technical Analysis

Our intermediate-term outlook remains constructive with major support levels holding on the broad global indexes (MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, EM, and EAFE). Still, we continue to see some reason for caution as various market dynamics have deteriorated, leading us to a more neutral outlook in the near-term.

Tata Consumer Products / Equity Bottom-Up

In this insight, we discuss  <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/tata-consumer-products" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:258:1" rel="noopener">Tata Consumer Products (TATACONS IN)</a> 's potential to outperform peers in the India consumer sector in terms of revenue and profit growth over the next few years. Its inclusion in India's Nifty index from March 31st would attract more investor attention and investment to the stock. The predominantly beverages (branded tea, coffee) company that competes with global multinationals is now expanding its foods business to address the highly unorganised but growing domestic packaged kitchen staples and snacks/breakfast segment. From Tata salt to Tata Starbucks, this consumer goods company already have a wide array of brands under its portfolio. Leveraging on the goodwill enjoyed by the Tata brand in India and by expanding its reach and distribution wider, Tata Consumer is fast-tracking growth in the foods segment. The potential is immense, competition (national level) is scant and the young company (in its new avatar, name and structure) can make it big if it successfully adapts few pages from the playbook of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/titan-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12630:1" rel="noopener">Titan Co Ltd (TTAN IN)</a>- another Tata enterprise that leveraged quality and brand to take on large unorganised consumer sectors.
