Mindtree: Mindtree (MTCL) delivered an exceptional quarter with double-digit QoQ growth and beat on margins despite wage hikes and supply side issues. The dependence on the top account is coming down and growth was broad-based across verticals/geographies/service lines. Mindtree's growth momentum will continue, supported by non-T1 accounts (+17.6% QoQ), customer success (+21.8% QoQ) and investments in Europe (manufacturing). Its sustainable structural improvement is validated by (1) the uptick in Q2 deal TCV at &gt;USD 300mn and lower dependence on non-T1 account, (2) improved cross-sell and addition of strategic logos (seven in Q2), and (3) healthy growth in the travel vertical, supported by core modernisation.

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.
