Thematic (Sector/Industry)

Our checks indicate that during the first 5 days in May, Macau GGR reached ~1 billion MOP, up by HDD (high-double-digits) year-over-year. This was driven by the extra one day for the labor-day holiday this year, strong mass visitations from mainland and very high VIP rolling.  We estimate that the average rolling amount in VIP rooms reached ~5.5 billion -6.0 billion MOP per day per table, up ~15% YoY (same period in 2018).  The extra day provided in the holiday is to stimulate consumer spending by the government, a similar measure as the income tax cut effective on Oct 1st, 2018.In April, Macau GGR was down 8.3% YoY, dragged down by ~25% decline in VIP GGR.  The VIP luck factor was ~3% last minute, similar to same period in 2018.  Rolling demand was negatively impacted by Beijing’s tightened implementation of capital outflow controls, and crackdown of underground banking and related crimes.

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.
