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.

Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>
Medium term: Vertiv's Gray-space leadership is extending into white space through liquid cooling, integrated infrastructure and 800VDC; management targets 20-22% organic revenue CAGR through 2030, with further content/share upside.</li>
<li>
Short term: 2Q26 weakness was driven by supply-chain constraints and execution on larger integrated projects. FY26 guidance 40%+ 2H26 organic growth, making 2H26 backlog conversion the key debate near-term.</li>
<li>
Valuation: Recent consensus earnings have upgraded, accompanied by P/E de-rating to bottom-of-range. Our base case implies roughly 80% upside and bull case 100%+, driven mainly by earnings growth.</li>

Vertiv Holdings Co (VRT US): Buy Into Near-Term Weakness - Gray-Space Leadership, White-Space Upside

<ul>
<li>While the market remains in consolidation/pullback mode and we are not out of the woods, it is possible that further downside is limited from here on the S&amp;P 500</li>
<li>Since late-February, we've discussed important gap support from 2/22/24 at 4983-5050 on the SPX, with bulls in control if above 4983. Selling last week has simply filled this gap</li>
<li>4920-4950 is now support near last week's lows. Downgrade: Technology (XLK) to market weight. Upgrades: Manufacturing/Industrials (XLI) to overweight and Utilities (XLU) to market weight; individual stock buys highlighted.</li>
