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>

<a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bestway-global-holding-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:26012:1" rel="noopener">Bestway Global Holding (3358 HK)</a> has despatched the scheme document in relation to a privatisation offer from Great Success Enterprises Holdings. The offeror is owned 92.0% by Mr Zhu (Founder, Chairman &amp; CEO) and 8.0% by Mr Zhu Jiachen, the son of Mr Zhu. The offeror will offer HK$4.38 per scheme share. Unsurprisingly, the IFA considers the offer to be fair and reasonable. We broadly agree with the IFA analysis with the exception that the peer multiple comparisons could be improved. <div class="content-highlight">
The key condition precedents are the headcount test along with the scheme approved by at least 75% disinterested shareholders and &lt;10% rejection by all disinterested shareholders. Fidelity holds a blocking stake of 2.45% of shares outstanding (source: CapitalIQ) but will likely support the privatisation offer due to the substantial premium of the offer price to long-term average share prices and P/E multiples.  
The court meeting is scheduled for 10 am on 15 September. At the last close price of HK$4.18 per share, the gross spread to the offer price is 4.8%.
