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.

<li>The Spanish Cabinet has agreed on the acquisition of up to 10% of the share capital of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/telefonica-sa" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21299:1" rel="noopener">Telefonica SA (TEF SM)</a> (c.€2.2 billion), higher than the 5% initially mentioned.</li>
<li>This should move the market as it represents 48 trading days. This also means that the Government will likely authorise the purchase of up to 9.9% by STC.</li>
<li>The Kingdom of Spain 10-y benchmark bond yield is 2.9%, while the 24e dividend yield of Telefonica is 8% (source: IBES), therefore the operation makes financial sense.</li>
