Thematic (Sector/Industry)

While modern pharmacology has been able to produce new medicines to treat or manage most diseases, these drugs often cause unpredictable side effects, which sometimes lead to the development of secondary diseases, especially for chronic conditions. One possible alternative to the problem of sustained use of drugs is electro, radiation, and ultrasound therapy. 
In the area of electrotherapy, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/medtronic-plc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:14982:1" rel="noopener">Medtronic Plc (MDT US)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/boston-scientific-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:11115:1" rel="noopener">Boston Scientific (BSX US)</a> are the clear leaders by far, with dominance in the number of innovations, positive mentions, and impact of their innovations. However, with the increased use of electrotherapy for pain management and physiotherapy smaller players with unique products now compete in specific silos. Three small-cap names that screen well technologically are <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nevro-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:2218:1" rel="noopener">Nevro Corp (NVRO US)</a>, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nuvasive-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:8384:1" rel="noopener">Nuvasive Inc (NUVA US)</a>, and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/integer-holdings-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:18313:1" rel="noopener">Greatbatch Inc (ITGR US)</a>.
In Radiotherapy <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/siemens-healthineers-ag" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29221:1" rel="noopener">Siemens Healthineers AG (SHL GR)</a>  leads the field.  Surprisingly a private company Aerin Medical which provides treatment options for chronic nasal conditions and is a play on rising allergies and sleep apnoea comes in second
In Ultrasound therapy, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/johnson-johnson" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:1132:1" rel="noopener">Johnson &amp; Johnson (JNJ US)</a> tops the list. A small-cap company <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/butterfly-network-inc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:33050:1" rel="noopener">Butterfly Network Inc (BFLY US)</a> prima facie seems to have products that could potentially change the way ultrasound scans are performed as their technologies allow for use of small portable equipment in conjunction with a smartphone or tablet to create an ultrasound machine.

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.
