Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
 <li>
Acquisition by Sekisui House: In April 2024, M.D.C. Holdings was acquired by Japan-based global homebuilder Sekisui House, Ltd. for an equity value of $4.9 billion. This transaction has fundamentally altered MDC's corporate structure, converting it from a publicly traded entity on the NYSE to a wholly-owned subsidiary. The acquisition is a key component of Sekisui House's strategy to expand its footprint in the U.S. market.</li>
 <li>
Enhanced Market Position: The combination of MDC with Sekisui House's existing U.S. brands (including Woodside Homes and Chesmar Homes) creates the fifth-largest homebuilder in the United States, based on 2022 home closings. This scale is expected to provide significant operational advantages and bolster its presence across 16 states with a combined annual capacity of approximately 15,000 units.</li>
 <li>
Strategic Infusion of Technology and Capital: The acquisition is anticipated to integrate Sekisui House's advanced homebuilding technologies, innovations, and ESG philosophies into MDC's operations. This includes a focus on high-quality, environmentally friendly homes and potentially zero-emission building processes, which could serve as a key differentiator in a competitive U.S. market.</li>

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>We still recommend a tactical overweight to defensives (Staples, Utilities, Healthcare, and gold miners) as the SPX tests our 4165-4200 resistance range, and also resistance from the prior 1.5-month uptrend.</li>
<li>As we await Wednesdays FOMC announcement, the DJIA and Nasdaq Composite are testing 1-year resistances at 34,280 and 12,300, the DXY appears to be inflecting higher, and breadth remains weak.</li>
<li>While we still see a reach to 4300-4325 as possible, we believe playing for more upside is akin to picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.</li>

S&P 500 Testing 4165-4200, DJIA Testing 34,280, Nasdaq Composite Testing 12,300; Stay Defensive

As the major averages break topside their respective 50-day M.A.s - a positive in its own right - we are encouraged by the shift away from growth &amp; defensives toward the down-and-out laggards in the value arena. It is too early to tell for certain if these are anything more than short-term countertrend moves, but for now the moves we are seeing give us reason for optimism -- something that was running very low just one week ago. In today’s report we highlight attractive Groups and stocks within Consumer Discretionary, Manufacturing, and Transportation: Homebuilding, Small-Cap, Auto Parts, Large-Cap, Trucking, Large-Cap, and Trucking, Small-Cap.
