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

MSCI Emerging Markets Index / Technical Analysis

Supporting our global bull market thesis, uptrends remain intact for the major global indexes (MSCI ACWI, ACWI ex-US, EAFE, and EM). At this point, concerns surrounding the Wuhan coronavirus have led to some market setbacks and deterioration in market indicators, however they have not resulted in breakdowns. This is true even for areas of the market most-directly affected, including China (MSCI China) and emerging markets (MSCI EM). For these reasons and, as long as there is no significant additional damage, we view recent weakness as a buying opportunity - especially within EM. We see coronavirus concerns as helping correct the excess bullish sentiment and optimism in the short-term.

The transformation at QinetiQ continues. The H118 report has demonstrated the contribution from recent acquisitions, the longer-term nature of contracts and the broadening international reach of the company. While the UK defence market is not without challenges, QinetiQ&rsquo;s strategy is focused on delivering efficiencies for the UK MOD and investing for medium-term growth. Importantly, FY18 guidance has been maintained. We make small adjustments to our FY18 and FY19 estimates.

QinetiQ&rsquo;s pre-close statement continued to show the group&rsquo;s confidence in the outlook and highlighted that despite fears of UK defence slowdown, order intake was strong in Q2 and revenue under contract is as expected at this stage. With growth in Global Products also confirmed, supported by a combination of organic growth and the contribution from the Target Systems acquisition, both divisions are set to advance. We are therefore maintaining our forecasts and are encouraged by the progress in the group&rsquo;s strategic objectives, which have seen orders placed across the core UK business, as well as home markets in the US and Australia.
