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

Crude oil prices display bullish short-term reversals, resulting in bullish price and RS reversals for global Energy stocks -- add exposure. From a macro perspective, despite some mild price deterioration recently on major indexes around the globe, our outlook remains unchanged and we remain neutral yet constructive overall. Market dynamics remain largely constructive and we continue to see attractive opportunities in many countries/regions such as Japan, China (Shanghai Composite), Europe, India, and Canada, to name a few.

Emerging market equities have been one of the worst areas to invest in 2021, but we see early signs of positive change. With the US dollar failing to break above resistance at $93.50 and the MSCI EM ETF (EEM-US) displaying a false breakdown at $52, we believe now is an opportune time to add exposure to emerging market equities. To be clear, we are not getting overly bullish on EM; we have favored developed int’l (EAFE) over EM since May, and we are now shifting back to a neutral stance between the two. We see reason to believe the tide is shifting in EM’s favor. Below we highlight attractive and actionable themes within EM.

A "Buyback" is where (for our purposes) a publicly-listed company repurchases its shares from existing shareholders, sometimes in the market, sometimes in a structured buyback off exchange, and sometimes at a price higher than market price (in this insight, we will use the nouns "Buy-back" and "Buyback" interchangeably; the official regulatory documents in India often use the form with the hyphen).When companies use excess cash to buy back shares, they often not only end up optimising their capital structure but also "achieve" EPS accretion with the aid of a reduction in the total share count of the company. Some companies use buy-backs to support their share prices during sluggish periods and others attempt to use it as a defence mechanism against hostile takeover situations.  Still others in India use it to return capital to their promoters.All that is pretty well-known.In India, such Buy-backs are governed by the <a href="https://www.sebi.gov.in/legal/regulations/jul-2019/securities-and-exchange-board-of-india-buy-back-of-securities-regulations-2018-last-amended-on-april-17-2020-_40327.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SEBI (BUY-BACK OF SECURITIES) REGULATIONS, 2018</a> (last amended on 17th April 2020) and are principally executed through three main mechanisms - Tender Offers, On-Market Transactions, and Book-building Processes. This insight is the first of a two-part series by Quiddity on Indian Buy-backs.In this insight, we will look into the regulations that govern each of the buy-back mechanisms to discover the basis for how they get executed.

Equity Bottom-Up

Sun Pharmaceutical Industries / Equity Bottom-Up

HSIE Results Daily Sun Pharma: Suns Q1 revenue/EBITDA grew by 28%/55% YoY, led by robust growth across markets and restricted spends driving sharp operating leverage and margin expansion to 28.7% (+495bps YoY, +404bps QoQ). Its specialty business surprised positively despite the generic impact of Absorica (USD148mn, +6% QoQ, +90% YoY). The consistent traction seen in the past three quarters gives us comfort on the companys ability to execute its specialty pipeline and break even by FY23. Further scale-up in the specialty business will improve profit growth visibility and support rerating, in our view.<div class="content-highlight">Content is external broker report sourced from online content aggregator through publicly available sources and is displayed below for general informational purposes only.
