Thematic (Sector/Industry)

DRAM and NAND flash makers have reported their first quarter earnings, and this has shown that DRAM revenues have grown slowly and NAND flash has stayed relatively flat.  DRAM and NAND market share breakouts have remained relatively stable for a year or longer, but recent spot market activity indicates that DRAM revenues may be headed for a correction.

While March semiconductor revenues reached record levels, a price downturn appears to have begun.  This downturn seems likely to have a short duration before the market resumes its good growth for the rest of the year.

HDDs for nearline storage showed considerable capacity growth between C4Q 2020 and C1Q 2021 with significant increases in average storage capacity per drive.  Average sales prices also were higher due to the sale of more high-capacity HDDs.  Market share between the three HDD manufacturers was little changed Q2Q.  HDDs remain the major storage media for the world’s digital content.

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

We are beginning to see early signs of rotations back into more risk-on areas of the equity market -- a bullish sign for the broad market. Short-term outperformance and constructive consolidation/bottoming patterns are evident within biotech (IBB, XBI), small- and micro-caps (IWM, IWC), and emerging markets (EEM). This only adds to our positive outlook for the weeks and months ahead; continue to buy pullbacks.
