Vermilion Macro Vision: Sector Synopsis

STRATEGY We are upgrading our outlook on the S&P 500 from neutral to bullish following last week's weekly close above 5783. We previously downgraded our outlook to neutral in our 8/6/24 Compass, after being bullish since early-November 2023, noting that we expected a 1- to 4-month consolidation phase with support coming-in at 5100-5191. Since late-August we have expected 5670-5783 to cap upside on the S&P 500, noting that we would go where the market takes us, i.e., upgrade to bullish on a break...

Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

U.S. Dollar (DXY), 10-Yr Treasury Yield Rolling Over Large-caps (SPY, QQQ, DIA) remain bullish, mid-caps (IJH) are starting to outperform, and small-caps (IWM, IJR) are finally breaking out from major 2-year bases. Market generated information continues to tell us that a resurgence on the inflation front is unlikely; the 10-year Treasury yield has not been able to break above major 4.35% resistance and appears to be rolling over, while mid-caps are starting to outperform (and potentially small-...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Today's Fed Day to Determine Next Big Market Move? The S&P 500, Russell 2000 (IWM), and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) continue to have trouble breaking above their respective 200-day MAs and YTD downtrends, while the Dow Jones Industrials Average (DJIA) has been unable to sustain a breakout above 34,280. With that said, all four of these indexes are consolidating within tight ranges just below the aforementioned resistance levels, building energy for the eventual breakdown or breakout. We continue to recomm...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Headwinds Persist In last week's Compass (Aug. 23) we discussed the increasing odds for a deeper pullback in the broad market indexes due to 5-week uptrend breaks on the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000, the Fed tightening, and with Treasury yields, the U.S. dollar (DXY), and commodities (DJP) inflecting higher. We continue to see the market as being in pullback mode; the S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, and Russell 2000 are all approaching 50-day MA support, the first big area of interest on this pul...

Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

Overweight Defensives & Commodity Sectors Market dynamics are almost exclusively bearish and our key “lines in the sand” on the major indexes are being violated amid the escalating Russia/Ukraine war. This includes 4257 on the S&P 500, $334 on the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), and 33,250 on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, while the Russell 2000 (IWM) and Russel Micro Caps (IWC) have been below the important $209 and $134 levels, respectively, since mid-January. As long as prices are below the aforementio...

Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

Important "lines in the sand" have broken since our last ETF Pathfinder (Jan. 18), including $208 on the Russell 2000 index (IWM) and $134 on the Russell Micro Cap index (IWC); we are bearish on these indexes as long as they remain below their previous support levels. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) display uptrend violations and some sideways consolidation is likely; as long as 4257 and $334 supports hold, respectively, we cannot get too bearish. Breaks below these levels would sign...

Vermilion Compass: Weekly Equity Strategy

Market Sending Mixed Signals; Stick With Value The market continues to send a mix of risk-on and risk-off signals, though most of the risk-on signals are centered around value Sectors such as Energy, Financials, Manufacturing/Industrials, and Materials (currently our favorite areas). Meanwhile, some of our big picture "lines in the sand" are being violated, including the Russell Micro Caps index (IWC) which is breaking below $134 as the Russell 2000 index (IWM) tests critical support at $207.50...

Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

Bullish Developments Continue; Downgrading Communications Bullish developments continue to flood the market, leading us to believe we may be in the early stages of a broad-based advance. • Bullish Arguments Flooding the Market. Major global and US indexes (SPY, RSP, QQQ, EEM, EFA, EUFN, ACWI, Europe, Japan, etc.) are making bullish inflections. Serial laggards such as retail (XRT) and biotech (IBB, XBI) appear to be bottoming. Cyclical Sectors are breaking topside resistance (e.g., XLK, XLF,...

Vermilion ETF Pathfinder: Actionable ETF research & Ideas

The S&P 500 managed to close above the key 2,817 resistance level last week as the recovery from 4Q2018 continues. We would like to see a more decisive upside move and for the index stay above this level for a few more days before calling it an official breakout. Overall we remain positive and continue to believe a “buy the dip” strategy is warranted. Below we highlight several observations which lead us to our positive outlook: • An offensive Sector shift: We are upgrading Materials (RTM...

S&P 500 at new all-time highs with uptrend intact Risk-on. The S&P 500 has surpassed the January all-time high, staying above this level for over a week. What's more important is the 5-month uptrend remains intact and cyclical/risk-on areas are reasserting their leadership status. Think technology, discretionary, and biotech/medical devices - all current overweights. At the same time, defensive areas have petered out in terms of relative strength, exactly what we want to see in a healthy bull m...

Vermilion Macro Vision: U.S. Equity Strategy

The last several months have been that of digestion and consolidation. While Sector and group leadership have taken a back seat to stock selection, rotations still seem to be the norm. We have on a number of occasions indicated that the current rotations are reminiscent of the rotations of 1994. Bill Clinton was President and in that year the Republicans had swept the house under their “Contract with America”. Clinton had imposed tariffs on steel imports late in 1993 and with the onslaugh...

Valens Equity Insights and Inflections - 2018 04 25

LIN:DEU currently trades near historical highs relative to UAFRS-based (Uniform) Assets, with a 1.6x Uniform P/B.

Analysts have similar expectations, projecting Uniform ROA to improve to 7% by 2019, accompanied by 1% Uniform Asset shrinkage. However, Valens' qualitative analysis of the firm's Q4 2017 ear...

SPY - Embedded Expectations Analysis - 2018 04 19

The SPY currently trades at levels in line with pre-recession valuations relative to UAFRS-based (Uniform) Earnings, with a 20.1x Uniform P/E (Fwd V/E′). At these valuations, market expectations are for sustained profitability in line with recent trends, suggesting reasons to believe the fund is likely fairly valued at worst, with the potential for upside should growth improve going forward S&P 500 companies have seen Uniform ROA (ROA') plateau around 13% levels since 2010.

 The SPY currently trades at levels relative to UAFRS-based (Uniform) Earnings not seen since 2001, with a 23.7x Uniform P/E (V/E'). Expectations initially appear high, with the market expecting Uniform ROA (ROA') to sustain at forecasted peak 28% levels, with 6% Uniform Asset growth (Asset' growth), however upon deeper review, expectations do not appear unreasonable  S&P companies have consistently improved ROA' every year since 2002, seeing ROA' rise from 13% then, to 26% in 2016, and ...
