Fomento SAB (FMX) – Bull of the Day

Zacks Market Commentaries (September 15th, 2009) Writes:
We are reiterating our recommendation on Fomento (FMX) shares given its relative immunity from the global economic downturn. Being a producer of a low-cost, daily use product, and focused on domestic markets, FMX is less exposed to the global economic downturn.

We are also optimistic about the joint venture between Jugos del Valle and the Coca-Cola company. The company has been successful in boosting its Brazilian business and the Oxxo stores continue to grow fast.

Our baseline outlook reflects continued economic growth in Latin America. We consider Latin America to be one of the most attractive areas for the beverage industry, due to positive demographics.Zacks Investment Research

Pepsico and AmBev – a Cola and a Beer, Together?

Investment U (July 22nd, 2009) Writes:

Pepsico and AmBev - a Cola and a Beer, Together?

Tony Daltorio, The Investment U Research Team

According to a recent research study for the Financial Times prepared by the consulting firm Wolff Olins, the world’s next top brands are set to rise in the east. A strategist at Wolff Olins, Melanie McShane, stated that “It used to be possible to be a global brand by dominating the US market. That’s changing rapidly. Now you have to be number one in Asia.”

The findings of the Wolff Olins research echo research by the US-based consulting firm, Bain & Co. Their research estimated that one-third of the FT Global 500 companies could come from emerging markets by 2015 thanks to what it calls a “seismic shift” away from developed markets.

A partner with Bain & Co. said that established western consumer

SectorWatch.biz: Building a Better Beverage

Stuart Smith (April 29th, 2009) Writes:

IRVINE, Calif., April 29, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — There are fads and there are trends and it’s clear that companies greatly prefer to capitalize on the latter. And while many might have made short term money selling survival kits for the fad of Y2K, those who focused on creating anti-virus software for the unfortunate trend that is this perennial malaise were far more greatly rewarded. Perhaps a similar example is at play in the ever-changing beverage market.

A trend has clearly been established. Consumers are shifting away from empty calorie beverages and heading toward functional ones. They are fiercely loyal and more willing to spend higher premiums to put the right stuff in their bodies. The proliferation of Fresh & Easy or Whole Foods health-oriented grocery stores should have sent a bold indicator that this consumer sentiment was trend not fad. And savvy beverage companies are capitalizing.
