...HONG KONG/CHINA Bosideng International A warm and cosy stock A dominant brand with household recognition We initiate coverage on Bosideng with an Outperform, with 35% upside to our target price. Bosideng dominates China’s down jacket market with an estimated 37% market share in CY10. Its top brand is ranked the 13th most valuable consumer brand in China. We expect core revenue CAGR of 13% in FY12-14 on the back of continued penetration of down jackets in China. Additionally, Bosideng is building out a menswear business. While this makes up only 10% of revenues in FY12E, we expect it to generate organic revenue CAGR of 33% with the potential for further upside from acquisitions. High free cash flow and dividend yield Photo taken by the report’s lead analyst in rural China. “A Christmas to remember” – December 2010 3998 HK Price 27 Oct 11 12-month target Upside/Downside Valuation - PER Outperform HK$2.07 HK$ % HK$ 2.80 35.3 2.80 Bosideng is currently sitting on HK$2.8bn net cash and we forecast a free cash flow yield of 6% in FY12, rising to 10% in FY14. With a 75% payout ratio, Bosideng should generate a dividend yield of 8% in FY12. Bosideng is looking to make acquisitions in the highly fragmented menswear market. Past acquisitions have been successful and we don’t think it is likely the company will make any acquisition that depletes more than half of the cash pile at most; thus we think the dividend is secure. Market concerns are overdone Six out of...

...In 1889, a well-known Manila businessman, Don Enrique María Barretto de Ycaza y Esteban, applied for a royal grant from Spain to establish a brewery in the Philippines. He was awarded the grant for a period of twenty years. On September 29, 1890 (Michaelmas, or the feast day of Saint Michael the Archangel), La Fábrica de Cerveza de San Miguel was declared open for business. Located at 6 Calzada de Malacañang(later called Calle Avilés), the brewery took its name from its neighbourhood, the arrabal(suburb or district) of San Miguel. The facility had two sections: one devoted to the production of ice with a daily capacity of 5 tonnes, and the other to beer production. The brewery was the first in Southeast Asia using the most modern equipment and facilities of the day. With 70 employees, the plant produced 3,600 hectolitres (about 47,000 cases) of lager beer during the first year and subsequently produced other types of beer, notably Cerveza Negra, Eagle Extra Stout and Doble Bock. Early success led to the expansion of the business and Barretto decided to incorporate his brewery. On 6 June 1893, the company was incorporated and registered with a capital of P180,000. Those forming the corporation were Don Pedro Pablo Róxas y Castro, Don Gonzalo Tuasón y Patiño, Don Vicente D. Fernández y Castro, Don Albino Goyenechea, Benito Legarda y Tuáson, the heirs of Don Mariano Buenaventura y Chuidan and Barretto. Róxas was soon appointed manager, playing a prominent role in the development...

...June 02, 2014 MY Banking Sector SECTOR RESEARCH | Malaysia NEUTRAL Analyst Desmond Ch’ng, ACA (603) 2297 8680 (unchanged) Loan growth slows to 10% YoY Industry loan growth moderated to 10.0% YoY in Apr 2014 from 10.2% YoY in Mar 2014. All HH loan segments continued to register softer growth except residential property. Still NEUTRAL on the sector; BUYs are AMMB, HL Bank and HLFG. MPHB Capital is also a BUY with a TP of MYR2.42. desmond.chng@maybank-ib.com What’s New Industry loan growth was 10.0% YoY in Apr 2014, with household (HH) loans expanding at a more moderate 11.6% YoY in Apr 2014 vs 11.7% YoY in Mar 2014, while non-HH loan growth was a slower 7.9% YoY vs 8.3% YoY in Mar 2014. Positively, cumulative PDS issuances to date are 4.5% higher versus the same period last year. Also positive is the fact that industry fundamentals remain solid, with an all-time low gross NPL ratio of 1.8%, strong loan loss coverage at almost 105%, stable interest spreads and a stable loan/deposit ratio at 85%. What’s Our View Banks have become more selective in their approval of residential property loans but demand is likely to hold up due to: (i) expectations of higher property prices post GST; and (ii) prevailing negative real rates that will encourage investors to seek an inflation hedge. Whether this will prompt further property measures remains to be seen. Overall loan approval rates continue to soften while application trends have yet to see a meaningful...

In this report we are going to look at what creates each type of economy and where we can find examples of each within the world. First we are going to analysis the characteristic of a Free Market Economy. In a free market, the government’s role is to “make sure that the market is stable enough to, properly, conduct business” (Freidman). In purity, the system hopes to “eliminate subsidies for industries, the pre determination of prices, and the amount of regulation controlling certain industry sectors”(Freidman). The implementation of a free market introduced individual property rights, which allows citizens to voluntarily exchange property/resources at a price arranged solely by the mutual consent of the buyer and seller.

Section I introduces different analyses of China's WTO entry from the perspectives of Philippine official, academic as well as business circles. Section 2 discusses bilateral cooperation through trade, investments, and other forms of cooperation such as contracted projects, labor cooperation, air services agreement, and the development of agricultural technologies. Section 3 looks at the concerns of the Philippine government and the public with respect to China's accession to the WTO, reviewing the state of current relations and comparing this with China's relations with other Southeast Asian countries. Section 4 advances five issues pertaining to the rise of a Chinese "economic threat" following its entry into WTO. The paper concludes that China's WTO accession will help promote bilateral trade expansion, and bring about opportunities for Chinese private entrepreneurs to invest in the Philippines. However, China's WTO entry will also put added pressure on Philippine manufactures, further facilitating the flow of Chinese commodities, capital and personnel and aggravating the disputes that had already existed in the economic intercourse betv•.reen the two countries prior to WTO admission.
