Les arches dorées / Ouverture aujourd'hui

Vendredi dernier sur les ondes de radiopirate.com XM 172 , j'avais comme sujet l'entrée en bourse de la compagnie ARCOS DORADOS et voilà que je ne suis pas le seul intéressé à y investir car le prix initial a été "upgradé" cette semaine ...

Arcos Dorados, the world's largest McDonald's franchisee with 1,755 locations in Latin America, raised $1.25 billion by offering 73.5 million shares at $17.00, 21% above the midpoint of the $13-$15 range. The company had originally planned to offer 62.5 million shares, resulting in a total deal size 43% larger than originally anticipated. Arcos Dorados plans to list on the NYSE under the symbol ARCO. BofA Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, and Morgan Stanley acted as lead managers on the deal.

Des ANALystes "bullish" sur des stocks internet Chinois

SINA (SINA.q), owner of the Weibo microblogging service that is often referred to as China’s equivalent of Twitter, is soaring 5% today after Jefferies initiated coverage of the high-flying stock with a “buy” rating and a $150 price target, implying substantial upside from where the shares currently trade. The stock has gained 121% in the past six months. Jefferies said it expects Sina’s online ad revenue to jump 31.5% year-over-year and noted the company is well ahead of rivals in terms of browsing time, average page views per user a day and daily unique visitors. Shares of Baidu (BIDU.q), China’s largest provider of Internet search services, is up 2% after Jefferies started new coverage of that stock with a “buy” rating and a $200 price target. Jefferies is expecting Baidu to post revenue growth of 73% and profit growth of 76% this year and increases of 65% and 64% in 2012. The $200 price target implies significant upside from where the shares currently trade. Youku.com (YOKU.q) is up 5% after Maxim raised its price target on the stock $30 from $22, calling the stock a “momentum play.” Maxim notes the stock has jumped 20%-25% since Youku reported earnings in February. The firm said Yoku should become profitable in the second half of 2012, ahead of the previously expected first half of 2013. Maxim expects Youku to earn 4 cents a share in 2012 and 37 cents a share in 2013, well above the consensus estimates . Donc il faut surveiller aussi les autres Chinoiseries internet comme Changyou (CYOU.q), E-Commerce China Dangdang (DANG.q....qui est une aubaine d'après moi ...) et Sohu.com (SOHU.q).....et pourquoi pas les " Indiennes " ( SIFY.q ) ( REDF.q)...

Après le Portugal, la Grèce et l'Irlande, Fitch s'attaque à... la Chine. Craignant une surchauffe de la deuxième économie mondiale, l'agence de notation a adopté une perspective négative sur la note de la dette du pays. Première étape avant un possible "DOWNGRADE"...
"La croissance élevée des crédits, la hausse soutenue des prix des logements, et plus récemment les pressions inflationnistes, font grimper le risque pesant sur la stabilité macro-économique du pays", préviennent les analystes.
L'explosion du marché des crédits, octroyés en grande partie pour financer des projets immobiliers. Cette folie a entraîné des "excès", symbolisés par la part grandissante de la construction de logements résidentiels, qui a atteint 10% du PIB en 2010, dénonce Fitch.
L'agence met en doute la qualité de ces crédits et s'attend à une hausse des défauts des emprunteurs. Conséquence, les banques, qui, selon Fitch, sont probablement plus exposées au secteur immobilier que les données officielles ne le supposent, verraient alors leur bilan se dégrader fortement. Cela obligerait l'Etat à mettre la main à la poche pour refinancer le système financier.

Merci David...

Oil tumbled more than three per cent Tuesday after Goldman Sachs warned investors that crude is due for a "substantial pullback." Goldman analyst David Greely noted that global supplies remain "adequate" even though the rebellion in Libya has shut down production there. Before fighting broke out in February, Libya exported about 1.5 million barrels per day, or about two per cent of global demand, mostly to Europe. Fears of tightening global supplies have helped push oil prices 33 per cent higher since the middle of February. Benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude for May delivery gave up $3.71, or 3.4 per cent, to US$106.22 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange, shedding nearly two weeks of price increases. At one point it dropped to $105.60.

Un p'tit Kindle à 114$

Amazon has announced a third, cheaper version of its Wi-Fi-only Kindle 3 device called Kindle With Special Offers. At $114, the 6-inch device costs $25 less than the current Wi-Fi-only model and sports all of the same specs. The catch? Users will have to bypass the occasional special offer and look on sponsored screensavers from the likes of Buick, Olay and Visa when their devices are idle. Amazon assures us that the screensavers are “attractive,” and is even trying to give consumers some agency by letting them vote on the screensavers they would like to appear on their devices. The Kindle With ""Special Offers"" is now available for pre-order in the U.S. and will ship on May 3.

China news...

China's imports rose 32.6% year on year $400.66 billion in Q1 2011, resulting in the first quarterly trade deficit of $1.02 billion in six years, according to customs figures. China recorded a $13.91 billion trade surplus in Q1 2010. Soybean exports were down 0.7% year on year to 10.96 million tons; iron ore imports were up 14.4% year on year to 177.17 million tons; crude oil imports were up 11.9% year on year to 63.41 million tons

Vehicle sales in China totaled 4.98 million units including 3.84 million passenger cars in Q1 2011, up 8.1% and 9.1% respectively from the same period a year ago, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.

3D TV sales in China are expected to top five million units this year, predicted Jin Zhongde, vice president of LG Display Guangzhou branch.

China's consumption of machine tools was larger than the US, Japan and Germany combined last year, according to the Seminar on Advanced Manufacturing Technology and Cutting Tools. The industry produced ¥553.68 billion of products in 2010, up 40.6% from a year earlier.

Hedge fund manager John Paulson said residential real estate prices could pose a threat to the U.S. economic recovery and that it will be difficult for property values to rebound this year. Paulson made the remarks in an interview with the French financial newspaper Les Echos, according to Bloomberg. Paulson knows a little something about the housing. His firm, Paulson & Co. made billions of dollars betting against the subprime mortgage market before the financial crisis started. Paulson then profited from a rebound in the U.S. economy, in part by loading up on financial services stocks. At the end of 2010, Paulson held stakes in financial services stocks such as Bank of America , Citigroup , Capital One Financial , SunTrust Banks and Wells Fargo . “In my eyes, the major risk for the American recovery is the stagnation of the residential real-estate market,” Paulson said, according to Bloomberg, citing Les Echos. “It will be difficult to have a rebound in real-estate prices this year.” Paulson cited gold as a preferred investment for dealing with the inflationary risks of the next three to five years and the instability of the euro, Bloomberg reported. The Paulson Gold Fund had $900 million in assets under management at the end of last year when the firm held stakes in miners such as Anglogold (AU) and Gold Fields (GFI) and the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), the second-largest ETF in the world as ranked by assets.

TAB...PAD...etc...

La domination de l'iPad d'Apple sur le marché naissant des tablettes numériques ne devrait pas être menacée avant plusieurs années, tandis que Google rattrapera son retard, rapporte lundi le cabinet d'études Gartner.

Selon les prévisions de Gartner, quelque 70 millions de tablettes seront vendues cette année et 108 millions en 2012, contre 17,6 millions en 2010. La part de marché d'Apple va progressivement baisser à 47% en 2015 contre 69% cette année, tandis que celle de Google passera sur la même période de 20% à 39%. La tablette Playbook de Research In Motion, qui sera lancée le 19 avril au Canada et aux Etats-Unis, sera numéro trois sur le marché dès cette année, avec une part estimée à 5,6%. Celle-ci devrait atteindre 10% en 2015 selon les projections de Gartner. "Les entreprises seront principalement intéressées par les tablettes de RIM, soit parce qu'elles utilisent déjà les infrastructures de RIM, soit parce qu'elles ont des exigences de sécurité élevées", a expliqué Carolina Milanesi, analyste chez Gartner.

MKM Partners analyst Tero Kuittinen raised his rating on shares of Qualcomm (QCOM.q) to Buy from Neutral, with a $63 price target, arguing that the company is poised to get “notable new contracts” from Nokia , Research in Motion , and Apple . Kuittinen now sees Qualcomm shipping 486 million units of its “mobile station modem,” up from an estimate of 483 previously, at an average price of $16.73 per unit, up from $16.29 previously. He estimates $3.15 per share in profit this fiscal year, up from $2.84 previously, and above the average $3.04 estimate on the Street.

Les investisseurs observeront de près les bénéfices affichés par les entreprises et leurs prévisions cette semaine, alors que débute la "earnings season " aux Etats-Unis. Le groupe Alcoa ouvrira le bal lundi après clôture des Bourses. Parmi les autres publications particulièrement attendues , JPMorgan Chase & Co, Bank of America et la grosse tech Google. Les investisseurs devraient également être rassurés par l'accord trouvé vendredi soir aux Etats-Unis entre démocrates et républicains au sujet du budget fédéral, permettant d'éviter de justesse une paralysie d'une grande partie des services publics. La publication d'une série d'indicateurs, baromètres de la reprise économique, devrait également animer les marchés ..... l'indice des prix à la consommation et l'indice du sentiment du consommateur de l'Université du Michigan.
