The year-ahead process
The goal of this document is to present our key strategy themes for 2011 using most- and least-favored stocks from J.P.
Morgan’s LatAm equity research team.
This 150+ page handbook includes strategy sections from our country strategists as well as overviews on the outlook for
each major company sector and the analysts’ top picks and stocks to avoid for the year ahead. Analysts were asked to pick
1-2 large cap stocks that should lead performance in 2011 as well as a large cap stock they expected to underperform.
We are positive LatAm into 2011. Macro fundamentals are robust, credit conditions very supportive, EM fund inflows
expected to remain strong. Valuations are not stretched, and the earnings backdrop robust. Risks range from the fiscal and
interest rates outlook in Brazil, to the security situation in Mexico, and the presidential elections in 2011 in Argentina and
Peru. Capital control risks also remain real, especially in Brazil.

LatAm Strategy
We are positive LatAm into 2011. Macro fundamentals
are robust, credit conditions very supportive, EM fund
inflows expected to remain strong. Valuations are not
stretched, and the earnings backdrop robust. Risks range
from the fiscal and interest rates outlook in Brazil, to the
security situation in Mexico, and the presidential
elections in 2011 in Argentina and Peru. Capital control
risks also remain real, especially in Brazil. We are
overweight Brazil relative to MSCI LatAm index, as
valuations are reasonable, flows returning, and market
overhangs – such as the Petrobras offering and the
presidential election – are lifting. We also see
outperformance from Colombia and Argentina. We are
neutral Mexico, and underweight Chile. We focus on
domestic stocks for which we see good growth and
reasonable valuations, such as financials and
homebuilders.
Fundamentals to remain robust: 2010 and 2011 GDP
growth expectations have been rising, and are above
long-term potential GDP growth. This has been
supporting the earnings revision cycle. Inflation
expectations have also been rising, and Central Banks
are expected to gradually tighten policy in 2011, within
the constraint of appreciating currencies but partly offset
by output gaps remaining in some countries. Long-term
REERs point to the undervaluation of the Mexican Peso,
and overvaluation of the Brazilian Real. For more on
economics team’s view, please see Latin America

Credit conditions remain supportive: This could
support a meaningful multiple rerating and increased
equity fund flows and is already altering corporate
behavior. The strong outperformance of EM corporates
has significantly improved relative valuations. The lower
LatAm cost of equity has pushed up ‘fair value’ for
stocks. Regional corporates are responding by
releveraging and stepping up M&A activity, and
financials are boosting capital. EM corporates are seeing
strong fund inflows. This is a mirror of what equities are
seeing. We believe the drivers here are sustainable into
2011, with risk-free rates likely to stay very low, EMBI
spreads tight, and the EM growth premium high. See our
recent note for details: LatAm Strategy – Credit rally
supports equities.

EM fund flows continue strong: Year-to-date equity
fund flows into EM have exceeded US$70 billion, above
the previous record of US$64bn in 2009. These flows
have been focused on ETF products and on EM and Asia
funds. Flows into LatAm, as proxied by LatAm funds,
have been poor. Fund flows should continue strong, as
both global equity allocations increase, EM allocations
within global equities are built, and LatAm flows within
EM recover as Brazil ‘overhangs’ lift. This is a
phenomenon across the asset class and has arguably been
more powerful in corporate and FX markets so far. We
generally see this as another source of upside risk to
multiples. Risk here is from issuance, which has been
high. Please see our weekly fund flows product for
details: Herd Instinct.

Capital control risks: Virtually every EM CB has
intervened, and a number already have controls. Pressure
will likely continue, as we expect more FX appreciation,
with US$ weakness to persist and EM inflows to build.
We see ‘real’ capital controls, such as unremunerated
reserve requirements and minimum holding periods, as
unlikely. An increase in transaction costs – such as
Brazil’s 2% equity IOF – is a last resort, but arguably
near inevitable in this flows environment. It is not
enough to change our positive view on Brazil, where the
potential upside beats a moderate potential transaction
cost increase. For details see our report: The threat from
capital controls.

Other risks: Brazil fiscal and rates outlook. In the short
term we await to see the composition of Dilma
Rousseff’s first cabinet and the outlines of fiscal policy
going forward. This is important as an early indication of
the policy direction of the new administration at a time
when inflation expectations are drifting higher and the
economy is growing above potential. Mexico security
concerns. Investor angst here is high. We see this as an
unfortunate issue that detracts from growth (1-1.5%pa)
at a bad time, with the economy weak. We believe
greater concerns here are likely overdone, with violence
localized and largely between cartels. The risk is that this
spreads to Mexico City or cartels decide to openly target
the State and civilians. The electoral calendar in 2011 is
significant. Peru presidential elections are in April, with
three centrist candidates leading in the polls and leftist
Ollanta Humala currently 4th. He is likely to rise
somewhat (and this could unnerve markets) though
unlikely to ultimately prevail. Argentina also goes to the
polls in October. The political environment has been
thrown open by the unexpected death of ex-President
Kirchner. This potentially opens the way for a more
market-friendly candidate, possibly from within the
Peronist party.
Valuations are not stretched: We do not see LatAm
valuations as demanding, with most metrics within
historical ranges or at discounts to peers’. LatAm is
currently trading on 11.9x 12m forward P/E, compared
to 11.6x for emerging markets and 11.5x for global
equities. This 12m forward P/E is at the top end of the
region’s 15-year average. As highlighted before, the
current regional cost of equity would argue for
significant multiple expansion from these levels. When
comparing EM countries we are also careful to adjust for
index composition. This makes commodity-heavy
indices such as Brazil more expensive and staples-heavy
indices such as Mexico and Chile somewhat cheaper.

LatAm enjoyed a strong earnings recovery cycle in
2010. We expect this to stabilize in 2011. LatAm
earnings growth (local currency) is forecast at 21% for
next year versus 15% for developed markets. This is a
high number, and we see risks as balanced. Commodity
earnings have been easing – especially in steels and
Petrobras. Domestic earnings have been moving higher
as GDP expectations are raised, and earnings remain
below all-time highs despite higher nominal GDP
growth. Forecasts for Mexico and Brazil are very similar
(~20-21%).

MSCI LatAm EPS revision cycle
1. The positive view is that lower risk-free rates are
sustainable for 2011, as we forecast, and this justifies
further multiple rerating. This could be significant. Our
Gordon-growth ‘fair’ value target is near 15.0x earnings,
over 30% above current multiples. This indicator has
tracked well historically. Upside here is concentrated in
Brazil. This targets 53% upside for the region and 70%
for Brazil. Mexico is penalized by a potentially too
aggressive 2.5% potential GDP growth.

3. The cautious view assumes both a derating and that
earnings fall. A derating scenario back to long-term
historical multiples (down 14%, from 12.0x to 10.5x
earnings) and a 20% fall in index earnings versus current
expectations, as we assume earnings growth only in line
with nominal GDP growth. This shows 14% downside
for the region, led by Colombia, with Chile defensive.

2. The mid-case assumes current multiples are fair, at
the top end of long-term historical ranges, and consensus
earnings growth correct, at a reasonable premium to
nominal GDP growth. This targets respectable 18%
upside, with all countries closely clustered. This would
be our Mexico base case.

Attractive risk/reward for 2011 justifies continued
bullish positioning. We run three valuation scenarios for
2011. The MSCI LatAm potential upside is 53% and the
potential downside 14%. For details see our report:
Measuring the risk/reward.
Our baseline view is somewhere between the more
bullish two scenarios, looking for even lower Treasury
yields and tight EM spreads, whilst the relative
Emerging growth and earnings premium remain high,
continuing to attract flows and support multiples. QE2
and recent developed market data have reduced
downside tail-risks.

We remain overweight Brazil, with valuations
significantly derated, strongly returning flows, and
multiple overhangs (election, rate cycle, Petrobras, China
slowdown) reduced. Fiscal policy and equity IOF risks
remain but are manageable. The focus remains on
domestic stocks, especially those with growth at
reasonable multiples, such as financials and
homebuilders. We have good growth visibility, the
earnings revision cycle remains positive, and valuations
ex-staples are all cheap/fair. Top-performing staples and
retailers are expensive and will likely keep performing in
this environment if they can continue delivering on
earnings. However, this does not mean the risk/reward is
attractive. We are selective and own CBD. We see cheap,
underowned, but low-growth sectors – such as utilities
and telecom – as value traps but have continued to
selectively add where we see pockets of growth (such as
NII Holdings and TSU). In our model portfolio, we are
neutral energy (positive oil and E+P but cautious
Petrobras), and underweight materials – we are positive
Vale but own no Steels. The sector is cheap (though
earnings are falling), underowned, and benefiting in the
short term from perceived QE upside, though global
growth remains subpar and the sector chronically
oversupplied.
Brazil macro outlook
We are neutral Mexico. The market has performed well
in the last month on signs of a bottoming in US growth
expectations (we took our global growth numbers up for
the first time since April) and moderate Mexican
consumer acceleration. We do not see Mexico as
underweight, with the market well supported by a
gradual US growth reacceleration, high equity market
correlation, undervalued currency, easy monetary policy,
and valuations less expensive than they ‘seem’. However,
the traditional drivers of Mexican outperformance are
lacking – major market sell-off, strong US data surprise,
or strong local consumer recovery. We focus on
domestic recovery plays – Televisa, First Cash, AMX –
and special situations – Cemex and ICA.

In the smaller markets, we struggle to see a sustainable
second leg to the well-known (and very positive)
Chilean story. Valuations are high, and the stocks we
want to own (banks/discretionary) are even pricier. We
do see further fundamental upside in Colombia on the
ongoing reform agenda, investment grade outlook, and
capital markets development, but would play this off
index (through Copa and Pacific Rubiales) given high
on-index valuations. We remain exposed to Argentina.
Valuations have become expensive at first glance, but
the outlook for real political change – however moderate
– means the market still likely has upside. Penetration
rates are low and nontraditional valuation metrics
(franchise value, replacement cost) attractive. We stick
with GF Galicia.

Source: Bloomberg, MSCI, J.P. Morgan estimates. All estimates are for the calendar year. Updated as of 3 November 2010.
Our LatAm model portfolio is a vehicle to express our strategy views on regional equity markets, sectors, and stocks. This
portfolio will normally include stocks which will be constructed relative to the MSCI EM Latin America Index and will be
updated on a regular basis through our ‘LatAm Key Trades’ publication. The portfolio is primarily driven by our
fundamental analyst views, and we use our analysts’ published company valuation and estimates to support inclusion, but a
strategy overlay is incorporated and hence the published strategy may on occasion differ from analyst views. Analyst
ratings are driven by company attractiveness relative to their sector coverage, whereas we take a regional LatAm view. The
portfolio can include: 1) non-Latin America listed stocks, to the extent the region is a significant company driver; and 2)
stocks not currently covered by JPM analysts, to the extent these are heavily weighted MSCI Latin America Index
companies, though these companies must always be incorporated at a neutral relative weighting so as to express no strategy
or fundamental view.
This portfolio has been run since November 2007. Year to date in 2010 the portfolio is up 22.0% compared to a rise for the
MSCI LatAm index of 12.0%. This return is indicative only and is calculated on price returns only, excluding dividends but
also excluding trading costs – which an invested portfolio would bear. Portfolio changes are implemented on the day of
‘Key Trades’ publication.

Emerging Market Equity
Strategy
We are bullish on EM equities. Our end 2011 target for
MSCI EM is 1500 (+25%). Based on consensus 2012
EPS the forward PE at 1500 is 13. Current credit
conditions could support a larger re-rating (please see
page 27 for potential returns). MSCI EM life high is
1338 (29 October 2007).
What about the biggest bull market of your career?
Between 11 March 2003 and 29 October 2007 MSCI
EM increased from 270 to 1338; +395%, or an
annualized return of 38%. On 2 March 2009 EM was
475. The index is 140% higher today. To match the
2003/7 bull market MSCI EM would need to be 2351 by
20 October 2013. This requires an annualized return
of 21%.
In last year’s Emerging Markets Year Ahead our end2010 MSCI EM target was 1200. The index is within 5%
of this target. But the ride was not smooth; between 15
April and 25 May the index declined by 19% to 855.
Zero interest rates, QE2, currency wars, and high
correlation across asset classes are likely to lead to
volatility in 2011. Even with this year’s volatility, EM
volatility-adjusted returns are the highest for growth
assets.
Our asset allocation starts with long-term trends (EM
consumer, China’s changing economic policy, sector
RoEs and investment cycles, currencies, etc.) combined
with short-term tactical allocation driven by market
factors (relative valuations and performance, retail
activity, consensus positioning). Benchmark composition
often represents historical rather than future growth
trends. We are bullish on the Brazilian and Chinese
domestic economies yet have been underweight these
markets in 2010. We have been overweight Brazilian and
Chinese domestic demand but underweight the larger
sectors, i.e., energy, materials and Chinese SoEs. As was
the case in 2010, focus on sectors within countries
rather than simple country asset allocation (see page
26).
Investors are seeking carry, growth and momentum.
Both emerging fixed income and equity markets offer
this. For now it is foolish to fight the trend. But
remember the risks (see page 31). QE2 is an experiment.
China’s ability to rebalance the driver of growth from
investment to consumption is also an experiment.

Monitor the data; core inflation, property sales, actual
commodity demand rather than financial demand, etc.

Latin America Equity Research
November 2010
There is limited statistical evidence of valuations mean
reverting in EM (see figure on previous page). Investors
should focus on factors that are currently driving a re- or
derating. The rerating factors are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Expanding growth premium in a low-growth world
Equities are cheap relative to sovereign and
corporate bonds
Accelerating investment and consumption growth in
key EMs
Lower relative risk profile of EM versus DM
Base Case
In the risk section on page 31 we highlight the risks to
our base case.
The declining EM risk premium continues
Emerging economies survived the big ugly experiment
of an extreme external demand shock and a credit crisis.
This hit EM economies when they were a year into a
tightening cycle. In passing this test and with the
economies recovering ahead of developed economies,
the risk premium demanded for EM should decline. Note
that stock-specific risk (corporate governance,
transparency, policy risk, etc.) is still higher.
Strong demand for EM credit and carry continues
Investor appetite for risk has slowly increased since 9
March 2009. The bias is corporate credit for yield and
emerging markets for growth. EM US dollar and local
currency credit offers both and is thus attracting large
flows relative to its market cap. J.P. Morgan forecast for
this to continue in 2011. We maintain our CEMBI
surfer theme of favoring current account deficit
markets.
High nominal growth and nominal FX appreciation
Data support positive nominal GDP revisions. These
data include strong retail sales, car sales and loan
growth. EM Central Banks are slowing FX appreciation
but not reversing the trend.

DM neither a driver nor a drag
Focus on the local EM dynamics rather than swings in
net exports. Economic expansion in the US and Euro
Area resumed in 3Q09. J.P. Morgan forecast 2011 GDP
growth of 2.5% and 1.5% for the US and Euro Area
respectively. This growth may be politically
unacceptable as it is too slow to reduce unemployment,
but for EM, slow DM growth is a benign to positive
backdrop. It is benign for external demand and positive
as interest rates remain low.

Investment Themes
China drifts away from the Asian growth model
China is a souped-up version of the Asian growth model.
Investment rather than consumption drives growth. This
requires a transfer of wealth from the household sector to
the corporate sector through low wages, low return on
savings and undervalued currency. 2010 policy and the
12th Five-Year Plan all point to a move toward
consumption. This is a long-term positive. But it may
mean that the growth in Chinese commodity demand is
overestimated. Beneficiaries of the change are a small
part of the benchmark, which may result in ongoing
underperformance of MSCI China.
Structural OW on domestic demand
This is where the growth is (globally). We acknowledge
that these stocks do trade at a premium and the call is
consensus.
Beware co-investing with governments
A third of MSCI market cap is companies in which
governments are the controlling shareholder. It can be
profitable being a minority shareholder in these
companies when the major shareholder offers favorable
policies and is focused on returns. With today’s flood of
capital into EMs, investor-friendly policies may not be a
top priority and thus these companies could be at risk
from politically expedient policies.
SoEs are 79% of MSCI China market cap. Policies
designed to boost consumption by increasing the
household income-to-GDP ratio will reduce the ratio of
profits to GDP. SoEs in our view are particularly
vulnerable to policy risk. Our structural bias is to be
underweight SoEs. Russian oils stocks’
underperformance is notable, with Rosneft, Lukoil and
Gazprom unchanged year to date. In contrast, Russian
financials are up 25% ytd. Gazprom, with one-sixth of
the world’s oil reserves, has a 2011e PE of 4. Russian
energy stocks are unlikely to rerate while the market
fears higher taxes.

FDI in non-China EM increases
Higher labor cost, strengthening Renminbi and tensions
between Japan and China improves the attractiveness of
other emerging markets for FDI. The main beneficiaries
are ASEAN, Turkey and Mexico. Note in table below
that a small change in China’s share of FDI could lead to
a large increase in FDI in ASEAN.

Warning flags: Real credit growth and core CPI
Central banks responding to inflation have always ended
the bull market in EM. As of now EM central banks have
maintained a pro-growth bias even when headline
inflation is higher than the target level. Each week we
publish a detailed table on inflation in our dashboards.
The warning flags are a combination of higher real credit
growth and rising core CPI. These conditions increase
the probability of the central bank moving to a policy
designed to slow growth in order to fight inflation. EM
equities are growth assets. Lower growth and higher
discount rates result in a derating.

CEMBI surfers still riding in 2011
Demand for EM credit remains strong (see Error!
Reference source not found.). The yield on the
emerging market corporate bond indices (CEMBI) is
5.3%; this is lower than the average investment grade
bond yield in past decade (JULI). Our bias is to own
current account deficit markets when credit conditions
are favorable; OW India and Turkey.

Growth premiums continue to expand
Lack of developed world growth combined with low
discount rates supports high growth premium. Maintain a
structural bias to high growth themes; EM consumer.

Liquidity without a valuation anchor
The range of valuations since late 2007 is extremely
wide. Correlation of risk asset is high, indicating that
asset-specific fundamentals are secondary to general
market trend. Higher commodity prices are partly
justified by monetary conditions rather than supply or
demand. Equities are inexpensive relative to bonds but if
economic activity improves then bonds are expensive.

The lack of valuation anchors in equities, bonds,
commodities and currencies means a wide range of
possible returns and high volatility. It is critical to keep
monitoring the fundamentals while acknowledging that
the near term drivers of markets are dominated by
momentum and casual relationships between asset
classes. When implied volatility is low, consider buying
protection. Remember that the 2003/7 EM bull market
had five 15-20% corrections.

Higher REER bad for exporters’ margins
Capital-flows support EM FX appreciation. Nominal
appreciation combined with inflation differentials results
in a real effective exchange rate appreciation. In China
there have been a number of large wage increases in
foreign owned export factories. This is bad for margins.
Avoid export industries in Brazil and China with a large
labor cost.

Potential Returns and
Earnings Estimates
End-2011 strategy team index forecasts
• MSCI EM 1500 (+25%)
Base case
• Current MSCI EM forward PE 11.6
• 2012 MSCI EM EPS 112 (before currency
appreciation)
• EM FX appreciation 5%
• 10% re-rating to forward PE 13
Statistical warning
EM equity markets’ valuations trend rather than meanrevert. Indices also evolve with sector composition
changing. The growth characteristics of stocks also
change and thus their valuations. Prior to the mid-90s
current account crisis, fixed exchange rates and high
nominal growth supported high valuations. Investors
should be suspicious of statistical justification for index
targets.
Pick your methodology
To illustrate the impact of different methodologies on
potential returns we calculate index targets using six
assumptions:
1.
Current earnings to bond yield ratio using
September 2011 yield forecast and end-2011e PE.
5. Five-year average earnings to bond yield ratio using
September 2011 yield forecast and end-2011e PE.
6. Current forward PE multiplied by 2012e EPS based
on the lower of 2012e EPS growth or potential
nominal GDP.
7. Current forward PE multiplied by 2012 EPS forecast.
8. Three-year average PE multiplied by 2012 EPS
forecast.
9. Gordon Growth model theoretical PE multiplied by
2012e EPS. This generates PE in excess of 30 for six
markets as local bond yields in these countries are
very low relative to nominal GDP growth and RoE.

median EPS growth is 24% (see second table on
next page).
Dissection of EM EPS
growth
The objective
Disaggregate the EM EPS growth into countries, sectors
and key sectors in countries.
Main observations on 2011e EPS growth
• MSCI EM weighted and median EPS growth is
17%. This is 5% higher than our economists’ 2011
nominal GDP growth forecast of 12%.
•
Financials and materials are the highest contributors
to 2011e earnings growth.
•
The contribution of IT and healthcare is the lowest
(see top table, next page).
•
Two sectors contribute c20% of MSCI EM 2011e
EPS growth; Brazilian steel and Russian oil & gas
sectors (2011e EPS growth for Vale, Sider and
Gazprom is estimated by IBES to be 41%, 44% and
23% respectively).
•
Note that the weighted EPS growth for Taiwan
electronic components is high at 62% (primarily due
Dataset
IBES EPS forecasts for MSCI EM constituents
Calculation
The index’s calendar year EPS is calculated using the
profit-weight of the constituents.
Index EPS = I x (∑ (C-EPS x FFS) / ∑ (FFS x P))
where C-EPS = Index constiuent’s EPS, FFS = free float
shares for the constituents, I = index level and P =
current market price.
The check
Median EPS growth of the index constituents:
Reviewing the median helps identify sectors in which a
single stock’s impact on weighted EPS growth is large.
This could be due its large weight in the index or moving
from loss to profit.

Risks to our strategy
Market risks
Lack of valuation cushion
Our strategy is biased toward growth with good
momentum but at a valuation premium. A growth
premium is justified in a world where growth is in short
supply. High valuations are vulnerable to a reversal in
EM portfolio flows and stock-specific risk.
Bond market volatility
The Fed’s objective with QE2 is to lower bond yields.
The result is that bonds are expensive relative to J.P.
Morgan’s growth forecasts. Higher US growth could
lead to a spike in bond yields.
Politics: Elections and change of leadership in Brazil
and China
Leadership change in China will occur in 2012. The
transition may result in confusion on policy. Brazil’s
new president needs to maintain reform momentum and
develop infrastructure.

Capital controls
Strong foreign inflows and continued FX appreciation
have prompted EM central banks to implement capital
control measures. These include: 1) Increase in IOF tax
on foreign purchase of fixed income instruments from
2% to 6% in Brazil; 2) One-month minimum holding
period restriction on SBI bonds in Indonesia; 3) 15%
withholding tax on foreign bond holders in Thailand; 4)
Restrictions on forward currency positions of foreign
bank branches and local banks in South Korea. For
equity investors, controls designed to reduce the
effective carry in fixed income markets are ok. Broader
capital controls which reduce the ability of equity
investors to buy and sell would be negative as they
reduce liquidity and increase volatility.
EM CPI and earnings yield
Anti-asset inflation policies
Central banks are targeting asset prices in EM to counter
asset inflation. These policies introduce economic and
sector-specific risks. Note how poorly real estate stocks
have performed in EM despite low interest rates.
Trade wars
High US unemployment, China’s large current account
surplus and polarized politics in the US increase the risk
of a trade war.

Strained social contract
Political and regulatory risk is high. The corporate sector
has emerged from the global recession and credit crunch
stronger than the households. Note that profits as a share
of GDP are near cyclical highs but unemployment is
10%. Policy makers constrained by high fiscal deficits
are likely to redress this imbalance through higher taxes
and increased regulation. This would add to business
costs and delay normal investment decisions, threatening
the recovery.

As is the case in the US, Chinese corporate share of GDP
increased while the household share decreased. Labor
disputes and subsequent large pay increases may start to
reverse this trend. This rebalancing is healthy and should
move China to a more sustainable growth model. But
near term the result is likely lower profit margins.

Economic risks
Uncertain outlook for commodities
Our commodities and energy underweight is driven by a
combination of long-term economic cycles and a
potential inflection point in the growth of Chinese
material demand. The timing is complicated by the large
influence of financial investors on commodity markets.
The timing risk in a bearish view on commodity
companies is high. Industrial metal prices rallied since
May while global leading indicators fell. Correlation of
commodities to risk assets (equities) is high today.
Momentum in a world of zero interest rates is an
attractive attribute. An UW commodity call is unlikely to
work at this point. When it does eventually, the
correction may prove to be violent as financial investors
exit.

Unintended consequences of QE2
If QE2 results in a sharp increase in commodity prices it
may choke off growth and ultimately be
counterproductive.
Peripheral Europe sovereign stress
Greek, Irish and Portuguese bond spreads to German
bunds are at record highs. Sovereign stress could disrupt
risk appetite as it did in 2Q10.
US state and municipal stress
US states and municipalities are required to balance their
budgets. The result may be rising unemployment as US
local government downsizes. This would place a larger
burden on the private sector to create jobs.

Recommendations
We recommend exposure to domestic names and are
focused on financials and homebuilders. Although we
like discretionary, we feel that there are better entry
points considering the strong performance of late. In
financials, Bradesco is our top pick, a blue chip, large
cap bank that can better withstand the rise in interest
rates as about 30% of its business is insurance. In
homebuilders, we like PDG: the stock is cheaper than
peers’, benefits from the Agre acquisition are not fully
priced, the company is fully exposed to the high-growth
lower-income segment. On the commodity side, we
likeVale: it is cheap, with risks mostly priced in already,
while China appears to be rebounding. In the oil and gas
sector, we recommend OGX as the better vehicle to get
exposure to offshore as more of the company’s findings
are turning into reserves.

Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Valuation is not an impediment to Brazil’s performance.
The country is trading in line with the five-year average,
with commodities cheaper than domestics but with the
latter likely delivering more growth in the short/medium
run. Flows are key for performance and are catching up
in 4Q 2010 after being lackluster most of the year. With
major hurdles behind (large capitalizations, elections)
and DM prospects of a muddle-through, inflows into
Brazilian equities are likely to be boosted in 2011.
Household consumption rising above GDP (4Q/4Q rolling average)
Jul-09
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Credit growth at around 20% combined with the best
labor market in a generation provides for a sturdy
outlook for consumption in 2011. We forecast GDP of
4.5% in 2011, on top of 7.5% in 2010e. Strong growth is
adding to inflation risks, and we expect a rise in interest
rates in 2011. Although GDP is little influenced by
commodities (exports = 11%), Brazil’s two largest
companies are commodity driven. Over the next few
years, investment (under 18% of GDP) will need to rise
to meet the country’s need for more capacity and
infrastructure. This would also allow for faster
sustainable growth in the years to come.
Bloomberg JPMA SHAYO <GO>
Aug-09
Key country dynamics
Domestic growth and China’s demand for commodities
are the main drivers for Brazil in 2011, together with a
clearer definition of policies to be adopted by the newly
elected government. The exchange rate is an important
focus, with capital control risks on the rise.

Mexico Strategy
Key country dynamics
The key constraints on Mexican equities are structurally
lower US GDP growth and a lackluster Mexican
consumer rebound. This is offset by a cheap currency,
easy monetary policy, a gradual reacceleration of US
economic growth – at least into mid-2011 – and a high
market correlation with US equities. Additionally, we
view some concerns as currently overdone – such as the
fiscal situation (oil production has stabilized) and
security environment (violence localized) – whilst others
are not – such as Mexico’s declining equity market
relevance on lack of issuance.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Mexican GDP growth is set to slow next year (to 3.5%
from an estimated 4.5% in 2010), along with the US
(2.7% GDP growth to 2.5% in 2011e). Manufacturing
and IP, which led the sharp growth recovery from the
-6.5% seen in 2009, should slow and domestic demand
increasingly come to the fore. Consensus MSCI Mexico
earnings growth could be at risk, with expectations for
18% growth versus only 12% this year. Growth is
expected to be led by staples and materials.

Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Mexico is trading at the high end of traditional valuation
ranges, and we do not see room for significant multiple
expansion. The valuation premiums to other markets are
lower than they seem, often just reflecting Mexico’s high
staples and telecom index composition. Whilst the
traditional drivers of Mexican outperformance – 1)
significant market weakness, 2) strong US macro
surprise, 3) strong Mexico consumer recovery – look
absent to us in 2011, we do expect respectable absolute
performance. Local investors remain underweight the
market and are seeing robust inflows. Foreign investors
remain moderately overweight.
Recommendations
Our strategy focus is on stocks exposed to the
strengthening domestic demand environment at
reasonable valuations. We also like a number of special
situations exposed to recovering infrastructure segments.
We would avoid very defensive staples with high
valuations and low gearing to the strengthening
consumer.

Chile Strategy
Key country dynamics
Chile will look to build on the momentum of an historic
2010, which saw the inauguration of center-right Piñera
(after 20 years of the center-left Concertacion), an 8.8magnitude earthquake (5th largest in history), World
Cup success (advancing to the round of 16), the
country’s 200-year anniversary and the unprecedented
extraction of 33 miners trapped underground for 68 days.
Confidence is running high, and the country appears to
be entering a period of renewal, which could accelerate
the path to developed country status (possibly by the end
of the decade). However, with expectations mounting,
there is room for disappointment, especially if
social/political differences get in the way of progress.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
For the first time in recent years, Chile is expected to
lead regional growth in the coming year on the back of
an aggressive Piñera pro-growth agenda, accelerated by
ongoing earthquake reconstruction efforts. This should
be further helped by supportive demand dynamics out of
China and expansionary fiscal policies (benchmark rate
not likely to surpass 4.25% – lowest YE11e level in the
region), not to mention micro-level incentives for
investment by both locals and foreigners.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
The top-down scenario remains attractive, but valuations
are lofty at nearly 18x forward P/E, representing a 50%
premium to LatAm, which is just ahead of historical
levels (despite recent factors that are working to close
the spread – such as the move to IFRS and regional
expansion). As the Chile premium suggests, performance
is largely tied to supportive domestic flows (and limited
foreign ownership). This support was strong in 2010
given weakness elsewhere. In the event that key markets,
such as Brazil, China and the US, perform well in 2011
(especially relative to domestic fixed income), this will
likely limit domestic flows, specifically from pension
funds, which may be forced to trim domestic equity
positions to remain within their limits.
Recommendations
Although we like the Chile growth profile, we focus on
names that are expanding abroad (Falabella, CCU). We
also find copper play Antofagasta at an attractive
valuation with significant growth potential. We avoid
utility IAM, given strong relative outperformance in the
utilities sector and potential Aguas Andinas share sale
overhang. We also see limited upside after the
speculative rise in SQM’s share price.

Colombia Strategy
Key country dynamics
The long-term structural rerating story continues in 2011
with the implementation of a new pension multifund
system and potential advancements in tax/fiscal reform,
which will likely result in investment grade. This should
continue to drive investment growth in the country. We
are also likely to see improvements on the trade front,
including restored relations with Venezuela and
numerous pending trade agreements. With key FARC
leaders out of the picture, Colombia will move a step
closer to peace, which could yield additional dividends.
We see the key risk as reform watered down in order to
maintain political consensus.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Despite the structural improvements and macro-level
progress, which is boosting investment, Colombia still
faces challenges in achieving its full growth potential
(JPM 2011e GDP growth at just 4.1%), primarily on the
private consumption side. We believe this represents an
opportunity for the Santos Administration, but major
progress will take time, requiring a combination of job
creation and investment diversity initiatives (via payroll
tax reform and education/innovation programs). We also
see access to credit as a key theme, with current caps
limiting expansion in the lower-income segments (as
well as for SMEs).
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Colombia shares a similar dynamic with Chile, as
supportive domestic flows (and limited foreign
ownership) help prop up valuations (current premium
well ahead of historical averages). This is furthered by
local accounting rules and complicated cross-holding
structures, not to mention hidden assets. While growth
fundamentals may not justify current valuations, we see
flow support continuing in 2011 on the back of the
multifund switch and Andean stock exchange integration,
which should keep valuations riding high.
Recommendations
We focus on selective growth opportunities at reasonable
valuations (Pacific Rubiales, Millicom) and second-tierliquidity stocks that have lagged this year (Exito) but
could benefit from supportive domestic/regional flows.
We avoid the large/liquid names that have led 2010
outperformance (Bancolombia, Ecopetrol), especially as
flows may be redirected to second tier names and a
series of new listings.

Peru Strategy
Key country dynamics
1H11 will be dominated by the run-up to April
presidential elections. Although we saw political
overhang in 1H10, it has since started to dissipate as
leftist candidate Humala is running 4th. The three
currently leading candidates are all center-right,
suggesting that it is unlikely we will see any meaningful
changes to Peru’s market-oriented macroeconomic
policy. We believe this will help cement the current
economic consensus in the country. However, given
Peru’s history of surprises on election day, we don’t rule
out intensified noise and/or a renewed overhang leading
up to the elections, especially considering that most polls
don’t include rural areas, which tend to favor Humala. In
addition, the emergence of Keiko Fujimori as the leading
contender could reignite some historical social/political
polemics.

Poll figures have not changed much in past 15 months
Fujimori
30%
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Valuation premiums are a bit ahead of historical levels.
However, they are still lower than other Andean peers’,
primarily due to commodity exposure and liquid gaps
(index top and bottom heavy). We believe that scarcity
value in the liquid names (BAP, BVN, SCCO) is
relevant and if polling data continue to suggest political
continuity, it is likely to boost these names and possibly
widen the premiums. We also see Peru as a beneficiary
of Andean stock exchange integration, as domestic
investors in Chile and Colombia look to diversify away
from their home markets.
Recommendations
We focus on playing continued strong domestic growth
and potentially positive election results through the only
liquid domestic proxy, leading bank Credicorp. We also
play precious metal momentum and our generally bullish
stance on silver through Silver Wheaton. We avoid
Buenaventura given strong outperformance recently, but
acknowledge its reserve replacement track record and
scarcity value as a liquid Peruvian name.

Growth characteristics and how they are changing
After a return to Asia-level GDP growth in 2010 (JPMe
GDP growth of 8.2%), we expect growth to taper off to
6% in 2011, mainly due to a pullback in stimulus and
tighter monetary policy. However, with tame inflation,
strong commodity prices, growing credit growh and the
CB on hold, there is room for upside surprises. In
addition, given strong economic ties to China, progress
there will be a key determinant of the extent of growth.

November 2010
Key country dynamics
All eyes will be on the political situation in 2011 ahead
of October presidential elections. The outlook is highly
uncertain as most candidates will likely have to reinvent
themselves after the death of ex-President Nestor
Kirchner. We see this as a potential opportunity for
Cristina Fernandez Kirchner and Peronist dissidents (PJ)
to unite, while key opposition groups (PRO and
Radicals) now face the challenge of adjusting their
campaign from a primarily anti-Kirchner stance to a
more progressive form. We take a cautious stance and
see a Peronist win as the base case but acknowledge that
any move toward political/economic orthodoxy and
subsequent reform would be a big catalyst for the market.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
After accelerated growth in 2010 (JPMe GDP growth
8.5%), growth in 2011 will taper off (JPMe GDP growth
5.5%) as activity is curbed by rapidly rising inflation
(JPMe proxy 25-30%). The use of fiscal resources
should remain strong, especially in an election year and
helped by what we expect to be robust agricultural
commodity prices. Risks to growth (upside and
downside) are largely tied to the global economy.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
With the near-term “spread reduction trade” priced and
the longer-term “election trade” accelerated on the death
of Nestor Kirchner, we believe multiples are for the most
part accurately reflecting the current balance of risks. We
only see an opportunity for significant further multiple
expansion in the event of a more orthodox political and
economic environment, backed by a reform agenda.
Although there is growing optimism for a move in that
direction, we believe it is still too early to tell who will
win in 2011 and whether or not a reform agenda can and
will be implemented. Furthermore, while the focus is on
politics, at the micro level we are likely to see slower
growth and inflation thinning margins.
Recommendations
We focus on names with solid growth prospects in the
coming year at attractive valuations that will likely
benefit from the immediate political situation (Clarin and
Tenaris). We avoid utilities, such as Edenor, which face
an uncertain potential reform agenda. That said, the
shares are likely to move on any signs of political
progress.

Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Growth in 2011 for our covered names will be more a
function of commodity prices than of capacity
expansions. Longer term, we see all of our companies as
having a global cost advantage and expanding
production through greenfields, debottlenecking and
M&A.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
We are not expecting multiples rerating as we do not see
structural changes justifying it. Multiples should
continue to reflect cyclical trends (peak multiples on
trough earnings and vice versa). Near-term growth will
remain dependent on commodity prices.
Recommendations
We highlight the Brazilian sugar and ethanol producer
Sao Martinho (SMTO3/OW) as the best play on higher
near-term sugar prices. We are UW on Fibria
(FIBR3/FBR) as we believe pulp sector momentum will
remain negative in ’11 and valuations are not yet
attractive enough to justify owning at this point of the
cycle.

Key country dynamics
Grain prices seem to be well supported at current levels
even after a 30-60% rally since early July. Robust
Chinese demand along with concerns over supply,
especially in light of a La Nina year, should keep risk
premiums high. As J.P.Morgan’s Soft Commodity
Strategy team highlights, there’s a real possibility of
corn prices hitting $7/bu in ’11, which would reverberate
through the rest of the grain complex. Sugar prices
continue to confound, having gone from 30c/lb to 13c/lb
and back again in the course of 2010, with the only
constant volatility. Any shortfall in Indian and Brazilian
production estimates could take sugar prices higher still.
That being said, we believe any supply squeeze would be
relatively temporary and see sugar prices settling at
closer to 15-18c/lb longer term. We remain structural
bulls on pulp but cautious on 12M outlook. Pulp prices
as of October were already 5% below their June peak,
and we expect another ~17% decline through 2011 as
pulp supply recovers from market- and weather-related
downtime in ’09-’10 and as end demand remains
lackluster. That being said, any significant improvement
in developed world employment should lead to improved
paper demand and poses upside risk to our outlook.

SMTO.SA
www.saomartinho.ind.br
Price Target: R$29
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
São Martinho is a top-five sugar and ethanol producer in Brazil. In the 2009/10
crop year, São Martinho crushed 13 mt of sugarcane, of which 65% was owned
(40% came from third parties) and 40% was destined for sugar production
(60% to ethanol). São Martinho operates 3 mills, 2 in São Paulo state and one
in Goiás state. The company’s Goiás unit (Boa Vista mill) started up in the
2009 crop and will exclusively produce ethanol and electricity. São Martinho
(SMTO3 BZ) shares are listed on Bovespa’s Novo Mercado.
Brazil
Agribusiness
Investment case
We see Sao Martinho as the best way to gain exposure to stronger global sugar
and Brazilian ethanol prices. Given the diversification of the rest of its listed
domestic peers, SMTO is now the most exposed operationally to S&E. In
addition, we believe the company has interesting partnerships with both
Petrobras (rated Neutral by JPM LatAm oil & gas analyst Sergio Torres) and
with biotech producers, the latter potentially leading to new revenue streams.

Potential for earnings upgrades
Given the sharp rally in sugar and ethanol prices since midyear, there should be
significant upside to consensus estimates if it is sustained. Our FY11E
EBITDA of R$493m is 8% above consensus.

Price target and risks
We have an OW rating on SMTO3 and a price target of R$29/sh for Dec.’11
based on a mix of: (1) DCF of R$27.5 using normalized sugar prices of 15c/lb
and BRL of R$2.05 (equivalent to sugar prices of 18c/lb at spot BRL) and a
WACC of 9.3% which incorporates a risk premium for lower share liquidity;
(2) 5x multiple on FY12 EBITDA resulting in R$28.3; (3) replacement value
analysis leading to R$27.1; and (4) recent M&A multiples of $100/tonne
implying FV of R$36.1. Key risks to our rating and estimates on SMTO are:
(1) evolution of sugar and ethanol prices; (2) stronger-than-expected BRL; (3)
operational problems; (4) worse-than-expected economics of farnesene JV.

Prospects for re-/derating
We see Sao Martinho as a well-managed company, with good capital discipline
and corporate governance. On the other hand, lack of share liquidity is a
concern for many investors, as is the volatility of the sector, which we do not
foresee changing in the near term. Hence we are not looking for a rerating.

Price Target: R$26
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Fibria was formed by the merger of VCP and Aracruz and is the leading market
pulp producer in the world, with 11% global market share. It has 5.6mt of
market pulp capacity at 5 sites in Brazil along with 540,000 ha of eucalyptus
plantations. The company is controlled by the Votorantim Group (29%) and by
the local development bank, BNDES (30%), and has recently migrated to the
Novo Mercado level of the Bovespa, the highest corporate governance standard
in Brazil.
Brazil
Pulp and Paper
Investment case
Despite our structurally optimistic view on the sector, we continue to see
downside to near-term pulp prices and believe that neither sector momentum
nor company valuations provide reasons for owning the stock at this point.
Price Performance
Potential for earnings upgrades
Fibria is highly sensitive to changes in pulp prices given its operational focus
(>90% of profits) and levered balance sheet (4.7x ND/EBITDA as per last
reported balance sheet). Every $30/t move in the pulp price leads to a 10%
change in EBITDA. Our sense is that consensus estimates are assuming flat
pulp prices for ’11, suggesting downside risk to estimates if we are right on the
pulp cycle outlook.

Prospects for re-/derating
Cyclical stocks tend to trade at higher multiples on trough earnings and vice
versa. Given our expectation of still an above average cyclical year in ’11 for
prices (BEK avg of $800/t vs. normalized $750), we believe the stock should
trade at or below a normalized multiple of ~8x.

Price target and risks
We rate Fibria UW and have a R$26 ($16) Dec-11 price target. Our price target
is based on: (1) DCF analysis using 9.6% WACC (R$24/sh); (2) 8x target
multiple on ’11E EBITDA (R$24/sh) and (3) replacement value (R$30.5/sh).
Key upside risks to our UW rating include: (1) higher pulp prices; (2) weaker
BRL; (3) potential divestiture of paper assets.

Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
When regressing expected 2011 and 2012 ROEs against
price-to-book value multiples for Latin American banks
in our coverage universe, Santander Brasil, Itau
Unibanco, Bradesco, and Banco do Brasil trade roughly
5%-20% below the fair price to book value predicted by
the regression analysis. We expect a convergence of
multiples across the region as the Brazilian banks
continue posting good results and some of the “macro”
overhangs related to the sector (election cycle, equity
offerings) have been removed.
6.0
Santander Chile
What could be the positive drivers for banks?
Operating dynamics remains favorable for Brazilian
banks. We see good double-digit earnings growth driven
by 15%-20% loan growth, some efficiency
improvements, and lower credit losses. For Banorte, loan
growth will likely re-emerge and delinquency rates
should continue declining, thereby leading to healthy
earnings growth of 26.5% in 2011, according to our
estimates. We see continued high-20% ROEs for
Santander Chile and Banco de Chile in an environment
of moderate inflation and good economic growth.
Bancolombia should generate ROE expansion (albeit
from a relatively low high-teen range) as loan growth
picks up and, possibly, interest rates rise. At Credicorp,
strong loan growth and cost controls should offset lower
trading gains and drive 13% earnings growth in 2011.
Regression of risk-adjusted ROE to price-to-book value multiples:
Brazilian banks are still trading below the regression line
Credicorp
In contrast with the positive credit trends, we have a
cautious view of the Brazilian merchant acquiring
business. We believe pressure on MDRs and POS rental
rates should be meaningful in the coming years.
Bloomberg JPMA MARTINEZ <GO>
Banco de Chile
Key country dynamics
We continue to see mostly favorable credit dynamics in
the region. In Brazil, Peru, Chile, and Argentina, we
believe that credit growth should remain healthy in 2011.
We are forecasting loan growth of 17%-19% for the
banks we cover in these markets. Asset quality trends
should also continue improving, albeit at a more
moderate pace than in 2010. In addition, we are seeing
rapidly improving credit trends in Mexico and Colombia,
which we expect to continue. However, continued low
benchmark rates could pose risk to NIMs in Mexico.

deposits. The bank serves individuals and corporates and has grown through
acquisitions, notably of Banespa, in November 2000 and Banco Real from
ABN AMRO in 2008. The bank IPO’d in October 2009. As of Sept 2010, the
bank has assets of R$357bn, loans of R$153bn and equity of R$73.0 bn.

Investment case
As a leading financial institution, Santander should benefit from growth in
penetration. In addition, earnings growth driven by volumes, cost saves, lower
credit losses, coupled with capital optimization, should drive meaningful ROE
expansion. We see adjusted IFRS ROE growing to 16.4% by 2012 from 1112% now. This should see P/BV expansion from its current 1.7x BV. Our 2011
price target of R$33 is based on a target 11E book value multiple of 2.2x.
Potential for earnings upgrades
There is a lack of consensus about which accounting standards sell-side
analysts base financial projections for Santander Brasil on (IFRS or Brazilian
GAAP). Hence, it is difficult to assess the extent earnings upgrades are
possible. Our forecasts and the company’s primary reporting standard is IFRS.
We forecast IFRS earnings growth of 28.8 % in 2011 and 17.3% in 2012.
How much is already priced in?
We do not believe the multiyear ROE expansion is adequately priced. In 2012,
we expect the bank to generate adjusted IFRS ROE of 16.4%. Based on current
ROEs vs P/BV multiples for publicly traded Latin American banks in our
coverage universe, this ROE is consistent with a P/BV multiple of 2.1x.

Price target and risks
YE11 R$33/share, US$18/ADR (at JPM’s 2011 FX of R$1.8). We use a
residual income model & regression of risk-adjusted ROE to P/BV. Key risks:
resumption of asset quality deterioration; failure to realize cost synergies from
Banco Real merger; slower loan growth recovery; business disruptions due to
IT integration issues; negative ruling from federal government on deductibiltiy
of goodwill amortization for tax purposes; negative actions taken by Santander
Spain that could impact the growth and profitability of Santander Brasil.

Bancolombia is Colombia’s largest bank (23% loan share). It also owns

provides financial products in Panama, Peru, Brazil, the US and Spain.
Colombia
Financial Institutions
Saul Martinez AC
Investment case
Bancolombia is the leader in the underpenetrated Colombian and El Salvador
banking systems. Economic activity is improving and rates are unsustainably
low in Colombia and likely to increase, benefiting earnings and profitability.
We forecast local currency earnings growth of 19.2%, on average, from 2010
to 2012, and for ROEs to expand to 19.2% in 2012 from 17.9% in 2010. Newly
elected President Santos has a market-friendly economic policy. This could
lead to policy changes, such as modifications to the existing usury laws, that
would increase the maximum interest rate that can be charged by banks.
Potential for earnings upgrades
Faster-than-expected economic growth and an increase in NIMs due to higher
rates lead to upside risk to consensus local currency numbers. US$ earnings
could also benefit if the Colombian peso remains strong. Our 2011 EPADR
estimate incorporates an average COP/US$ exchange rate of 2,200 versus the
November 4th exchange rate of COP1,818/US$.
Prospects for re-/derating
Even factoring in improving prospects, the bank is pricing ample improvement.
The stocks trades 3.4x bv and 18.0x 12e local EPS (18x 12e US$ earnings). It
is generating ROEs of about 18%. Our regression of ROE to P/B using a cross
section of LatAm banks, shows this is consistent with a 2.8x P/B multiple.
Ultimately, we feel Bancolombia benefits from scarcity value; being the only
domestic-focused stock with a liquid ADR. Hence, it may be susceptible to the
emergence of alternative domestic investment opportunities. Operationally,
while good local currency earnings growth is likely, Bancolombia has lost
share in consumer lending and struggled with costs.

Price target and risks
YE11 US$60/ADR (at JPM’s end-2011e FX of COP$2,200). We use a residual
income model and regression of risk-adjusted ROE to P/B. Key risks: fasterthan-expected improvement in economic conditions; a faster-than-expected
rebound in NIMs; value-creating acquisitions; and continued positive sentiment
toward the country’s improving macroeconomic and political dynamics.

Figure 1: Brazil/Mexico: Access to funding remains a key bottleneck for
small banks, hence our focus on balance sheet strength
(market share of deposits of top 5 banks)
Argentina
In our coverage of 6 SMid cap financials in Brazil and
Mexico, we like Banrisul, Cetip and Compartamos. We
base our preference for SMid caps on: 1) strong balance
sheets (high BIS, high loan-loss coverage, stable funding,
low debt ratio); 2) low risk of pricing/margin pressure;
3) best EPS growth; 4) M&A potential; 5) limited
political/regulatory risk; 6) product diversification in
2011e adding new revenues sources; 7) attractive
growth-adjusted valuations.
Bloomberg JPMA DEMARIZ <GO>
Italy
Key country dynamics
SMid caps should continue to experience above-system
growth in 2011, especially in SME lending and
microlending, on the back of favorable macroeconomic
trends and low leverage. We like banks with solid
balance sheets, especially good access to funding, as we
view this is as a structural weakness of small banks
(Figure 1). 2010 was about asset quality; in 2011,
investor focus will be on possible pressure on margins.

In Mexico, Compartamos should continue to grow, on
the back of 1) the underpenetration of lending, especially
for lower-income segments; 2) the benign regulatory
environment (we don’t think problems in Indian
microfinance will spill over to other markets); 3)
contained competition.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Loan growth will be the main earnings driver, while
inflows (especially from foreign investors) will continue
to support valuations. Efficiency gains will also drive
earnings growth, and we expect efficiency to improve (at
Banrisul) or remain stable (at Cetip and Compartamos).
Recommendations
Overweight: Banrisul, Cetip, Compartamos. Stocks to
avoid: PanAmericano.

Growth characteristics and how they are changing
In Brazil, SME lenders (roughly half of Banrisul’s
portfolio is small corporate) should see loan growth
above 25% versus a system average of ~20%, adding to
recent strong loan growth in Brazil (Figure 2). With loan
growth and stable asset quality viewed as a given,
investors will focus on margin compression (on the back
of changes in mix and/or increased competition). We
expect Cetip to see strong earnings growth (JPMe 34%
growth in EPS in 2011) on the back of higher volumes.

Company description
Banrisul is the largest of the small caps under our coverage. It is also the only
small bank with access to retail funding. The bank is controlled by the state of
Rio Grande do Sul (owns 57%) and has a dominant market share in its home
state (17% loan market share). The bank offers a wide variety of loans,
including individual (45% of total book, mostly payroll), corporate (32% of
loans), real estate (8% of loans), and agribusiness (7% of loans). Banrisul is the
11th-largest bank by assets in Brazil and has a market share of 0.8% of total
loans in the Brazilian banking system (largest bank, Banco do Brasil, has 21%).

Investment case
We have an Overweight rating on the stock (BRSR6) due to the bank’s strong
funding structure (based on stable and cheap retail funding), good loan growth
outlook (around 25% in 2010-12e), and solid coverage of nonperforming loans
(ratio of loan-loss reserves to loans past due 60 days or more 226% in 2Q10).
Price Performance

17
R$ 15
Potential for earnings upgrades
We expect loan growth to be the main driver of earnings growth, as net interest
margins and loan-loss provisions should remain relatively stable in the next 12
months. Additionally, improved operating efficiency (historically a weak point
at Banrisul) should continue improving, mostly on the back of lower
administrative expenses.

Prospects for derating
Lower-than-expected loan growth and the potential appointment of a new and
heterodox management team at the bank could disappoint investors.

Price target and risks
Our Dec-11 price target of R$20 is based on a residual income methodology
and a regression of ROE and P/BV multiples for banks. We assume a cost of
equity of 13.1% and long-term earnings growth of 5%. Risks to our price target
and OW rating include 1) political interference at the bank; 2) lower-thanexpected loan growth; 3) limited gains in efficiency.

Banco PanAmericano
Underweight
BPNM4.SA
www.panamericano.com.br
Price Target: $10
R$7.73 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
PanAmericano offers consumer loans to the lower-income segments of the
population, making it an ideal play on rising income levels in Brazil. Roughly
two-thirds of the bank’s loan portfolio are vehicle lending, with payroll and
credit cards making up the rest of the portfolio. The bank has a network of 199
points of sale, 2.1 million clients and 12.1 million issued credit cards. The bank
currently has a market share of 0.4% of loans in the Brazilian banking system
(the leader, Banco do Brasil, has a market share of 21%).
Investment case
We have an out-of-consensus Underweight rating on the stock (BPNM4), due
to 1) accounting issues and weak internal controls; 2) uncertainties around the
new management team; 3) weaker funding structure than that of other banks in
our coverage universe (roughly half of the funding comes from loan cessions,
loan securitization and time deposits with a special guarantee), and 4) lower
loan growth outlook in auto loans than in other loan segments.
Potential for earnings upgrades
The bank will continue to suffer from high loan loss provisioning levels (D-H
ratio at 10.9% as of 2Q10). Also, tougher competition in the auto lending
segment could put pressure on margins.
Prospects for rerating
We have a cautious view on the benefits that CEF could bring to
PanAmericano. CEF announced the purchase of 37% of PanAmericano in Dec09. The stock could rerate if the new management team of PanAmericano were
to articulate how the agreement with CEF could 1) improve the funding
structure of PanAmericano and/or 2) bring revenue synergies.

Price target and risks
Our Dec-11 price target of R$10 is based on a residual income model and a
regression analysis of ROE and P/BV. We consider a cost of equity of 13.1%
and a long term earnings growth of 6%. Risks to our UW rating relate to a
redefinition of the strategy of the bank by the new management team, an
improvement in funding structure and significant revenue synergies with CEF.

Food, Beverages & Tobacco
Key sector dynamics
LatAm beverage markets are mainly oligopolies with
rational pricing and stable volume growth. Companies
have seen aggregate sales CAGR of 12% last decade.
They have little or no debt, robust margins and high
ROICs. On the other side, LatAm food can be divided in
two: packaged food companies with branded products,
and meat/commodities beef companies with volatile
margins (raw material and Fx). For tobacco, it is all
about brands and pricing power while containing higher
taxes and usage restrictions.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Economics, demographics and specific company
strategies should keep driving organic LatAm staples
growth, especially in beverages. For the food sector we
expect a confluence of both organic and inorganic
growth as we expect consolidation in the food space to
continue. In our view, tobacco sector growth will be
driven mostly via pricing and innovation and despite
stable to declining volumes.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Emerging market staples are trading above developed
markets’. This is a first. Plus, the LatAm staples group is
already trading at a record premium of 70% over the rest
of the LatAm MSCI. We don’t see this gap spreading
further, but it should remain stable. A key valuation
driver should be use of cash, specifically how much is
returned to shareholders. These beverage and tobacco
companies pose upside risks to increased dividends.
Meat (beef) companies face a different challenges related
to how to maintain or expand their low profitability and
their delevering process.
Recommendations
Despite some relatively rich valuations we still see as an
opportunity FMX (OW) for EPS growth, CCU (OW) for
its relative value and Modelo (OW) for event-driven
growth. Among food companies, we prefer processed
food powerhouse and poultry exporter Brasil Foods
(OW). This company has a solid growth outlook and
material upside risk to merger synergies. On our sole
tobacco company, Souza Cruz, we currently remain
Neutral on valuation. In one sentence, our sector has
high-quality names that are not cheap but pose selected
opportunities with the right risk/reward balance.

Brasil Foods
Overweight
BRFS3.SA
www.perdix-international.com
Price Target: R$31
R$24.42 (28 Oct 10)
World’s largest exporter of chicken
Brasil Foods (BRFS3) is the merged entity of Perdigao and Sadia, the two
leading poultry companies in Brazil. With $15bn in annual revenues, Brasil
Foods is the fourth-largest protein co. in the world. It sells mainly poultry.
Most BRFS sales are in the domestic Brazilian market, yet it is the global
leader in chicken exports. Domestically, BRFS3 is the undisputed leader in
processed foods, which have better margins than commodity proteins. The co.
also sells pork, beef cuts, milk and other dairy products. Its operations are fully
integrated, and it owns the largest number of consumer brands in Brazil.
Undisputed leader in the growing Brazilian market
Poultry has been the fastest-growing protein globally for well over a decade.
Strong demand continues in Brazil and abroad. The premium in price of beef
vs. chicken is well above the historical average. We expect beef prices to
remain high; given this and recent increases in corn and soy prices, we estimate
we are entering a year when prices for global poultry should increase. In this
sense, Brasil Foods is well positioned to benefit from this situation.
Potential for earnings upgrades – More synergies, less taxes
For a LatAm meat company, Brasil Foods’ ’10e net debt to EBITDA of 1.9x is
one of the lowest. Plus, once Brazil’s regulatory authority, CADE, approves the
integration with Sadia, we believe the company is likely to positively surprise
the market with synergies materially higher than its current guidance of
R$500mn/year. Net net: with higher-than-expected FCF generation, we see
upside risk to our ’11e EPS estimate of R$1.44 for BRFS3.

Stock should at least maintain its valuation multiple
Although at 8.5x ’11e EV/EBITDA and 17.0x ’11e P/E the stock does not look
cheap, we believe these multiples have yet to capture the full value of the
company given a) post integration BRFS will have unparalleled scale and
pricing power in Brazil, b) that BRFS3 should be a key beneficiary of
accelerated global growth in poultry market and, lastly, c) its potential to
deliver higher-than-guidance synergies from the merger and yet-to-beaccounted tax benefits.
Dec ’11 PT offers 27% potential upside – with some risks
Using perpetuity growth of 3% and a WACC of 9.5%, our DCF model
indicates a Dec ’11 PT of R$31 for BRFS3, implying 27% upside & a 2% div
yield. Key risks are a) a weaker-than-expected rebound in poultry market; b)
failure to deliver expected synergies; and c) Fx & grain price volatility.

FEMSA
$54.92 (28 Oct 10)
FMX
www.femsa.com
Price Target: $59
End Date: Dec 2011
A consumer conglomerate
FEMSA (FMX) is a holding company with three major investments: (a) 100%
ownership of Oxxo, a chain of +8k convenience stores in Mexico that is among
the fastest-growing and most profitable retailers in the region. (b) 54%
ownership and full management control of Coca-Cola FEMSA (KOF), the
largest Coke bottler in Latin America. KOF sells Coke products in nine Latin
American countries – including Mexico and Brazil – for the equivalent of what
would be more than 1 out of 10 Coke products in the world. (c) 20% ownership
of Heineken, a leading global beer company.
At a very attractive discount to the sum of its parts
FMX’s valuation gets a deep discount for its corporate structure. We believe
this is unmerited and unsustainable. Both Heineken and KOF are listed, so
taking their current prices, we see Oxxo with an implied EV/EBITDA multiple
of only 7x. This is half the current valuation of Walmex, Mexico’s leading
retailer. Yet Oxxo has faster growth, better margins and more scale versus its
competitors. Furthermore, Oxxo keeps opening stores at a pace of almost 3 per
day. Working capital of the business is a beauty – all they sell is cash, all they
buy is on credit. Payback for store investments is ~ 3 years.
From a net cash position, FMX balance sheet is getting even stronger
We expect dividends coming from Heineken to increase, as well as those
coming from KOF. On top of that, Oxxo should continue to grow and expand
its margins regardless of the economic scenario.

Catalysts include higher dividends and continued growth
FMX (ex-KOF) is already sitting on +$500mn of net cash. So absent any large
acquisition, shareholders of FMX have material upside risk on dividends
(currently 2% for ’11e). Also, we see room for multiple expansion if KOF
resumes double-digit growth next year.
Price target and risks
Our PT for FMX is based on the PT of Heineken (rated N by JPM European
beverages analyst Mike Gibbs), our Dec 11 PT of $79 for KOF, and a 14x ’11e
EBITDA for Oxxo (similar to Walmex’s historical average). We apply a 10%
holdco discount to obtain a Dec ’11 PT of $59. Key risks are macro,
particularly around Fx. Also, volatility of Heineken and KOF stock prices.

Price Target: R$8.10

End Date: Dec 2011
A sophisticated Brazilian exporter of beef
Minerva (BEEF3) is the 3rd-largest beef producer in Brazil, with a slaughtering
capacity of ~9k head/day in 10e. It’s a pure beef player that gets 70% of its
revenues from exports. Minerva’s main products are fresh and processed beef,
but the company is also Brazil’s largest live cattle exporter.
Meat packers are seeing profit margin compression
International beef prices are increasing, but not at the same pace as rising cattle
prices. In fact, Brazilian cattle prices are now more expensive than in the US
and Australia, the other two big players in the international beef market. Also,
we don’t see much space for beef producers to increase prices domestically to
protect margins as the beef price premium over chicken is above the historical
average. Substitution toward poultry may accelerate. Hence we have a bearish
view on the overall beef sector. This industry outlook leads us to believe that
BEEF3 should be a stock to avoid in ’11, despite its professional and
sophisticated management team.
Volatility of earnings may continue
Minerva’s involvement in complex financial instruments such as derivative
hedges clouds earning estimates. Thus, consensus EPS estimates vary by orders
of magnitude. At +4x net debt to EBITDA, Minerva is among the most levered
companies in LatAm staples. We see limited potential for earnings upgrades, as
these are likely to remain volatile for this producer of meat as a commodity
(low-margin business).

It may take many consistent (good) quarters for rerating up
At 6x ’11e EV/EBITDA and 9x ’11e P/E Minerva looks inexpensive (thus our
Neutral rating); but it is likely to remain that way, in our view. There is
downside risk to its margins due to continued high cattle prices. Its lack of
operating leverage gives limited scope for rerating.
Dec. ’11 PT offers nice upside, but with high risks – Remain N
Using perpetuity growth of 3% and a WACC of 10.7%, our DCF model
indicates a Dec 11 PT of R$8.1 for BEEF3, implying ~30% upside. This
apparent high return poses high risks, thus our relative skepticism.
Furthermore, outstanding warrants (BEEF11) likely to be exercised would be
dilutive. Add to macro and Fx risks, other risks inherent to the meat packing
industry, such as changes in trade restrictions and further sector consolidation.

Recommendations
PDG is the top pick among the BZ HB as its earnings
have upside potential on the back of the Agre acquisition.
Geo is our top pick among the MX HB given its strong
growth and potential improvement in margins. We
recommend that investors avoid Cyrela given current
uncertainties about future results.

Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
We are not expecting multiple expansion in Brazil or in
Mexico as in both countries companies are trading in
line with their 12-month averages (around 10.0-11.0x),
so earnings growth will drive the upside, in our view.
However, we believe investors could pay a higher
multiple in Mexico if the economic outlook improves
and in Brazil if companies start to generate cash.
Regarding growth, we assume a conservative view for all
the companies.
Selic should not have a negative impact on Brazilian homebuilders
Jul-07
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Despite the positive outlook for all income segments in
Brazil, given attractive mortgage conditions and pent-up
demand, the companies have been increasing their
exposure to the lower-income segment to benefit from
the government’s housing program and its shorter cycle.
In Mexico, the sector is still recovering from the credit
crisis, which reduced mortgage availability, especially
from Fovissste and banks (which are focused on the
middle-income and residential segments). As a result,
companies remain focused on the AEL segment and are
in fact increasing their exposure further due to its
resilient characteristics.
Bloomberg JPMA HUERTA <GO>
Jan-10
Key country dynamics
We continue to prefer the Brazilian Homebuilders vs the
Mexican names as we expect Brazil’s macroeconomic
scenario to continue supporting the sector on the back of
positive government participation and a robust growth
outlook. Further, we believe the expected tightening in
the Selic that could begin in 2011 represents only a
marginal adjustment to government monetary policy and
is already priced in. Despite cost pressures in Brazil,
companies have been able to maintain margins given a
positive outlook on housing prices. On the other hand, in
Mexico companies are in a transition phase, moving
more toward the AEL segment and also entering the
informal sector (self employed and informal jobs) where
there is high pent-up demand but not much mortgage
availability yet. Moreover, the focus is now on free cash
flow generation, which is still at question given its WC
demands. Revenue growth should remain in the low
double digits in the near term.

Overweight
GEOB.MX
www.corporaciongeo.com
Price Target: Ps52
Ps39.31 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Geo is the largest homebuilder in Mexico, selling more than 56k units per year
and focused mainly on lower-income housing, with revenues of more than
Ps18 bn in 2009. The company has operations in 17 states and 56 cities.
Investment case
Geo is our top pick among the MX HB given its strong top-line growth of
~15% and its potential to improve operating margins. Also, the company has
made significant progress on its debt profile and maintains the lowest net
investment in land, which has helped it to post the highest ROEs among its
peers at more than 20%.
Potential for earnings upgrades
In the 1H10, the company grew more than expected, with revenues +14% yoy
vs 8-11% guidance. Further, Geo released a 5-year target growth plan recently,
and it expects to build 100K homes by 2015 (12.5% CAGR) and to expand
gross margins by 3pp and SG&A by 1pp; however, in our estimates we are
only incorporating a 1pp increase in gross margins to be conservative.

Price target and risks
We ate Geo Overweight with a Dec-11 price target of Ps52, which is the
average of our DCF-based valuation and our GGM-based valuation. The COE
of 10.6% is based on a beta of 1.2, country risk of 1.6%, and a risk-free rate of
3.0%, resulting in a WACC of 10.9%. We see lower-than-expected growth in
revenues as the main downside risk. The company needs to generate significant
FCF in 2H10 in order to be neutral to slightly positive in FCF for the year.
Negative FCF for the year likely will be taken negatively by investors.

Prospects for re-/derating
Despite the company’s robust growth plans, it trades at a discount to peers on
P/E basis, given a lower net margin. This should change as Geo executes its
growth plans, improves margins and starts to generate positive FCF.

PDG Realty
Overweight
PDGR3.SA
www.pdgrealty.com.br
Price Target: R$30
R$21.18 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
PDG became the largest market cap (around USD6.9bn) company among the
BZ HB after acquiring AGRE early in the year, thereby gaining exposure to the
mid- and high-income segments and now having exposure to all income
segments. The company is geographically diversified, has one of the best
management teams among its peers, with a strong focus on cash flows and with
management interest aligned with minority shareholders.
Investment case
We believe that the recent acquisition of AGRE will provide room for stronger
top-line growth versus peers’ and will allow the company to deliver one of the
highest operating margins in the industry. PDG also offers opportunities to
improve AGRE’s lower ROEs through better operating efficiencies and lower
financial expenses.
Potential for earnings upgrades
We believe that the company offers one of the highest potential upsides to
earnings given the lack of track record for the combined company as PDG has
only reported one quarter consolidating AGRE. We believe investors are still
conservative on growth and margin assumptions for PDG.
Prospects for re-/derating
Currently PDG is trading at 9.4 P/E 11E, in line with Cyrela and Rossi and at a
discount to MRV; however, we believe that if margins improve and growth
accelerates, it could trade at least in line with MRV’s multiples.
Price target and risks
We rate PDG Overweight with a Dec-11 price target of R$30, which is the
average of our DCF-based valuation and GGM-based valuation. The COE of
11.6% used is based on a beta of 1.3x, country risk of 2.1%, and a risk-free rate
of 3.0%, resulting in a WACC of 10.5%. The main risks to our positive view
are lower-than-expected synergies from the AGRE acquisition impacting our
forecasts on growth and margins resulting in lower-than-expected results.
Given its significant exposure to lower income, through Goldfarb, PDG can
also be impacted by changes in MCMV policy and CEF execution capabilities.

Cyrela Brazil Realty
Underweight
CYRE3.SA
www.cyrela.com.br
Price Target: R$29
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Cyrela is the second-largest homebuilder in Brazil in market cap and is
considered a premium player in the sector given its long track record. The
company is a diversified player, acting on the lower-income segment via its
“Living” brand, which launched more than 16k units in 2009, representing 40%
of its total launches. Cyrela is present in 66 cities and 16 states, having one of
best geographic diversifications, with a land bank of R$34.9bn in PSV.
Investment case
It is our stock to avoid given the lack of good results in 1H10 as the company
launched only 24% of full-year guidance vs 40-50% from peers, and also due
to weakening margins in recent quarters on the back of higher-than-expected
costs.
Potential for earnings upgrades
We see limited room for positive earnings surprise in the short term, and given
its increasing focus on the lower-income segment, margins are not likely to
improve from the levels seen in recent quarters. It is important to flag that in
the last 3 quarters Cyrela reported higher-than-expected project costs.
Prospects for re-/derating
Despite its weak results in 1H10 Cyrela is trading in line with peers at 9.9x P/E
11E and 2.3x P/BV. We believe these valuations already reflect a potential
recovery in 2H10 and 2011 results.
Price target and risks
We rate Cyrela Underweight with a Dec-11 price target of R$29, which is the
average of our DCF-based valuation and GGM-based valuation. The COE of
11.6% used is based on a beta of 1.30, country risk of 2.1%, and a risk-free rate
of 3.0%, resulting in a WACC of 10.3%. The main upside risks to our price
target and rating include better-than-expected margins as we are assuming a
conservative approach on the name given the weak results in 2Q. We are also
not incorporating company launch and presale guidance for 2012, which, if it
follows plan, could result in higher-than-expected growth in the coming years.

Metals & Mining
Key sector dynamics
The key themes for the metals and mining sector in 2011
should be (1) the outlook for China’s commodity
demand, (2) the pace of global economic growth, (3)
industry fundamentals, and (4) government regulations.
China remains the center stage of global commodity
demand and should be strong in 2011 (partially
offsetting weakness in the developed world) – it should
announce its 12th 5-year plan in 1Q11, which our China
economist believes will re-emphasize its commitment to
urbanization and infrastructure development. The
outlook for different subsectors appears to be mixed, and
we believe iron ore and copper will be outperformers in
2011 as their supply remains tight relative to steel, which
should continue to be in gross overcapacity. Finally,
government regulations should be a source of noise,
especially for the miners, but further clarity should ease
concerns.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Given J.P. Morgan expects the global economy to grow
at 3.0% in 2011, the sector should continue to build on
the growth shown in 2010. However, we highlight two
key points: (1) Emerging economies should grow at a
faster rate compared to the developed ones (5.8% vs.
1.9%), led by China (9.0%); and (2) The growth should
be relatively moderate compared to 2010e.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
We believe the main drivers of returns will be both
sector/stock rerating/derating as well as changing
earnings expectations for the different subsectors. We
highlight steel as a sector in whixh we see risks of
downward revision of earnings, and a potential derating
as the industry could stabilize at a lower normal given
slower recovery in demand as well as weaker margins.
Iron ore and copper, on the other hand, should benefit
from both upward revision of estimates and a potential
rerating, mainly as the overhang of government
influence eases as more clarity emerges on regulations.
Recommendations
Within miners, we recommend Vale (OW) and Grupo
Mexico (OW) as the best vehicles to gain exposure to
iron ore and copper, respectively, our favored
commodities. We remain cautious on the steel sector,
especially Brazilian flat steels, and see Usiminas (UW)
as the most exposed to (1) the deteriorating pricing
environment, and (2) higher raw material costs that we
do not expect to subside meaningfully until 2014.

Overweight
GMEXICOB.MX

Price Target: Ps53
Ps40.44 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Grupo Mexico is one of the largest copper producers in globally, and has
copper operation in Mexico, Peru and the US through its subsidiaries SCCO
(80%) and Asarco (100%). The company has a $5.6B expansion plan in place
that should increase its copper capacity by ~600kt to over 1.5Mtpy. It also has
railroad operations in Mexico and controls a leading market share through its
two subsidiaries Ferromex (56%) and Ferrosur (75%).
Investment case
We remain bullish on copper prices and see GMex as a unique copper growth
story with large capex expansions in regions with relatively stable business
environments. In addition, we view Asarco as a hidden asset in GMex’s
portfolio, especially with copper above $8,000/t. Finally, GMex trades at a
31% discount to its NAV, which is unwarranted, in our view, and we believe it
should trade at a ~15% discount that incorporates any concerns related to the
“holding” nature of the company. Trading at 5.4x ’11e EBITDA, it remains
cheap vs. SCCO at 8.9x and peers at 5.7x.
Potential for earnings upgrades
We remain 4% above consensus on ’11e EBITDA and believe consensus
should move up as we see more upgrades on copper price assumptions.
Prospects for re-/derating
We see multiple potential catalysts for rerating of GMex shares over the next
12 months – a SCCO-Asarco merger and the IPO of the railroad business,
which should bring transparency to GMex valuation. On the other hand,
potentially any significant increase in hedging of copper production may cause
a derating as investors may not get the desired exposure to copper prices.

Price target and risks
We base our price target and OW rating on GMex on an SOTP analysis –
Dec’11 PT of Ps53.0 ($4.32/sh at JPMe FX rate for end-11 of Ps12.25/USD),
assuming a holding company discount of 15%. The main downside risks are (1)
weaker copper and moly prices; (2) appreciation of USD vs. MXN or PEN; (3)
slower global growth, especially China; (4) recurrence of mining strikes; and
(5) revocation of railroad concessions, weaker domestic economy, etc.

Price Target (PN): $41.50
PN $28.29 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
The world’s 2nd-largest miner, largest iron ore producer, and 2nd-largest
nickel producer also produces manganese, alloys, thermal & coking coal,
bauxite, alumina, aluminum, copper, cobalt, fertilizers. Most operations are in
Brazil, with presence in Canada (Inco), other LatAm, Africa, Indonesia, China.
Investment case
We remain bullish iron ore and China commodity demand. Given Vale’s costleadership, reserve quality and expected growth, we believe it is best leveraged
to benefit from this tightness. The current share price fails to capture the
potential, in our view. Our model suggests the current share price implies $53/t
(FOB Brazil) for fines; low vs a current and YTD average of ~$120/t. At 4.9x
’11e EBITDA, Vale is cheap vs. respective historical and peer averages of 6.8x
and 5.6x, and more than discounts higher capex and royalties/taxation concern.
Potential for earnings upgrades
Iron ore market remains very tight, and given the steep cost curve, marginal
increase in demand can lift prices sharply and, in our view, presents the biggest
potential for earnings upgrades. Similarly, higher prices for other commodities
could add similar upside risks, and vice versa.
Prospects for re-/derating
Vale could rerate if concerns related to a slowdown in the global economy
(double dip) mitigate and/or investor optimism on China demand improves
further (announcement of China’s 12th 5-year plan could reinforce this). In
addition, detailed disclosure of Vale’s capex plan as well as clarity on new
regulations for the industry should help by removing potential overhangs. If
these concerns continue or become more widespread, the stock may derate.

Price target and risks
We base our Overweight and price target for Vale PNs on a combination of
DCF and an EV/EBITDA multiple of 7.5x, and use a WACC of 9.2% and 3%
perpetuity growth. We then add a “voting share” premium of 14% (historical
average) to arrive at our fair value for Vale ONs. Risks are a weaker-thanexpected global economy, especially China; harsher-than-expected government
regulation; capex delay and/or cost run-ups; and higher operating costs.

Price Target: R$26
R$20.96 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Usiminas is the largest flat-steel producer in Brazil, with ~9.5Mtpy of crude
steel capacity. It has two plants – its original plant in Ipatinga and the plant of
former Cosipa in the state of São Paulo. The company produces a broad range
of steel products and is the main domestic supplier for the automotive and auto
parts industries in Brazil. Aside from this, USI also owns iron ore mines and
has interests in logistics and capital goods assets.

Investment case
We expect the outlook for Usiminas to continue to be challenging in the
medium term, driven by deteriorating fundamentals for the Brazilian flat-steel
industry. Imports into Brazil, in our view, are here to stay as Brazil lacks
rolling capacity to supply the flat-steel demand in the domestic market, keeping
prices as well as domestic premiums under pressure. In addition, the company
should continue to suffer higher raw material costs, which we believe are
unlikely to subside meaningfully until 2014. We see potential in USI’s mining
unit, but there are challenges related to finding a viable solution for the port.

Potential for earnings downgrades
We believe there are downside risks to the consensus expectations for domestic
steel prices, as premiums should remain under pressure, driven by continued
strong inflow of imports and a strong Real. In addition, we expect raw material
prices to remain tight, keeping margins under check. Finally, a potential delay
in the recovery of heavy plates should cause further downside to earnings.

Prospects for re-/derating
Global steel supply discipline (resulting in higher prices) and any weakening in
raw material costs should help rerate Usiminas. In addition, a solution to the
port issues and/or a potential IPO of the mining unit could rerate the stock.
Price target and risks
We rate Usiminas UW based on our Dec 11 price target of R$26/share
UPDATE, which is derived from a combination of DCF (80%) and multiples
(20%). We use a WACC of 10.9%, perpetuity growth of 3% and target
EV/EBITDA of 5.0x (historical average). The main upside risks are related to
depreciation in BRL, higher international steel prices and potential increases in
steel import duties.

Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals
It’s all about creating economic value. The value chain
of oil production has many moving parts, but at the end
of the day what matters here as in any other business is
adding value to the base of capital employed. Production
growth, backlog growth and asset growth matter little if
the returns on new investments don’t cover the cost of
capital, in our view.

Integrated oils
EV/DACF
Bullish oil curve favors all; one must be selective
An improved outlook for oil prices has emerged in
tandem with global currency issues benefiting the
earnings outlook of the sector as a whole. As always, we
favor portfolios that can beat the performance of the
underlying commodity. Services & equipment are now a
large portion of our coverage, and there we focus on
exposure to capex trends and superior earnings power
relative to peers.
Integrated oils: Petrobras and Ecopetrol are both
national oil companies (NOCs) with the mandate to
supply the domestic fuels market. This imposes
significant pressure on their E&P segments to keep
replenishing reserves. Historically PBR has done a great
job, but we are worried about its ability to add value on
the recent asset purchase for $43 billion. In the meantime
Ecopetrol is expanding production of low-cost barrels
and finding new ways to boost its exploration success.
E&P: The appeal of independent E&P names keeps
growing; emphasis remains on exploration. The market
will operate in 2011 with 2 new players in Brazilian
E&P, HRT and Karoon. The heavyweight remains OGX,
which was our top pick in 2010. In Colombia, juniors are
spreading, with adult names being scarce.
Services & equipment: The cycle stage still appears to
favor exploration over development, and the key is
gaining exposure to capex trends. Tenaris is enhancing
positioning with minimal investments but more
importantly it stands to benefit from cost reductions.
Lupatech is investing in value-neutral ventures in order
to gain access to new sources of revenue.
Petrochemicals: The change in scope of PBR’s
Comperj project changed drastically the outlook for
Braskem in the Brazilian market.
Recommendations
Our top picks for 2011 are Tenaris (TS US), the world’s
most profitable OCTG producer, and Pacific Rubiales
(PRE CN), the largest and most dynamic independent
E&P producer in Colombia.

Pacific Rubiales Energy
Overweight
PRET.TO
www.pacificrubiales.com
Price Target: C$36
C$31.69 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Pacific Rubiales is the largest independent E&P company in Colombia and
the second-largest operator after NOC Ecopetrol. PRE has been a successful
growth and value play since 2009. In our view, PRE’s low risk development
story is already priced in, but we believe that the risk/reward is still attractive.
PRE is our favorite stock to play the potential of heavy oil in Colombia.
Low-risk exploration in attractive prospects should drive value in 2011.
PRE has 2P reserves of 269 mn boe but has identified ~628 mn bbl of
prospective oil resources in Colombia and Peru. PRE’s track record in
exploration is over 80% success in Colombia, and it has recently acquired
exploration licenses in onshore Guatemala that are believed to be exposed to a
continuation of the onshore basins in Mexico.
Our price target is not fully loaded. We are conservative in our NAV
assumptions because we are only assuming half of the prospective resource
estimated by PRE. Our estimates have upside from further drilling success that
could confirm the company’s prospective figures, from the gas export project
that could start in 2013 and from further analysis of the prospects in Guatemala
and block CPO-12 in Colombia.
The company still trading at compelling multiples. PRE is trading at 3.7x
EV/EBITDA for 2011e. Our Dec’11 target price of C$36/share implies an
EV/EBITDA exit multiple of 3.9x 2012e. With the company having doubled
production in 2010 to 67 kboed (net after royalties), we expect production to
grow 67% in 2011 and 22% in 2012, excluding exploration potential.

Price Target: $52
$41.33 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
TS is one of the best early-cycle plays. We believe oil prices will lead a
reactivation of exploration and development drilling globally. Tenaris is the
most profitable manufacturers of steel tubular goods for the oil and gas
industry. The company has a leading footprint in the niche of premium (oil
country tubular goods (OCTG). We believe that Tenaris (TS) is likely to keep
its dominance position on global OCTG market and gain market share in other
key growing markets such as the US, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and, yes, Brazil.
We project an annualized earnings expansion of 12.9% between 2009 and
2012, mostly driven by cost reduction and volume growth. Reduction in
structural costs is a major differentiating factor because the industry is
suffering from sluggish pricing and cost pressures. Equipment producers with
global footprints, such as TS, offer investors a broadly diversified play on oil,
gas, onshore and offshore projects, with ROCEs that are bouncing from the
cycle trough.

Benefits from expansion to be visible as early as 2011. TS is adding capacity
in its Mexico plant in late 2010. Ramp-up of capacity would allow TS to export
low-diameter OCTG out of Mexico to the US shale gas market, among other
destinations. New facilities could also allow TS to reallocate output from
higher-cost sites, such as Europe.
We don’t see risk of overcapacity in seamless OCTG. For now we believe
the NA market appears in check. With the countervailing duties on China there
is a shortfall of about 1.5 mn tons of seamless pipe in the US alone. Planned
expansions are targeting such shortfall.

We have a YE11 target of $52/ADR, derived from a combination of SOTP
model and target multiples. On an EV/EBITDA basis, TS is trading at 7.9x,
similar to peer Vallourec. We believe TS deserves a premium because it
generates ~22% higher EBITDA per ton than VK (rated OW by JPM European
machinery analyst Alessandro Abate).

Andrea Teixeira AC
Key country dynamics
Solid growth in both the retail and healthcare sectors in
Brazil has been led by strong consumer demand driven
by: (1) Income mobility to middle-income segment. (2)
Strong job creation, which is driving unemployment
rates to record lows. (3) Inflation under control. These
factors are leading to record-high consumer confidence.

Middle-income expansion is a positive driver for retailers and
healthcare companies in Bz
100%
28,6%

As a result we believe the country is the best positioned
in terms of growth within Latin America for retailers and
healthcare names, while we are still cautious with retail
in Mexico. While there is some evidence of economic
recovery, correlation with the US economy is still high.

Recommendations
OW: Hypermarcas (HYPE3) is a core holding in
Brazil consumer, given its focus on high-growth lowerincome segments such as pharma and HPC. Its
accelerated M&A allows for more synergies in 20112013e. It trades at a relatively cheap P/E 11e of 20.7x, a
25% discount to Brazilian peers that we view as
unwarranted given high EPS CAGR 10-13e of 20%.
OW: DASA (DASA3): We expect revenue growth to
pick up in 2011 as the company has resumed M&A.
DASA will likely start capturing revenue synergies as a
result of its integration with MD1.
UW: SORIANA (SORIANAB): Lack of catalysts in
the short/mid term and rich valuation, trading at 12-M
forward P/E of 18.5x, a 20% premium to historical, and
12-M fwd EV/EBITDA of 9.7x, 23% above historical,
which in our view does not reflect the risks.
15,3%
14,2%
May-06
Nevertheless, we don’t expect further reratings for the
sectors given recent outperformance. Any potential
appreciation is likelier to come from earnings surprises.

For the healthcare sector, the main drivers are: (1) wage
mass increase; (2) formal job creation; and (3) increased
penetration of private healthcare spending within the
population, which is currently very low.

Growth characteristics and how they are changing

solid growth to continue but to slightly decelerate in

Diagnosticos da America (DASA)
Overweight
DASA3.SA
www.dasa.com.br
Price Target: $26
R$21.07 (9 Nov 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Dasa is the largest diagnostic laboratory in Brazil. Its business model is divided
into three segments: (1) private clinical and image analysis, (2) public services
provider and (3) lab-to-lab operations. Its growth is based on a mix of organic
growth and acquisitions. Currently, Dasa is established in 12 states and holds
21 different brands (after acquisition of MD1 and Cerpe).
Investment case
Our positive view on the company is due to its leading position in the most
important markets in Brazil (SP and RJ after the acquisition of MD1) and its
exposure to less affluent demographic sectors.
Potential for earnings upgrades
Dasa announced in the beginning of October the acquisition of MD1, the
fourth-largest laboratory in Brazil. The integration process has the potential to
create both revenue and cost synergies. DASA should also still benefit from
margin expansion as new management is focused on increasing profitability.
Prospects for re-/derating
Although the stock has been performing strongly lately (more than +40%
YTD), we think there is more upside to come. After its weak period of top-line
expansion, we expect revenue growth to pick up in 2011 since the company
will likely capture revenue synergies as a result of operating leverage from
growth and the integration of recent acquisitions MD1 and Cerpe. Dasa trades
at a 15% premium to Fleury on a P/E 11e basis, which we believe is warranted
given (1) its position in less affluent segments, (2) higher diversification of
payers and (3) higher stock liquidity.

Price target and risks
Our R$26 price target (end date Dec-11) is based on a 9-year discounted free
cash flow to firm (no acquisitions) at a 10.3% nominal reais discount rate and
5.0% perpetuity growth. Main risks to our thesis are (1) if management does
not deliver its guidance of 27.5% EBITDA margin, (2) pricing pressure and/or
increased competition for acquisitions, and (3) economic slowdown.

Investment case
Hypermarcas is a combination of fast-growing consumer exposure in Brazil
with a defensive profile as its portfolio is mostly composed of staple goods.
Still, the HPC and pharma industries are very fragmented, meaning that there is
enough room for additional M&A. Still, even if acquisitions stop, we estimate
an improvement in EBITDA margin of at least 200bps.

Price Performance
Potential for earnings upgrades
The company is targeting 15% same brand sales (SBS) growth for the next few
years, which we view as conservative. We believe that the market might
incorporate higher estimates as the company delivers stronger results. Also,
Hypermarcas has the potential to unlock value by delivering more than official
guidance of R$2.5bn in acquisitions for 2010-2011 (it has already delivered
R$1.3bn). Recent debenture issue of R$1bn may indicate a continued interest
in shopping.

Prospects for re-/derating
Our Dec 11 price target is R$30, derived from a 50/50 mix of organic model
(R$29 per share) and acquisitions-plus-growth DCF (R$32/share) and
considering company official M&A guidance. Also, we ran a sensitivity
analysis incorporating an additional R$1bn in M&A, which added R$1 to our
PT. Hypermarcas currently trades at P/E 11e of 21x, a 16% discount to Brazil
peers, which we view as unwarranted given high EPS CAGR 10-13e of 20%.

Price target and risks
Our price target is based on a 9-year DCF analysis at 11.3% WACC and
perpetuity growth of 6%. We blend the organic and the organic-plusacquisitions scenarios 50/50 in our price target valuation. Main risks to our
thesis are (1) increasing competition for acquisitions, (2) potential overhang
from private equity fund which owns 17.3% of the company and (3)
Hypermarcas is reliant on founder “Junior” to prospect for and negotiate deals.

Price Target: Ps38
Ps37.40 (9 Nov 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Organizacion Soriana is a food retailer operating 500 stores (as of 3Q10) across
Mexico. The store formats are mostly hypermarkets, clubs and convenience
stores.
Investment case
Our negative view on Soriana is due to a lack of catalysts in the short/middle
term. Soriana has been experiencing weak sales growth despite easy
comparisons. Last year, the company was hard hit by the economic downturn.
We still see competition and cautious consumer purchase of discretionary
categories in Mexico as dragging Soriana’s growth. Also, the stock is trading at
rich valuations, at P/E 11e of 22.1x and EV/EBITDA 11e of 10.8x.

Price Performance

Ps
Potential for earnings upgrades
We see limited room for positive earnings surprises as the improvement in SSS
performance expected for the 4Q10 and 2011 seems already priced into
consensus. We expect Soriana to continue to face headwinds from heavy
competition as (1) Walmex is aggressively lowering prices and has greater
bargaining power with suppliers; (2) Fourth-largest competitor Chedraui is now
well capitalized and is gaining share (SSS at 3Q10 stood at 4.4% vs. 2.9% for
Soriana and 2.8% for Walmex).
Prospects for re-/derating
We believe further recovery is priced in, as Soriana is trading at significant
premiums to its historical averages. At a 12-month forward P/E, the stock
trades at 23.3x, a 44% premium, and 12-month fwd EV/EBITDA of 11.1x,
47% above historical, which in our view do not reflect the risks.

DCF at 7.4% nominal WACC, 4% growth and 16.8x P/E 12E (30% discount to
peers). Upside risks to our cautious view include: (1) faster-than-anticipated
recovery in the economy; and (2) better-than-anticipated execution, i.e., no
market share losses.

Telecom, Media &
Technology
Key country dynamics
We believe investors should only have a selective
exposure to the sector, either through highgrowth/underpenetrated market stories or through stocks
offering a mix of growth and cash flow (like TSU/AMX).
Generally, telecom stocks tend to be defensive, while
media stocks are more cyclically exposed, as are tech
stocks. We believe the telecom sector could offer
attractive cash flow and dividend yields, compensating
for slower growth. Media stocks fared better in earnings
than developed peers as most of the media expenditure is
still staple variety rather than discretionary. Tech stocks
offer highest growth among TMT sector, as LatAm is
still underpenetrated, with high demand.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Among telecom companies, growth is mainly driven by
the increasing contribution from data revenues:
companies are investing a large amount in data networks,
and there will be a 3G license auction in Brasil (NIHD
likely to be the only bidder) as there was in Mexico.
Looking at media companies, we could see them grow,
on increasing pay-TV penetration and also from the offer
of combined services. Tech companies could benefit
from good economic momentum, given higher demand.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
TMT investors benefit from attractive cash flow yields
as well as good dividend distribution, as the sector
usually provides low growth for reasonable cash
generation, and thus is considered defensive. We believe
exposure should be taken in stocks with cheap FCF yield
relative to EBITDA growth.

Price Target: $40
$32.21 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
TIM Participações S.A. (NYSE: TSU) provides telecommunication services all
across Brazil. Most of its revenues come from mobile, and it also has long
distance and data transmission services. TSU is controlled by the Telecom
Italia group.
Investment case
TSU is our top pick: (i) turnaround to go on, demonstrated by better FCF; (ii)
higher growth among Brazilian telcos; (iii) increasing presence as data service
provider; (iv) lower MTR exposure, even when compared to VIV/TSP
combined; (v) cheap valuation of 9.8% FCF yield 2011e and 2.8x EV/EBITDA
(still cheap on ON+PNs, at 8.1%/3.4x).
Potential for earnings upgrades
We believe TSU could upgrade earnings if: (1) it maintains a high number of
subscriber additions without substantial dilution in ARPU, (2) it is able to
increase levels of data as % of service revenues toward the ones reported by
Vivo and Claro, as well as improve its offer of data services; (3) it reduces
advertisement expenses.
Prospects for re-/derating
The market could derate TSU, if: 1) results from the free on-net minutes
strategy disappoint in ARPU; 2) competition increases with the entry of new
players (5th license); and 3) capex rises as result of more voice or data traffic,
depressing FCF.

Price target and risks
We rate TSU OW and our Dec 11 price target is $40 based on the average of
our DCF and multiples valuation. Our DCF valuation is based on 9.4% WACC,
1.5% LT growth and yields, a $43.3 fair value. Our multiples-based valuation
derives from a 10% target FCF yield, resulting in a fair value of $36.7. The
downside risks are mentioned above.

Price Target: $12
$15.15 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Telmex provides fixed-line telecommunications services in Mexico. The
company’s service coverage comprises the operation of the nation’s most
complete local and long distance networks. Additionally, Telmex offers
services such as connectivity, internet access, co-location, web hosting and
interconnection services to other telecommunications operators.
Investment case
The key reasons for our UW rating are: (1) Continuing weak core trends at
TMX as demonstrated by double-digit EBITDA decline over the last six
quarters; (2) Likelihood of adverse regulation hurting trends further; (3) Less
alignment with Carlos Slim, given recent AMX-CGT-TII transaction, which
lowered his effective stake in TMX significantly; (4) Rising competition in
Mexico, especially from cable operators.
Potential for earnings upgrades
We believe TMX could upgrade earnings if it is able to control costs, which
have increased in line with inflation although revenues have been declining.
Moreover, TMX could get a pay-TV license, which would help trends.
Prospects for re-/derating
The market could rerate TMX, if trends improved or if there is an expectation
of a tender offer for minorities from its controlling shareholder AMX at a
premium to market price. No such offer has been announced.

Price target and risks
Our PT of US$12 is based on a combination of DCF ($14.1 value), growth
model ($10.1) and multiples ($11.5). Our DCF methodology and uses a WACC
of 10.4%, LT growth of -1% and LT margin of 39%. We rate TMX UW in
light of weak trends, rich valuation relative to higher-growth LatAm peers, and
a tough outlook. Upside risks to our rating are the same as the ones mentioned
in the above paragraph (better trends, a tender from AMX).

Key sector dynamics
In Brazil, the main sector drivers for 2011 should be: (1)
inflation. If inflation expectations increase in 2011, most
companies in the sector provide a hedge due to indexed
tariffs; (2) energy prices. With long-term electricity
supply-vs.-demand balance still comfortable, free market
prices seem capped for the near term, limiting upside to
generators. Outcome of new capacity auctions will give
the market more visibility on balance and price trend; (3)
regulation. The pending issue of concession renewals
might be tackled in 2011; additionally, while water
companies are expected to benefit from new regulation,
uncertainty should be high for power discos as they start
their 3rd cycle of tariff resets. Overall, we remain
lukewarm on the sector outlook for 2011 and
recommend investors to selectively focus on individual
cases of potential regulatory upside and stocks that
provide inflation hedges. In Chile, expectation of tight
reserve margin in 2011 means thinner margins for
generators (especially heavily hydro-based) and overall
growth outlook remains uncertain for major players.
Growth characteristics and how they are changing
Despite the high demand growth and increased need for
new capacity, auction for greenfield projects should
remain competitive, thereby limiting the upside for
generators. Discos should also benefit less from demand
growth in the future due to recent changes in tariff
regulation.
Drivers of returns – Multiples and growth
Valuation discount of Brazilian to global utilities is
sustained by high local interest rates, and we do not
expect this to change in 2011. Major potential for rederatings will come from regulatory changes. Although
cost cutting and M&A are potential drivers for power
discos, we are skeptical on execution during 2011.
Recommendations
Our top picks among Latin American utilities are:
Brazilian water utility Copasa (CSMG3) due to expected
rerating coming from a new tariff framework, and
Brazilian power utility AES Tiete (GETI4) due to
earnings stability, high dividend yield and inflation
hedge on revenues. We recommend that investors avoid
Brazilian power utility Eletropaulo (ELPL6), due to the
risk related to the tariff reset process in July 2011 and
potential nonrecurring R$1bn liability, and vertical
Brazilian utility CPFL Energia (CPFE3), due to
relatively expensive valuation.

COPASA
Overweight
CSMG3.SA
www.copasa.com.br
Price Target: R$34
R$26.35 (28 Oct 10)
End Date: Dec 2011
Company description
Controlled by the state government of Minas Gerais in Brazil, COPASA
(CSMG3) is a water utility providing water distribution for 603 municipalities
(population of 13.8mn) and sewage collection for 156 municipalities
(population of 7.8mn) in the state.
Investment case
CSMG3 trades at a valuation discount to peer SABESP, global water utilities
and Brazilian electric utilities, mainly due to the lack of a regulatory
framework in which the company’s capex is properly remunerated by marketbased return rates. Nevertheless, a regulatory agency was created in the state
and is expected to develop a new and market-friendly tariff framework during
2011, to be implemented by Mar 2012. Additionally, COPASA benefits from
high cost efficiency relative to peers, high corporate governance, high volume
growth prospects and a high dividend yield (2010e at 7.8%).

Potential for earnings upgrades
For 2011, positive surprises on earnings could come from: (1) sales volume
growth above our 9.5% estimate; and (2) tariff adjustment above inflation in
March. For the long term, since there is still uncertainty regarding the final
design of the new tariff framework, we chose to be more conservative and
assume a mild tariff reset of +2.3% in March 2012 (i.e., below inflation).
Earnings upside could come from a better outcome.

Prospects for re-/derating
While globally water utilities trade at a valuation premium to electric utilities,
in Brazil CSMG3 currently trades at a significant discount to electricity peers.
We expect valuation convergence under a new tariff framework.
Price target and risks
We have a DCF-based 2011YE price target of R$34, with 9.1% real cost of
equity and 0% perpetuity growth. The main risks are: (1) worse-than-expected
tariff reset; (2) sales volume growth for 2011 below our expectation; (3) belowinflation tariff adjustment in Mar 2011; (4) lower-than-50% earnings payout;
and (5) high increases in operating costs.

Investment case
We believe that the stock’s performance in 2011 should be capped by the
following potential negative drivers: (1) increased likelihood of a cash
disbursement of ~ R$1.1bn in the judicial dispute with Brazilian utility
Eletrobras; and (2) uncertainty regarding the outcome of the July 2011 tariff
reset. Moreover, we expect sustainable dividend yields to decrease post 2011 to
levels below of those of more predictable utilities in Brazil, which is a major
negative since a high dividend yield has been for years one of the highlights of
ELPL6’s investment case.

Potential for earnings upgrades
Since the potential cash disbursement of R$1.1bn in the judicial dispute with
Eletrobras is not yet included in our estimates, this represents the single highest
downside risk for 2011 earnings. The second major source of downside (or
upside) is the outcome of the July 2011 tariff reset. We assumed a 1.6% tariff
increase allowed by the regulator.

Prospects for re-/derating
ELPL6 currently trades at similar valuation levels to other power utilities in
Brazil. Although we do not expect this to change in the near future, we do
expect a relevant reduction in profitability after the July 2011 tariff reset.
Price target and risks
We have a DCF-based 2011YE price target of R$30, with 10.0% real cost of
equity and 0% perpetuity growth. The main risks: (1) a better-than-expected
outcome from the July 2011 tariff reset; (2) lower-than-expected expense with
pension liability; (3) a favorable resolution to the ~R$1.1bn debt dispute with
Eletrobras; (4) steep reduction in controllable costs; and (5) a sooner-thanexpected restart of the sale process of a controlling stake by BNDES.

Global Economic Outlook
•

Global GDP growth slowdown may have already
bottomed.
Data flow has been generally positive, with our
global PMIs signaling a slight pickup in growth
this quarter.
Global GDP growth in 2011 revised up a touch,
the first upward revision since April.
Inflation pressures muted well past 2011 in the
major developed economies; return to target
unlikely.
Fed and BoJ open quantitative easing spigot,
BoE likely to follow by early next year.
Laying the seeds for 1H11 acceleration
We are becoming more confident that the seeds are being
sowed for a lift to above-trend growth starting in 1H11.
The latest developments in the US, Europe and Asia all
suggest that earlier drags are fading. And while midyear
shocks will reverberate through production plans as
firms slow the pace of inventory accumulation, evidence
suggests this adjustment is moving forward
constructively. Largely in response to the stronger-thanexpected Chinese data out last month, we have marked
up our global GDP outlook for 2011(%oya) to a
modestly above-trend pace of 3% from 2.9% as of the
last GMOS. Although the change is small, it is the first
upward revision since late April and the momentum in
positive data surprises has turned positive in the last four
weeks after a midyear run of negative outturns.
Consequently, along with our tiny upward revision to the
growth outlook, the risk bias has shifted to the upside.
The deceleration in global economic activity looks to
have continued in the current quarter. After jumping
3.9% annualized in 2Q10, global GDP growth
downshifted to a 2.7%pace last quarter and is projected
to step further down to a2.3% pace this quarter. Some
deceleration should not have been a surprise as the
record surge in global manufacturing in the first year of
the recovery came off the boil. However, the downshift
was amplified by an unexpected slowing in consumer
and business spending, coupled with deterioration in
sentiment and risk appetites. Given the global nature of
the step down in manufacturing output growth, the
deceleration has been broad-based, with growth slowing
across the developed and emerging markets.

The forces behind the midyear slowdown—a policyinduced downshift in China, a sovereign debt crisis in
Europe and a slide in consumer confidence and spending
in the US—were broad-based and together posed a
legitimate risk to an expansion still in its early stages.
Also of concern was that these drags would be magnified
by a sharper retrenchment in business spending. Another
worry was of a negative feedback loop where slower
growth fed weakness through a deterioration in financial
conditions. In the event, firms appear to be bending
modestly in the face of slower growth but continue to
increase capital spending and hiring. Moreover,
financial conditions remain a positive for growth, helped
in part by the easing signals sent by central banks.

China provides the most concrete signs that drags are
abating. The latest figures confirm that the most intense
phase of the midyear inventory correction has passed and
that growth bottomed in 2Q. A steady rebound is now
under way, with domestic demand rising at a robust pace
despite softness in the export sector. We expect
economic activity in China to accelerate further in the
coming quarters, fueled by ongoing strengthening in
domestic demand. With monetary conditions still very
easy and government infrastructure projects for next year
to begin ramping up, the risk of overheating is now
increasing. We have thus raised our estimate for China’s
real GDP growth in coming quarters.
Recent developments suggest the risks to our Euro area
growth forecast are to the upside, with a shallower and
shorter soft patch than the one currently in our
projections. While the downward pressure on growth in
the periphery remains intense, the extent of the spillover
to the area wide economy looks to be more moderate
than we have been anticipating. Indeed, German business
surveys continue to impress.
In the US, developments are less clear-cut, with
consumer confidence still depressed and the impact of an
imminent fiscal tightening uncertain. However, goods
consumption rebounded smartly in the three months
ending in September and the latest reading on October
auto sales points to a further acceleration into the current
quarter. In addition, an upturn in investment and hours
worked remains intact. A key issue relates to the impact
of the Fed’s recently announced quantitative easing
package. While we are not building in significant growth
benefits from these actions in our forecast, the Fed’s
success in promoting more stimulative financial
conditions helps limit downside risks as the economy
continues to move forward at a modest pace. Perhaps the
most important effect of the Fed’s actions will be its
impact on confidence and asset prices.

The most recent readings from our J.P. Morgan global
PMIs are adding some upside risk to the projected
further slowing in growth in the current quarter. Based
on the data in hand, the J.P. Morgan all-industry PMI
(out tomorrow) appears to have jumped from 52.6 to just
under 55, a large move that would be the first increase
since peaking back in April and erase all of the decline
since July. If the current level of the index holds through
the end of the year, global GDP could expand at an
annualized pace of 2.9%, over 1/2%-point stronger than
our current forecast. More importantly, it is signalling
that the midyear slowdown may have already bottomed
as of the third quarter.
Deflation odds low, inflation odds also
low
Although economic activity appears set to accelerate into
2011, we are still only looking for trend-like growth in
1H11 and a move to above trend by 2H11.
Consequently, the elevated levels of economic slack—
primarily in the US, Euro area, Japan and UK—will
remain in place well past 2011 and so too will the
downward pressure on inflation. Despite a year of abovetrend growth in the first year of the recovery and a jump
in commodity prices from their recession lows, core
inflation rates in the developed markets (DM) have slid
to the lowest level in over 50 years. In this regard, the
historical record is clear: the level of economic slack
matters more than its change. Since 1970, negative
output gaps in every OECD country have been
associated with declines in core inflation even in periods
of above-trend growth. Phillips-curve-based model
estimates suggest headline inflation will fall further next
year in the developed markets, reaching just 0.1%oya by
the end of 2011. By contrast, the J.P. Morgan forecast
looks for headline inflation to remain near 1%oya.

The J.P. Morgan forecast rests on two key factors that
should stabilize inflation next year. The first is that
inflation expectations remain anchored near central bank
targets. Improved monetary policy over the past two
decades supports the view that expectations will remain
anchored. With that said, the greater risk is that
expectations will move down in line with the recent
decline in core inflation. The second factor underlying
the J.P. Morgan forecast is the considerable evidence
that the transmission of slack to inflation is diminished at
lower levels of inflation. Institutional as well as
behavioral impediments create significant downward
nominal rigidities in the price-setting process, thereby
putting a floor under inflation.
The initial installment was modest in size, although
officials have said they will expand it if necessary. We
also look for the Bank of England to renew its bondbuying program by early next year, although, with
inflation proving stickier at an elevated level, this is a
much closer call. In sharp contrast to each of these
central banks, the ECB has indicated it sees the potential
costs of quantitative easing as outweighing any potential
benefits. That said, none of these central banks is
expected to begin raising rates until mid-2012 at the
earliest.
Note: This piece is excerpted from the issue of Global
Markets Outlook and Strategy dated November 3, 2010.
In a recent report, we estimate that DM inflation will
average 1.1%oya in 2011 across a wide range of possible
behavioral and economic scenarios (“Stuck in a low
inflation rut,” Global Issues, October 27, 2010). This
result is in line with the J.P. Morgan forecast. Deflation
for the DM as a whole is unlikely, with a probability of
just 2%, but is somewhat more likely in the US.
Although deflation risks appear low, our analysis shows
that it will be difficult for central banks to raise inflation
to a level with which they are comfortable. We estimate
a two-thirds probability that inflation in the developed
markets remains below central bank targets by the end of
next year.
Although the risk of a deflationary spiral appears low,
this will be of limited comfort to central banks, who face
a formidable challenge in returning inflation to a level
with which they are comfortable. Large negative output
gaps continue to exert a powerful downward pull on
inflation. As an illustration, we estimate that GDP
growth would need to reach about 5.5% in the US, 3.3%
in the Euro area and 5.8% in Japan in 2011 to return
inflation to target in the coming year. Moreover, these
calculations assume stable inflation expectations,
anchored at central bank targets. If inflation expectations
move down in coming quarters, in line with past
experience, growth will need to be even stronger.
It is against this backdrop that the Fed has reopened the
quantitative easing spigot today, roughly in line with
market expectations. While the recent FOMC statement
indicated inflation is only somewhat low, recognizing
that the unemployment rate will remain elevated for
some time suggests an admission of failure on both legs
of its dual mandate. The BoJ has also already acted with
the announcement of a wide-ranging new asset-purchase
program.

Brazil Economics
Inflation risks on the rise
Despite the slowdown observed in the central quarters of
the year, the economic activity scenario remains very
robust, especially due to the domestic demand drivers.
The labor market is extremely tight, with the
unemployment rate at a historical low and real wage
gains accelerating at a worrisome pace. On top of that,
credit conditions continued to improve despite the 200bp
monetary tightening implemented between April and
September. Against this backdrop of strong domestic
demand expansion, we believe Brazil’s growth rate will
reaccelerate by the end of this year and will begin 2011
on a strong footing. The resumption of growth in an
environment of already tight utilization rates will put
even more pressure on headline and core inflation, which
are already running above the BCB target of 4.5%.
Will Rousseff rebalance Brazil’s policy mix?
The economic policy mix in the last year of the Lula
Administration has been clearly unbalanced, with the
expansionary fiscal policy putting upward pressure on
interest rates, and the high yields of local rates market
attracting short-term capital inflows. The problem is that
the government has responded to the resulting fx
appreciation pressures with the imposition of new
taxation on foreign capital inflows instead of promoting
a fiscal adjustment aimed at reducing aggregate demand.
We expect that the next administration will promote
some fiscal correction, but the resumption of a monetary
tightening is inevitable, in our view. Our forecast is that
the Selic rate will be increased by 175bp next year, to
12.50%. Assuming some policy action will be taken by
the next administration, we anticipate growth will
moderate to 4.5% next year (from 7.5% in 2010), which
will help to reduce inflation from 5.6% this year to a
still-above-target 5.1% in 2011.
All eyes on cabinet formation
The market expects a market-friendly cabinet, with exFinance Minister Palocci likely setting the agenda from
the Chief of Staff’s chair. BCB Governor Meirelles is
seen as an invaluable asset and should be retained, either
remaining at the BCB or being appointed to a more
political position. If Meirelles leaves the BCB, an
appointment from within is likely. For the finance
portfolio, Guido Mantega and Luciano Coutinho are the
leading contenders, in our view.

Fundamentals and politics in 2011
Structural change in the auto sector and credit
growth could overcompensate sluggish US growth
The externally driven manufacturing production has led
Mexico’s economic recovery throughout the year.
Nevertheless, growing concerns about longer-term
sluggish growth in the US is posing risks ahead. In this
context, we believe Mexico’s GDP will grow 3.5% in
2011 (consensus: 3.5%). We could even see lower
growth rates in Mexico. Nevertheless, it is our take that
the structural change that the auto sector has experienced
in the Mexican economy and credit growth in Mexico
will help to overcompensate US growth’s sluggishness.
On the one hand, several automakers across the world
have reallocated part of their production to Mexico to
benefit from a weaker peso, skilled Mexican labor, stillhigh transport costs, and the country’s strategic
geographic location.
On the other hand, commercial banks’ credit might post
significantly high growth rates in 2011. The Mexican
banking system is composed of 41 well-capitalized
commercial banks. The average capitalization index
stands at 17.7, with a range of 12.3 to early 240.
Unfortunately, total commercial bank credit to the
private sector represents less than 15% of GDP. After the
credit boom in Mexico in 2004-2006, nonperforming
loans increased significantly, making banks rethink their
credit-giving policies. Nevertheless, commercial banks
have now “cleaned up” their credit balances and
employment conditions have improved significantly in
the past 12 months. As a result, we believe that it is
highly likely that all these factors will probably lead to
an ascending trend in the country’s domestic credit cycle.

Gubernatorial elections will likely create a political
impasse for structural reforms
There is no doubt that Mexico needs several structural
reforms, particularly meaningful fiscal and labor-market
reforms as well as new guidelines to empower antitrust
officials to dilute monopolies and foster competitiveness.
We strongly believe that the lack of these structural
reforms is restraining domestic demand and Mexico’s
potential GDP. Furthermore, the prevailing legal
uncertainty with regard to enforcing contracts is shortcircuiting the credit intermediation function of
commercial banks. Unfortunately, the seemingly large
GDP growth rates that the country has observed in 2010
appear to be providing a “false sense of security” to
government officials, particularly legislators, who have
now downplayed the need for reforms in Mexico.
Furthermore, with gubernatorial elections in six states
next year, particularly in the highly populated State of
Mexico, it is going to be difficult to secure congressional
approval for the key reforms that the country needs.
Not all long-term plans are negative. We believe
infrastructure projects, including construction of roads,
water treatment plants, and massive transportation
systems, will play an important role in the next two years.
This is mainly because several projects that had been in a
feasibility study phase over the past two years are now
ready to start construction. Furthermore, several projects
suffered important delays because of the global financial
crisis. However, state-owned development bank
BANOBRAS has modified its lending framework to
provide guarantees in addition to funding and is now
working with the National Infrastructure Fund to also
provide direct, nonrefundable funds to projects with a
high social return.
Banxico to keep rates on hold throughout the year
The growth backdrop we have sketched above, in
addition to well-anchored medium-term inflation
expectations and moderate wage increases, clearly
support our “low-for-long” monetary policy call, in
which we anticipate that the first hike will not take place
until 2Q12 (consensus: 1Q12).
Market strategy
We favor long MXN over receivers in the front end of
the TIIE swap curve.

China Economics
Growth momentum in China’s economy improved
moderately in 3Q10, with real GDP rising 8.1%q/q saar
by our calculation, exceeding our forecast of 7.5% and
following a 7.2%q/q saar expansion in 2Q. The latest
macro figures confirm our view that growth bottomed in
2Q and has been on a steady rebound since, with
domestic demand rising at a solid pace despite softness
in the export sector and with the most intense phase of
inventory correction gradually fading. We expect growth
in China to pick up steadily in coming quarters, with
further solid expansion in domestic demand in particular.
Local governments are anticipated to gear up for the start
of new projects going into 2011. This, along with the
central government’s efforts to meet the 5.8-million-unit
housing target, solid private consumption and investment
demand, the gradual fading of the inventory drag, and
largely accommodative monetary conditions, could
increase the risk of overheating by early next year. We
have moderately increased our estimate for China’s real
GDP growth in coming quarters. Our forecast for 2010
full-year GDP growth has been fine-tuned to 10.0%oya
(previously: 9.8%), while our estimate for 2011 GDP
growth is now 9.0%oya (previously: 8.6%).
We have also revised the forecast for 2010 average CPI
inflation rate to 2.9%oya (previous forecast: 2.8%). The
forecast for 2011 average CPI inflation now stands at
3.2%oya, taking into account the impact of potential
further resource and energy price liberalization. Indeed,
we believe the PBoC’s 25bp rate hike effective on
October 20th is intended to signal that the central bank is
keen to contain inflation expectations. As such, we
expect headline CPI inflation to peak in coming months,
with the inflation rate gradually stabilizing at around
3.2% by early next year. Our US team is looking for the
Fed to maintain its fed funds target rate through to 2Q12,
and to begin QE2 in early November. So these factors
imply the PBoC would be somewhat constrained should
it want to undertake further rate hikes. We now expect
the PBoC to be on hold in coming months as it monitors
the impact of tightening measures on the property sector.
We expect the next rate hike to come in 2Q11, and we
look for a total of two rate hikes next year. For the
property sector, we believe the authorities will continue
to focus on sector-specific measures, targeting both the
demand and the supply sides, in an effort to contain
further rises in property prices.

Meanwhile, CNY/USD appreciation has accelerated in
recent weeks, and the trend could continue post the US
midterm elections and G-20 summit in November. The
probability of more significant near-term CNY/USD
appreciation could yet be capped by Chinese
policymakers’ fears over ongoing uncertain external
demand and its impact on exports, and if the spot rate
begins to show more two-way volatility when political
pressure starts to ease later this year. Our forecast is for
the CNY/USD rate to be unchanged at 6.6 at year-end,
with the bilateral rate expected to appreciate steadily
toward 6.3 by end-2011.

On the fiscal front, we expect the focus to shift from
infrastructure investment toward consumption and
achieving more balanced growth. In addition to
structural reforms and the gradual buildup of social
security, urbanization and infrastructure spending will
likely remain a key focus in the 12th five-year plan.
Therefore, solid public investment and steadily
strengthening private consumption should ensure that the
economy expands at a solid 8% pace over the next five
years, despite soft global demand. This, together with the
government’s commitment to increase the supply of
housing, suggests that commodity demand from China
will remain solid in coming years. However, the
government’s firm resolve to conserve energy and
slower the pace of private investment growth, given the
softer global demand and abundant capacity in many
manufacturing sectors, suggests that the booming pace of
China’s commodity demand growth during the past
decade is unlikely to be repeated.

Target railway capex for 2010 and 2011
As per the Ministry of Railway’s (MOR) plan announced
in July 2009, the total railway spending target for 2010
and 2011 is Rmb825 billion and Rmb900 billion
respectively. The target capex on civil works, which
accounts for c.85% of the total railway capex, is
Rmb700 billion for 2010 and Rmb750 billion for 2011.
This implies that spending on civil works is estimated to
increase by 17% in 2010 and 7% in 2011. This is
significantly lower than the average growth rate of 64%
in the last four years.

Target railway length
Based on the latest version of the MOR’s medium- to
long-term railway development plan (announced in
2008), China plans to achieve a total ending length of
120,000km by 2020. During late 2008 and early 2009, in
response to the financial crisis outside China, the MOR
fast-tracked a number of projects on back of the
government’s aggressive fiscal stimulus. With this year’s
ending length at approximately 90,000km, our regional
infrastructure team expects China to achieve a total
railway length of 110,000km by 2012. The MOR’s
existing medium-term target of 120,000km of railway
network by 2020 can be achieved as early as 2015.
Strong railway spend so far
Railway capex is up 27% yoy in 9M2010. The MOR’s
railway spending amounted to Rmb491 billion in the
first nine months, achieving 60% of the full-year target
of Rmb825 billion, ahead of last year’s ratio of 55% over
the same nine-month period. Within this, a total of
Rmb430 billion was spent on civil works, forming 88%
of the railway spending and achieving 61% of the fullyear target, ahead of last year’s 57%. For the final
quarter of the year, the pace of increase is expected to
soften markedly to a meager 3% yoy, assuming the
MOR’s target is kept unchanged. It is likely that the
current target may be exceeded if the current momentum
is maintained.
Expectations from the 12th Five-Year Plan
While the 12th Five-Year plan has not yet been officially
announced, our regional infrastructure team believes that
there is a high likelihood of upward revisions to railway
infrastructure spending and increases in the MOR’s
medium-term railway operating length target. The
government has emphasized on several occasions that
improving transportation links, particularly the railway
network, is vital to rebalancing economic growth across
regions.

Western-China-driven growth
Real GDP growth – Western China lagged until 2008
15
Western China
Western China includes six provinces (Gansu, Guizhou,
Qinghai, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan), five
autonomous regions (Guangxi, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia,
Tibet, and Xinjiang), and one municipality (Chongqing).
The major cities (with a population over 5 million) are
Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Kunming, Wulumuqi.
Land area and population
Western China accounts for 71% of mainland China’s
area. Its population as of 2009 was 370 million, or
27.5% of China’s total population.
GDP growth
From 2000 to 2008, Western China’s GDP growth
consistently lagged that of the non-western regions (see
table top right). As a result, Western China’s share of
China’s real GDP experienced a steady decline during
the period (see figure top right). In 2007, Western China
accounted for 15.9% of China’s real GDP growth, lower
than its share in 2000 (16.3%). However, in 2009 the
trend reversed, with Western China’s GDP growing at
12.4%, higher than the non-western region’s at 11.5%.
The two main reasons for this were: a) With its greater
reliance on China’s exports, the impact of the global
recession in 2008 was more severe on Eastern China;
and b) Western China benefited from China’s massive
infrastructure spending in 2009, as significant resources
were allocated to the western region, which has poor
infrastructure facilities.
Per-capita GDP
There is significant scope for economic development in
Western China compared to the more developed coastal
regions. 2009 average per capita GDP in the 12 western
provinces was Rmb17,595. This is less than half of the
per capita GDP of Rmb42,469 in the coastal provinces.
The average per capita urban income for the 12 western
provinces was Rmb13,896. This is only 70% of the
average in coastal provinces (Rmb19,766).

Policy initiatives and projects announced in 2010
In 2000, Beijing adopted the ‘Go West’ policy to
develop its relatively isolated and underdeveloped
Western China region. The main components of the
policy included infrastructure development, attracting
foreign investment, improving ecological protection,
promoting education, and retaining high-skilled labor
from moving to richer provinces. From 2000 to 2009,
China launched 120 projects with a total cost of Rmb2.2
trillion (source: Reuters).
In 2010, the following projects and preferential policies
were announced to further improve the development of
the western region:
1. The National Development Reform and Commission
(NDRC) announced on 6 July that China will embark on
23 new projects in the west region this year totaling
Rmb682 billion (US$100 billion). These projects range
from railway, airports, power grids, power stations, wind
powers to coal mines.
128
2. China’s State Council announced on 7 July that the
new resource tax, which was levied in Xinjiang as of 1
June 2010, and is charged at 5% of the revenue of coal,
oil and gas companies, should be extended to all 12
provinces in Western China. The resource tax reform
will help the local governments in Western China to
collect taxation revenue to develop the local economy
and gradually bridge the gap between developed coastal
regions and the less developed western regions.
3. The state council confirmed that the encouraged
industries in Western China will be entitled to 15%
preferential income tax rate for another 10 years. In
comparison, the income tax rate of Chinese enterprises in
other regions will be unified to 25%. This measure
should help boost Western China’s medium-term growth
by attracting more factories/companies and creating
more job opportunities.

*We use a re-organized Gordon growth model to derive a ‘fair value’ P/E = (ROE-g)/ROEx(COE-g).
1) COE made up of the US 10-year treasury yield as the risk-free rate, the respective country EMBIG spreads, and a fixed equity market risk premium of 5% (30-year average)
2) We take the potential GDP growth as the growth rate; 3)the 12m-forward I/B/E/S consensus ROE

versus the MSCI benchmark. UW is less than -2% of benchmark weighting. Fund weightings are as of 30 September 2010 and MSCI weightings as of 1
October 2010. Numbers in brackets are the previous month values. Potentially China stocks have been misclassified as Hong Kong, hence the combined
weight for Hong Kong and China. Hong Kong investment may be providing non-China exposure

Explanation of Equity Research Ratings and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return
of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] J.P. Morgan Cazenove’s UK Small/Mid-Cap dedicated
research analysts use the same rating categories; however, each stock’s expected total return is compared to the expected total return of
the FTSE All Share Index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. A list of these analysts is available on request. The analyst or
analyst’s team’s coverage universe is the sector and/or country shown on the cover of each publication. If it does not appear in this
report, the certifying analyst(s)’ coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research website, www.morganmarkets.com.
