Near the end of the first half, the stock market accumulated an upside of 7.4%, partially reducing 2H17 Top Picks – Equity the gap maintained by other Latin American indices on Colombia. Such increase largely captures Target the positive but moderate recovery sense that the Colcap forecast updates made during 1Q17 Company Recommendation Upsie Weight Price and 2Q17 had brought. By the beginning of the second half the models are refreshed again, Grupo Éxito Buy 21,700 40.9% 100% seeking to incorporate new information and changes in the conditions of the economy, the market Source: Grupo Bancolombia and the perception of agents. With an upward revision of ~2%, up to 1,502 points, the local stock market index offers a 3.5% upside over the next six months, extending the dynamics observed since the beginning of 2016. Evolution Colcap vs. Top Picks 1H17 Despite the positive omens this forecast may bring, the absence of clear value catalysts highlights 125 the difficulties that the Colcap will have to face in order to cover the almost 52 points left to reach fair value. The main challenges facing the local equity market’s in 2H17 are: i) a less dynamic 115 economic recovery, ii) the downward bias in the oil market, iii) the delay in the execution of 4G 105 projects, and iv) the dependence on foreign flows. 95 By contrast the favorable conditions that could facilitate the capture of valuations, although may 85 already be partially discounted by prices, are: i) further reductions in interest rates and their effects 75 on economic activity and in the possible repricing of the market multiples, ii) an additional 65 improvement in the perception of country risk that brings with it additional buying flows (due to a Jan-15 May-15 Sep-15 Jan-16 May-16 Sep-16 Jan-17 May-17 deterioration of the appetite for developed markets in favor of emerging ones), and iii) the Top Picks COLCAP execution of investment strategies towards indexation by institutional agents that favor the Source: Grupo Bancolombia, Bloomberg. creation of iColcap units. This risk balance, biased downward, is reflected in the result of the methods of 2H17 Top Picks, where only Grupo Exito stands out as the name with enough conditions to present a superior Performance recommended portfolio vs. COLCAP performance against the rest of the market. Although there are other groups of stocks worthy of Top Picks Colcap Alpha (bps) mention, such as Avianca, Celsia and Grupo Argos, at the top of the list, only Grupo Exito meets 1H15 -13.6% -8.5% -515 the minimum requirements of the methodology, details we analyze in this report. 2H15 -4.4% -13.7% 927 1H16 20.1% 15.8% 427 Grupo Exito: Dancing to the Rhythm of Samba 2H16 3.1% -2.5% 560 1H17 11.4% 13.1% -167 After applying our asset selection methodology we have chosen Grupo Exito as the only Top Pick Historical 15.17% 3.51% 1,166 for 2H17. Our main reason continues to be the company’s exposure to the Brazilian market and Source: Grupo Bancolombia. the potential recovery we expect it to have in the short and medium term. Since the 30th of November, when we published our previous Top Picks report, Grupo Exito’s stock has valued 7.7%. Despite this, we still believe that the asset is undervalued and the reasons may not differ much from those presented in the previous report. Analysts/Specialists Name: Jairo Julian Agudelo Restrepo It is important to emphasize that our methodology does not only take into account fundamental Phone: (574) 6047048 E-mail: [email protected] aspects but also those regarding market and risks in order to achieve an objective selection in line with our economic vision of 2017.

Beyond a 2% upward revision in the final estimate, the analysis of the components of the projection methodology reveals a unique behavioral pattern of the main levers of market value. On one hand we have corporate variables, those that are traditionally studied under bottom-up approaches and that denote the strength or financial weakness of the listed companies. The upside contribution of these variables in the new forecast is minimal. As shown below, the variations in target prices of the fundamental Table 1 – Fundamental Model – Target Prices methodology and the growth in earnings per share of the relative value methodology have a lower incidence. Stock Var% 3Q 2Q Bancolombia PF -0.6% 29,488 29,659 On the other hand, economic and market variables related to the appetite of agents for risky G. Sura -0.9% 41,592 41,991 assets, commonly associated with top-down analysis approaches, are having a greater impact Ecopetrol 0.0% 1,420 1,420 on some of the forecast components. The sentiment methodology reveals this greater preference Nutresa 0.0% 27,920 27,920 G. Argos 0.0% 22,950 22,950 for risk, while opening the door to the debate about the repricing opportunity in the multiple at Bancolombia -1.8% 29,433 29,975 which the Colcap is valued. Cemargos -10.0% 11,650 12,940 G. Aval PF -1.0% 1,248 1,261 Fundamental Model G. Sura PF 1.6% 42,133 41,461 ISA 26.5% 13,050 10,320 For 2H17, the fundamental model increases only 1.1%, from 1,514 to 1,531 points. This is due to EEB 15.0% 2,070 1,800 the fact that 16 names, corresponding to 56% of the index, maintained relative stability in their G. Argos PF 0.0% 22,950 22,950 Corficol 15.2% 40,900 35,500 contributions to the Colcap due to small variations in their target prices (~2%). Of this group, Éxito 0.0% 21,700 21,700 Canacol stands out, whose valuation decreased 22.6% compared to 2Q17, but due to its low BanBOgotá 0.0% 64,000 64,000 weighting in the index the net effect is very small. Among those names that had the greatest Davivienda PF -0.8% 33,225 33,490 negative impact in the estimate, issuers from the financial sector stand out. Whether due to Cemargos PF -10.0% 11,650 12,940 reductions in target prices or a weaker weighting in the index, Bancolombia and Grupo Aval’s CLH -5.2% 13,550 14,300 Celsia 2.4% 5,220 5,100 shares contributed much less than they did in previous quarters. Finally, Cementos Argos, whose G. Aval n,a, n,a, 1,150 core value was revised downwards by ~10%, also joined the group of smaller contributions. Avianca PF 0.0% 4,440 4,440 Canacol -22.6% 10,340 13,360 On the other hand, the great contributors were Isa, EEB and Corficolombiana. In spite of their Conconcreto 0.0% 1,800 1,800 moderate weights within the index, the strong revision of target prices (~26%, 15% and 15%, ETB 0.0% 745 745 respectively) took them to lead the new estimate of the fundamental exercise. BVC 0.0% 23.7 23.7 COLCAP Fundamental 1,531 1,514 As of the closing date of this report, the fundamental methodology reveals a valuation potential of 5.5%, up to 1,531 points. It’s worth emphasizing that such a scenario is challenging, since low- Bloomberg Analysts Consensus weighted shares and even those with moderate liquidity should value more than 15% over the Bancolombia Equity Research next six months for this scenario to materialize, which is highly challenging. n.a. : Not available Source: Grupo Bancolombia. In short, except for isolated cases of material upward revisions, the fundamental methodology suggests that the fair value of the companies that make up the market index maintains relative stability. Relative Value Model The result of this methodology shows a target level of 1,491 points, presenting the smallest variation compared to the 2Q17 revision, which stood at 1,487. The theory behind this valuation Table 2 – Relative Value Model method assumes that the level of the index at the end of 2017 will be determined by i) the earnings per share (EPSs - 2018E) and ii) the expected Price to Earnings (FWD P/E). From a corporate Var% 3Q 2Q perspective it’s reasonable to anticipate that there will be no major changes in the forecasts of the short- and medium-term EPSs. On the contrary, the precision of the model will depend on the EPS 2018E (COP/share) -0.7% 127.6 128.5 fact that, between 2017 and 2018, local companies report a ~26% increase in net profits to 127.6 P/E Forward 1.0% 11.7x 11.6x index units, a situation that, although challenging, is plausible from a bottom-up perspective of COLCAP Relative 1,240 1,491 1,487 issuers. Source: Grupo Bancolombia 2 Colombian Equity | Colombian Universe Update June 28, 2017 Now, from a top-down perspective, is it possible to justify a repricing of the multiple used? Would Figure 1 – P/E Forward it be reasonable to price the stock market under a P/E ratio greater than 11.6x, corresponding to the multiple used in the last review of the valuation exercise? In short, no.

    PRESENTACIÓN SEMANAL 5 de abril de 2021 PRINCIPALES CONCLUSIONES EN ESTE REPORTE Contexto En marzo, se crearon 916 mil nóminas no agrícolas en Estados Unidos, por encima de la expectativa del mercado. La dinámica del mercado laboral en este periodo se vio favorecida por el avance en la vacunación y la aprobación del paquete fiscal por USD 1.9 billones. En todo caso, frente a febrero del año 2020, permanece una destrucción de 8.4 millones de puestos de trabajo. El Banco Mundial revisó al alza sus perspectivas de crecimiento para América Latina y el Caribe, desde -7.9% y 4% en 2020 y 2021, hasta -6.7% y 4.4%, respectivamente. Para Colombia, revisó su pronóstico de crecimiento para 2021 hasta 5%, desde 4.9%, una cifra consistente con la que recientemente publicó el Ministerio de Hacienda en su Plan Financiero. En Colombia, la tasa de desempleo en el total nacional fue de 15.9% en febrero. Frente a febrero de 2020, permanece una destrucción de 1.18 millones de puestos de trabajo. En sus minutas de la reunión del 26 de marzo, los codirectores insistieron en la necesidad de que se apruebe por parte del congreso un programa de ajuste fiscal que apunte a garantizar la sostenibilidad de las finanzas públicas que le permita al Banco de la República mantener una política monetaria expansionista sin comprometer la estabilidad macroeconómica. Reconocieron además el ajuste en las condiciones financieras derivado de las desvalorizaciones recientes en los Tesoros americanos, aunque insistieron en que aún prevalece un ambiente de alta liquidez global.

    Actualización conjunta de nuestro universo de cobertura Mercado accionario Análisis fundamental en medio de la pandemia colombiano Dirección de Investigaciones Económicas, Sectoriales y de Mercados Julio de 2020 Análisis fundamental en medio de la pandemia 47% sobreponderar, 5% Neutral, 37% subponderar y 11% Bajo Revisión La incertidumbre y el miedo hacen una mezcla explosiva para los mercados financieros, generando descalces de valor como los que, en nuestra opinión, vivimos en la actualidad. Esta sobrerreacción a las noticias económicas negativas en medio del pánico (covid-19) es normal en el corto plazo, abriendo oportunidades de inversión desde un punto de vista fundamental para portafolios que quieran apostarle a la recuperación económica. Actualizamos nuestro universo de cobertura realizando diferentes ajustes a nuestra metodología de valoración, entre las que destacamos ajustes en la tasa de descuento, expectativas de crecimiento en los diferentes sectores económicos, al igual que nuevas proyecciones macroeconómicas para Colombia y los países de la región. Con base en lo anterior, concluimos que el mercado colombiano presenta un atractivo descuento fundamental, con un índice COLCAP que presenta un potencial de valorización del 38,9%. Es importante tener presente que ninguna compañía nos arroja un potencial de valorización negativo, en otras palabras, la recomendación de Subponderar obedece a que dichos activos rentarán un 5% menos que la expectativa fundamental del índice Colcap Nunca antes el trabajo de un analista fundamental había sido tan complejo, pues las compañías de cara a la coyuntura han dejado de dar su visión de expectativa de resultados para 2020, lo que incrementa el nivel de riesgo de nuestras recomendaciones.

  • A Potential Driver for Colombian Growth
    Venezuela - A Free Option for Colombian Corporate Growth April 29, 2019 Venezuela – A Free Option for Colombian Corporate Growth Venezuela was once the second most important destination of Colombian exports after the United States, representing around 17% of our exports in 2007-2008. However, the economic situation of our neighbor led Colombian companies to stop trading, given the hard times for currency repatriation and payments. Since January 2019, this country is facing a political turmoil after Juan Guaidó, president of the Venezuelan National Assembly, proclaimed himself interim president. The political uncertainty of the neighboring country peaked after dozens of countries backed Guiadó as interim president of Venezuela, including the US and the European Union, opening the door for a political transition that leads us to deeply analyze the effects for the Colombian market. A Venezuela turnaround story will be a watershed moment for the Colombian economy. Colombian GDP could be boosted by 0.8% per year, without considering the potential expansion of Colombian corporations. Most sectors would benefit, and many companies listed on the BVC would have a growth free option if the Venezuelan economy recovers. On this front, Grupo Nutresa, Avianca Holdings, Fabricato, Enka, and Cementos Argos would be on the positive side of the equation since they had a direct or indirect operation in Venezuela. This doesn’t mean they are the only ones: infrastructure, utilities, textiles, food, and retail could take the lead to recover the industrial production of a country which vastly lacks investment. Additionally, financial institutions would benefit from a potential growth in loans to companies that would expand its footprint to Venezuela.

    Avianca Holdings Eficiencia antes que crecimiento Sobreponderar Especulativo Transporte COP3.320 20 de junio de 2019 Eficiencia antes que crecimiento Actualizamos nuestra cobertura de Avianca Holdings, acorde a la nueva estrategia Avianca corporativa que dejó de un lado la expansión de flota y rutas para concentrarse en Precio Objetivo (COP) 3.320 eficiencias de flota y búsqueda de rutas rentables. De esta forma, al reducir la flota Precio de cierre (COP) 1.500 de aeronaves de la compañía de 190 en 2018 a 168 a 2020, utilizar supuestos conservadores para la proyección de yields, incorporar mayor CAPEX, una mejora Potencial de Valorización 121% moderada de costos, y un mayor costo de refinanciamiento, nuestro precio objetivo disminuye 32% pasando de COP4,910/acción a COP3.320/acción para diciembre 2019, lo que implica un potencial de valorización de 121%. Rango 52 semanas (COP) 1.155 – 2.645 Capitalización bursátil En nuestra opinión, inclusive bajo supuestos conservadores, Avianca tendría una 1.495.481 (COPmn) disponibilidad para remplazar deuda de USD620mn, superior al vencimiento del bono internacional por USD550mn. No obstante, existen restricciones por Acciones en circulación (mn) 336,2 covenants que dificultarían la inmediatez de esta transacción, por lo que esperamos Flotante (mn) 171,4 que, de lograrse, se de alrededor de septiembre de 2019. Como conclusión, dado Volumen promedio diario que en nuestras estimaciones la compañía cuenta con la capacidad de refinanciar 12m (COPmn) 832,0 pero las presiones de corto plazo son significativas, reiteramos nuestra Retorno del dividendo 3,6% recomendación de SOBREPONDERAR ESPECULATIVO para inversionistas con alta Retorno esperado 121,3% tolerancia al riesgo.

    A Real Bargain for Risky Investors Sepember 4, 2018 A Real Bargain for Risky Investors Some times, market reaction goes against fundamental analysis, creating opportunities for investors that have a long-term view and high risk tolerance to support volatilities and market turmoil, while fundamentals return, and market Conconcreto vs. COLCAP (Base 100 LTM) prices search for their fair value. 120 110 This is the case of these three stocks: Conconcreto, Cemex Latam Holdings, and 100 Avianca.
