Market Summary ” Belgium is a small country (roughly the size of Maryland) with a population of 10.2 million and a per capita income near $27,242. Belgium has population density of 333 persons per square kilometer. Most of the population live in, or near, urban centers. Less than 2 percent are engaged in farming. The port and inland transport systems are highly developed. The business community is internationally oriented and services that potential exporters might need are readily available. ” Regional differences are strongly reinforced by language. Three official languages are spoken: Flemish (Dutch) dominates in the northern half of the country; French is spoken mainly in the southern half, called Wallonia; and German is used in a small area on Belgium's eastern border. In the business community, English is understood by almost everyone.

    CARREFOUR ENTERPRISE VALUATION Afonso Paisana de Vilas-Boas Lebreiro Project for the conferral of Master in Finance Supervisor: Prof. Doutor Pedro Manuel de Sousa Leite Inácio, Prof. Auxiliar ISCTE Business School, Departamento de Finanças April 2014 ABSTRACT This thesis consists in a global valuation of Carrefour, one of the largest food retailers in the World, using the three most commonly used methods, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF), Economic Value Added – Market Value Added (EVA-MVA) and Multiples. Since Carrefour is present in three continents and more than fifteen countries, studying its historical presence in terms of market position in each country is crucial to understand how a French retailer became one of the largest and most influent companies in food retail industry. The business concepts behind its international expansion and the cultural influence that were imposed in many countries through its marketing strategy were one of the keys to success. Concerning the results of DCF and EVA-MVA Models, they were computed through a projection for the 2013-2017 period, based on a set of assumptions and forecasts that include macroeconomic concepts and financial ratios that support the results achieved. Using DCF Model, the investment decision is to BUY the stock. However the relative valuation shows that Carrefour multiples are bellow its benchmark in every key performance indicator. When compared with other similar companies, the Group also presents lower multiples with the exception of P/E, meanings that Carrefour share may be undervalued. Keywords: Valuation, Retail, Discounted Cash Flow vs Economic Value Added, Market Multiples JEL classification: G30 and G32 RESUMO Esta tese consiste numa avaliação do Carrefour, um dos maiores retalhistas do Mundo, usando três métodos de avaliação, Discount Cash Flow (DCF), Economic Value Added – Market Value Added (EVA-MVA) e os Múltiplos.

  • Rozwój Wielkopowierzchniowych Obiektów Handlowych W Polsce
    Joanna Wrzesińska Katedra Ekonomii i Polityki Gospodarczej SGGW Rozwój wielkopowierzchniowych obiektów handlowych w Polsce Wstęp Reformy społeczno-gospodarcze po 1989 roku stworzyły warunki do rozwo- ju gospodarki rynkowej. Przemiany strukturalne najszybciej objęły sferę handlu i już w 1990 roku prywatna własność stanowiła 94%. Zlikwidowano centralne ustalanie cen większości dóbr i usług, zaprzestano stosowania dotacji do produk- cji. Warunki gospodarki rynkowej pozwalały na swobodne powstawanie, a także wycofywanie się z rynku sklepów zarówno małych, średnich, jak i dużych pod względem powierzchni, kapitału i zatrudnienia. W pierwszym okresie przemian powstało dużo małych przedsiębiorstw handlowych, w których dominował prywatny kapitał krajowy. Polski rynek w połowie lat dziewięćdziesiątych charakteryzował duży popyt konsumpcyjny, zrównoważony dostępnością dóbr i usług z produkcji krajowej oraz z importu. W aglomeracjach miejskich taka sytuacja na rynku spowodowała w handlu roz- wój sklepów wielkopowierzchniowych. W Polsce w pierwszych latach przemian nie było dużego krajowego kapitału wyspecjalizowanego w działalności handlowej. Lukę tę wypełnił kapitał zagra- niczny w formie inwestycji bezpośrednich. Zachętą dla kapitału zagranicznego do inwestowania w sklepy wielkopowierzchniowe były: korzystne przepisy po- datkowe, niskie ceny zakupu bądź dzierżawy nieruchomości, dostępność wy- kwalifi kowanej siły roboczej i duży chłonny rynek. Szybki rozwój wielkopo- wierzchniowych sklepów wynikał także z dużego doświadczenia w tej dziedzi- nie zagranicznych fi rm handlowych o światowym zasięgu, które dysponowały dużym kapitałem i nowoczesną kadrą zarządzającą. Koncentracja kapitału pozwoliła na powstanie różnych form WOH1 (powy- żej 400 m2), takich jak: sklepy dyskontowe, super- i hipermarkety oraz domy i centra handlowe. Te formy zostały przeniesione z rozwiniętych krajów Euro- py Zachodniej i Stanów Zjednoczonych. Wyróżniają się one dużą powierzch- 1WOH – wielkopowierzchniowe obiekty handlowe (Dz.U.

ISSN 2031-0293 Jean-Pierre Grimmeau A forgotten anniversary: the first European hypermarkets open in Brussels in 1961 Translation: Jane Corrigan Hypermarkets are self-service shops with a surface area of more than 2,500m², which sell food and non food products, are located on the outskirts of a city, are easily accessible and have a large car park. They are generally considered to have been invented in France in 1963 (Carrefour in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, close to Paris, 2,500m²). But nearly two years earlier, in 1961, GB had opened three hypermarkets under the name of SuperBazar, in Bruges, Auderghem and Anderlecht, measuring between 3,300 and 9,100m².
