In 2017 we strengthened the foundation for future growth with several strategic initiatives across our business. However, we also faced an increasingly challenging retail environment in the US. Still, all regions contributed to growth. EMEA and Asia Pacific both delivered double-digit growth, driven by continued solid momentum throughout the store net- work as well as a strong online performance. The Americas increased revenue despite the slower US consumer market, as Latin America got off to a strong start, operating from the new office in Panama in 2017.

  • Der Kommer En Dag Efter COVID-19
    Afkastbarometer Der kommer en dag efter COVID-19 Globale aktier Massive hjælpepakker vil skubbe økonomierne i gang igen efter COVID-19 I de seneste uger har vi set centralbanker og regeringer næsten overalt i verden (og især i USA) træde i karakter med store finanspolitiske og pengepolitiske hjælpepakker. De er målrettet mod at få økonomierne nogenlunde uskadt igennem den meget alvorlige COVID-19-krise, som vi står i lige nu. Som vi forsigtigt spåede for en uge USA-aktier siden har det hjulpet markant på humøret på aktiemarkedet. Sydbanks vurdering: Vi løfter afkastbarometeret på de globale aktier til grønt. De store hjælpepakker styrker vores tillid til, at verdensøkonomien finder tilbage på et fornuftigt spor i løbet af 2. halvår 2020 efter at COVID-19 slipper sit tag. I det lys ser afkastpotentialet på de globale aktier nu mere attraktivt ud efter store kursfald i de Europæiske aktier seneste måneder. Kan centralbankerne med seddelpresserne og regeringerne med store hjælpepakker lykkes med en økonomisk genrejsning og overbevise investorerne om, at vi kan undgå en konkursbølge og en langvarig recession efter COVID-19, så er afkastpotentialet på de globale aktier forbedret i forhold til tidligere. Vejen ud af det økonomiske mørke bliver dog ikke snorlige. På kort sigt er der således udsigt til en negativ nyhedsstrøm med Emerging markets aktier smittespredning i USA og Latinamerika – og en perlerække af dårlige regnskaber og nedjusteringer. Aktieinvesto- rerne vil derfor stadig være nervøse, og vi kan ikke udelukke kursfald på kort sigt i et aktiemarked, hvor udsvingene stadig vil være væsentlig større end normalt. Vi gør os ingen illusion om at, aktiefesten bliver skudt i gang lige nu fordi vi løfter til grønt afkastbarometer, men der er faldet mere ro på de finansielle markeder i den seneste uge, Fjernøstlige aktier og det er tid til at tage bestik af, hvad der venter efter at COVID-19 slipper sit tag – selv om der kan blive turbulens i perioden indtil det sker.

  • Aktieanalyse Pandora
    AktieAnalyse Pandora Køb Amerikanerne driller Pandora i kvartalet Uændret Køb-anbefaling siden 06.11.2012 Vi fastholder ’Køb’ på Pandora. Regnskabet maner ikke endegyldigt en markant vækstopbremsning til jorden, og det skaber usikkerhed om den fremtidige Analysedato: 09.05.2017 vækst. Vi venter dog fortsat ikke en markant vækstopbremsning. Pandoras ind- tjeningspotentiale er efter vores vurdering langt fra afspejlet i aktiekursen. Aktuel kurs kl. 17.20: Overordnet er Pandora-regnskabet bedre end ventet 683,00 DKK Salget stiger 8% i lokal valuta og en moderat positiv valutaeffekt trækker yderligere op, så omsætningen vokser med 9% og lander på 5.159 mio. kr. i 1. kvartal. Det er 1% bedre end Begivenhed: vores estimat (+1% ift. markedsestimaterne). Resultatet af primær drift før afskrivninger og særlige poster (EBITDA) vokser 7% til 1.879 mio. kr. i kvartalet, hvilket er 6% bedre end vores 1. kvartalsregnskab estimat (+6% ift. markedsestimaterne). Pandora gentager 2017-prognosen og ser fortsat mere end 275 butiksåbninger i 2017. Håret i suppen er det underliggende aktivitetsniveau i USA Seneste analyse: Det klart mest negative element i regnskabet er LFL-salget (salget ud af de Pandora-ejede 05/05/17 – Kvartalsregnskabet konceptbutikker, der har eksisteret i 12 måneder) i USA, som går tilbage med 3% i 1. kvartal skal bekræfte et fortsat højt – hvor e-handel begrænser faldet. Tilbagegangen i salget ud af konceptbutikkerne er en kon- underliggende aktivitetsniveau sekvens af et svært detailmiljø med færre forbrugere i indkøbscentrene. Hertil begrundes fal- det med en Valentine-kollektion, der ikke har adskilt sig væsentligt fra tidligere års kollektioner og en reduktion af ekstraordinære tilbud (promotions) i et meget tilbudsorienteret amerikan- ske detailmarked.

First published 30 years ago in the US, there are now Board Indexes in 18 countries around the world. The Nordic Board Index analyses 125 of the largest listed companies in the region which comprise the following indices: OMX Copenhagen (25 companies), OMX Helsinki (25 companies), OBX (25 companies), OMX Stockholm (50 companies). Our purpose is to provide business leaders with a snapshot of current practice on boards across the region. In our analysis we examine year-on-year changes on a wide range of measures, from board size and diversity to director commitments and remuneration. We also compare Nordic companies with their counterparts in other countries, both in Europe and the US. We include a chart showing how different boards in different countries compare on key governance parameters, and conclude the Board Index with tables showing detailed information on all 125 featured companies. We hope you find this edition of the Nordic Board Index useful. The latest edition of each Spencer Stuart Board Index can be found on our website, (www.spencerstuart.com/board-indexes) alongside a wide range of other publications covering board and corporate governance issues.
