Equity Outlook ECONOMIC & STRATEGY RESEARCH 10 April 2017 Equity Research Extract from a report Equity Outlook Global equity market gets the green light ■ The global stock market followed its successful final quarter of last year and Miroslav Frayer shares also grew in 1Q17. The MSCI world equity index has increased more than (420) 222 008 567 miroslav_ frayer @kb.cz 6% since the beginning of the year. Richard Miřátský ■ The PSE’s PX index has slightly surpassed the performance of major U.S. and (420) 222 008 560 [email protected] European indexes. It has added more than 6% since January. In comparison with Jana Steckerová regional competitors, the Polish WIG20 became a clear winner, jumping 15%. On the (420) 222 008 524 jana _steckerova @kb.cz contrary, the Hungarian BUX’s profit of less than 1.5% has not enthused investors. ■ A positive for the PSE is the fact that we have found no company whose shares remained in the red in the first quarter of the year. Shares of petrochemical group Unipetrol became a clear winner, on the contrary, the largest issuance, CEZ, added the smallest gains from the Prague peloton. ■ The average daily trading volume for the past two quarters was more volatile. Nevertheless, it is evident that Moneta Money Bank’s entry supported trading activity on the domestic market. For the first three months, the newcomer became the No. 1 among the most traded stocks on the Prague Stock Exchange. ■ SG increased the weight of equities in its global portfolio from 58% to 63%. Improving macroeconomic environment, reflation and the structural switch from monetary to fiscal policy impetus in developed countries are strong incentives for investors to switch out of expensive bonds into equities. ■ We maintain a positive stance on most stock indices for this year. With major indexes at their record heights, the US equities look overpriced with limited upside. Once political uncertainties fade away, European equities that trade at 47% price to book discount compared with their US counterparts, should provide strong growth potential. ■ Our most preferred sectors include automobiles & parts, construction & materials, financial institutions and newly also Aerospace & defence. On the contrary, telecommunications and utilities belong among our least preferred sectors. ■ The PSE could deliver a return of 6-7% in the next 12 months. We believe financial stocks are among the most attractive. From other stocks under our coverage, we recommend buying Pegas Nonwovens, Philip Morris CR and CME.

The MSCI world equity index has improved more than 6% since the beginning of the year. This development was attributed mainly to persisting favourable economic trends. 448 Shares are driven up by anticipated expansionary U.S. fiscal policy with a significant 436 investment in infrastructure and a reduction of regulation after Donald Trump became 424 president in January. Neither the Fed’s decision to raise interest rates nor growing 412 speculations on faster monetary policy tightening has halted rising stocks. Only 15 of the 96 major indices tracked by Bloomberg have headed downward. The main U.S. index, S&P 500, 400 VII-16 IX-16 XI-16 I-17 III-17 and the European Stoxx 600 index have added roughly 5% since the beginning of the year. Source: Bloomberg, MSCI World index Thus, emerging markets in particular have pulled up the global equity index. The MSCI Emerging Index rose more than 12% in 1Q17. One of the few unprofitable indexes is the Japanese Nikkei 225, which has given up 2.7% since the beginning of the year. The main cause was the Japanese yen, strengthening against the U.S. dollar since January by more than 5%, which worsened the performance of local exporters especially.

It has added more than 6% since January. In comparison with regional competitors, world's major stock indexes. the Polish WIG20 became a clear winner, jumping 15%. On the contrary, the Hungarian BUX’s profit of less than 1.5% has not enthused investors. The end of the CNB’s FX Waiting for the end of the CNB’s FX commitment was a story on Czech financial markets from commitment should not the beginning of the year. This happened on 6 April. The exit did not affect the Prague stock significantly influence the domestic stock market. market significantly. In an immediate reaction, we could see larger movements only of stocks with dual listings in Prague, where shares of Erste and VIG dropped in the Czech crown. We do not think abandonment of the CNB’s instrument should have a significant impact on stock prices or, respectively, company results. It is difficult to pinpoint a company that would significantly profit from this decision. Most companies operate either on the domestic market or earn a small percentage of revenue abroad. The following several factors lead us to this conclusion: First of all, it is mainly about how much CZK will strengthen. Second, we have already incorporated a gradual strengthening of the Czech crown into our models. Finally, it is necessary to say that companies use natural or financial hedging to a large extent, which eases the impact of further CZK appreciation. 10 April 2017 3 Economic & Strategy Research Equity Research Overall, we think the strengthening will have no substantial impact on the performance of companies. The share price impact can be observed in companies that have a dual listing in Prague and a main trading market abroad. There, with CZK strengthening and the same EUR price, stock prices in CZK will fall to avoid arbitration trades.

  • Equity Outlook Trade War Opportunities
    ECONOMIC & STRATEGY RESEARCH 16 January 2019 Semiannual report Extract from a report Equity Outlook Trade war opportunities © iStock Increasing interest rates in the United States and the escalating trade war: Uncertainty on markets stemming from these factors as well as from negotiations about Brexit and the situation concerning Italian public finances resulted in a sharp increase in volatility. At the end of 2018, there were significant sell-offs, and stock indices closed the year in the red. An expected recession in the United States will send stock markets down: After a short-term recovery of stock indices, this year should eventually end up failing. We believe the Prague PX Index has the potential to overcome the major world indices thanks to its sectoral composition. The trade war continues to be a significant influence on equity markets : For all of last year, the escalation of the trade war damaged equity markets. At the beginning of 2019, news of the successful meeting between US and Chinese representatives helped markets to recover. The car industry, miners, and steel and aluminium producers suffered the most from the trade war: Producers of steel and aluminium have suffered due to the imposed tariffs, whereas investors are losing faith in the car industry as the threat of tariffs remains.
