Fraser & Neave (F & N)

[greengiraffe]

FNN is not my core. I just hold on to odd lots and certificate.

Since the listing of FCL, the main focus is how to extract value from hard assets and keep sustaining the value @ FNN.

If that helps

broker's report - http://www.theedgemarkets.com/sg/article...e-says-dbs
F&N is ‘definitely an interested party’ in raising Vinamilk stake, says DBS.

SINGAPORE (Nov 4): DBS Vickers says Fraser and Neave (FNN) ( Valuation: 0.80, Fundamental: 1.55) is “definitely an interested party” in increasing its stake in Vinamilk.

According to Bloomberg, quoting Saigon Times, FNN is offering US$4 billion ($5.6 billion) for Vietnam’s State Capital Investment Corporation’s (SCIC) 45.1% stake in Vinamilk.
But FNN has issued an announcement indicating that it “has not submitted any offer letter to Vinamilk or SICC with regards to any offer to purchase SCIC’s stake in Vinamilk”.

The quoted offer price is about 40% premium to Vinamilk’s current traded price and values it at a market cap of US$8.9 billion.
This works out to a PE of 28x/25x on FY15F/16F, based on Bloomberg consensus’ estimates.

Fraser and Neave has expressed an interest to acquire the Peroni and Grolsch beer brands. However, the Company would like to emphasise that there is no certainty of any transaction materialising.

Peroni Brewery is a brewing company, founded in Vigevano in Lombardy, Italy in 1846. It has been based in Rome since 1864 and is now owned by SABMiller brewing group.

Grolsch Brewery, known simply as Grolsch, is a Dutch brewery founded in 1615 by Willem Neerfeldt in Groenlo. In 1895 the de Groen family bought the brewery. They had started their own brewery in Cuijk the Netherlands in the early 19th century. It is now also owned by SABMiller brewing group.

'High probability' of ThaiBev buying out F&N: Religare

“There is a high probability of of TCC injecting F&N’s F&B business into ThaiBev,” Tiruchelvam writes in a May 23 note.
