A Top-Performing Fund Suddenly Gets Positive on Indonesia Stocks

A top Asean money manager has turned positive on Indonesian equities, once the worst performers in Asia this year.

Samsung Asset Management Co., whose fund has beaten 94 percent of peers over the past five years, raised the country’s shares to overweight from underweight, according to Alan Richardson, investment manager at the company in Hong Kong. Richardson says Indonesian stocks have already hit bottom and will stabilize from here.

The two-notch upgrade coincides with foreign investors’ return to Indonesia after they pulled more than $8 billion from the stock market in the past year. It also came after the central bank raised its benchmark rate for the first time since 2014 and pledged to take stronger measures to maintain currency stability. Indonesia’s benchmark stock index has gained 3.4 percent this week, heading for its strongest weekly gain since December 2016, and paring this year’s decline to less than 6 percent.

“Foreign funds are more likely to buy than sell as they get more positive price feedback of the stock market bottoming,” Richardson said. “I expect a 15 percent return in dollar terms, based solely on market mean reversion supported by stabilizing capital markets.”

#lazy-img-328049981:before{padding-top:56.25%;}

Richardson, who manages the $785 million Samsung Asean Equity Fund, said banking shares such as PT Bank Rakyat Indonesia, PT Bank Mandiri and PT Bank Negara Indonesia, along with consumer goods companies like PT Indofood Sukses Makmur, PT Gudang Garam and PT Ace Hardware Indonesia, are the fund’s top picks.

Nomura Holdings Inc. also raised Indonesia to overweight from underweight. Indonesian equity valuations have become attractive, suggesting a better risk-reward picture even though there might be some modest downside to current consensus earnings estimates, analysts Chetan Seth and Jayant Parasramka wrote in a report.

“With Bank Indonesia’s commitment to stabilize the rupiah via a rate hike, and commitment to keep macroeconomic stability, equity investor confidence should improve and foreign equity outflows should moderate,” Seth and Parasramka wrote.

Top Value Stocks To Own For 2019

tags:TGTX,NYCB,UNT,CQH,NTRA, It's a familiar story to anyone who knows much about financial history...   In the decade or so following the greatest spree of money printing and credit growth in history, we witnessed a tremendous bubble in financial assets.   This bubble saw interest rates on government bonds plummet as bond and stock prices soared.   It saw financial innovations no one had ever thought of before, including new ways to organize capital and banking systems.   It even saw the emergence of new currencies, which soared in value, creating an entirely new class of wealth.   Most people had no idea what to make of all of these new financial innovations. They couldn't believe how much wealth was being created. And in the days following a national holiday, huge crowds of investors stampeded to join in this new financial revolution.   Everyone would soon be rich!

• [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

  I wouldn't personally buy Cheniere Energy -- it has a complex corporate structure that includes not just Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. but also Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings LLC (NYSE: CQH),�where the only asset is an ownership stake in Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. Cheniere Energy is attempting to resolve this issue by acquiring Cheniere Energy Partners LP Holdings. Until that process is complete, however, that's just too much corporate complexity for my taste.

The Long-Term Trend That Makes Netflix an Awesome Buy

The traditional cable and satellite business keeps shrinking. Consumers have been cutting the cord in numbers that have steadily gone up since 2013, the first year the industry posted a year-over-year subscriber drop.

That's exceptionally good news for Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) which serves as a viable way for cord cutters to drop cable but still have access to high-quality programming. As more customers opt to drop cable or elect to go for cheaper "skinny" bundles with limited channels, the streaming leader should continue to post big gains.

Coupled with cable's subscriber losses is the fact that broadband internet has grown at a pace that's faster than cable cord cutting. That essentially creates a growing group of people for Netflix to target.

Year Pay TV gains/losses Internet gains

2012	170,000	2,000,000
2013	-105,000	2,600,000
2014	-125,000	3,000,000
2015	-385,000	3,100,000
2016	-795,000	2,700,000
2017	-1,495,000	2,100,000

How big is cord cutting?

As you can see from the numbers above, cord-cutting roughly tripled in 2015, then doubled again in each of the past two years. In reality, however, the numbers are worse because the pay-TV counts on the chart above include 2,212,000 people who subscribe to DISH Network's Sling TV and�1,155,000 subscribed to�AT&T's DirecTV Now.

Those services offer stripped-down lineups of channels aimed at allowing cable/satellite to hold onto at least some revenue from cord-cutters. That likely works in some cases, but the existence of cheaper live-streaming options may actually tip some on-the-fence customers to mostly cut the cord, replacing it with a cheaper TV package as well as Netflix.

Basically, the market is creating the perfect storm for Netflix. An increasing amount of consumers have broadband internet and are looking for entertainment options that cost less than cable.

Netflix keeps getting better

Cord cutting may level off at some point or it may not as younger consumers more used to consuming content on phones and tablets than televisions set up their own households. In addition to cable losing customers and more people adding broadband, Netflix also keeps growing its library.

While the streaming service has offered a strong selection nearly from the point it committed to adding original content alongside its library of movies and older TV shows, its offering gets better continually. A new member joining now could spend months just catching up on the service's series of Marvel shows or spend a sad week or so watching only Adam Sandler originals.

Watch out for the Mouse

Netflix's content library of originals has gotten so large that most companies could not compete unless they committed tens of billions of dollars over many years. The only real exception to that is Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) which has an archive of well-loved content as well as intellectual property rights that includes Star Wars, much of the Marvel universe, Pixar, and classic Disney characters.

The Mouse House will launch a Netflix-like streaming service at some point in 2019. It's possible that some potential and existing Netflix customers may opt for the Disney product. It's also likely that the addition of such a strong streaming player will push more people to cut the cord.

Netflix can chill

The streaming leader has built up an impressive library of content and that's a competitive moat. Yes, Disney and to a lesser extent HBO have the content to compete, but even other major media players like Comcast and Sony lack the libraries or intellectual property to be real rivals.

Perhaps mergers or content library deals might create one more viable player, but after that, the pickings would be slim. Netflix has put itself in a perfect position to capitalize on current market trends while owning content assets that will prove valuable should delivery methods change again in the future.
