Mexichem, the petrochemical company controlled by billionaire Antonio del Valle Ruiz, has the most optimistic outlook of any company on Mexico’s IPC index. Mexichem’s 95% ratio of buy ratings is followed by Cemex, the biggest cement maker in the Americas, with 91%, and toll-road operator Promotora y Operadora de Infraestructura, or Pinfra, with 88%. Mexichem’s current valuations present an attractive entry point as the company has a “compelling risk-reward profile,” Gilberto Garcia, an equity analyst at Barclays, said in an Aug. 13 research report recommending investors buy the stock. It’s rated a buy by 18 of the analysts and hold by one. http://www.hydrocarbonprocessing.com/Article/...inancial-outlook.html |
