財經演員換櫈仔

經濟好,金融市場自然轉趨活躍,證券、基金等必擴充營業,財經演員或稱名咀又見大轉移,音樂椅遊戲再次開始。

近日得知胡孟青重出「電視圈」,據了解她又趁大市轉旺另謀高就,胡小姐其實剛於去年從高信證券轉投滙豐,但今次因為「有喜」,已懷孕7個月,而在滙豐工作須要顧及環球股市,不論美股、歐洲股市,連日本、港股都要兼顧,日夜顛倒的輪班工作似乎並不太適合現在的她,對胎兒亦不是太好,故決定辭去滙豐金融服務(亞洲)副總裁一職,還笑說「依然後生,亦會繼續拼搏」。至於待BB出世後,亦會有多些時間湊BB。

但呢頭話辛苦,嗰頭又攞苦嚟辛,她說近日開了間公司名為「香港財經資訊顧問有限公司」,並出任該公司董事,倘若日後找她評論股市及股票,簡稱佢做股評人便可。

至於時富早前被挖角,原擔任研究部主管的劉仲坤被瑞銀挖角去當顧問。畢竟是外資大行,吸引力着實很大。不過,該公司亦反應迅速,一口氣從御泰方面找來兩件名咀,擴大資產管理部門,他們就是姚浩然(Patrick)和陳蓓敏(Kitty),據講為擔任該部門聯席董事職位。Kitty昨日更已在時富首天上班,Patrick稍後又會開工。雖然在角色上與Herbert(劉之英文名)一向所擔任的研究職位有所不同,但他們同為財經名咀,而且兩人同具備資產管理經驗,正好配合該公司發展資產管理業務的需要,皆因證券買賣相信已「無肉食」,幫客戶管理資產,賺管理費可能更有前途。
由於尚未履新或剛剛到位,他們兩人都不便隨便曝光,但聽聞加入新公司後,又再可以在各大小媒體露面,相信很快會以新職銜為投資者提供市場評論等意見。

Patrick加盟時富前為御泰資產管理聯席董事,與03年加盟御泰的Kitty並肩作戰已有一段時間,今次齊齊過檔,合作方面自然駕輕就熟。Patrick過去亦於匯富證券打工,做銷售部副總裁,相信他們兩人在金魚缸打滾少說也有十年八載,但原來他們亦於嘉洛證券出身,齊擔任分析員工作,想不到早已是好拍檔。

潄口水大戰一觸即發

在大西洋另一邊的美國,一場關乎好多人口腔衛生的爭奪戰即將爆發,這個就係輝瑞藥廠(Pfizer)消費性產品部門,究竟落晌邊間公司手上。《華爾街日報》指,英國葛蘭素史克(GlaxoSmithKline)和美國的高露潔棕欖(Cologate-Palmolive)好有機會在呢場爭奪戰裡面爭餐死。

現時輝瑞手頭上的消費性產品,大部分係2000年為咗得到依家好好賣的降膽固醇藥膽固清(Liptor),收購華納大藥廠(Warner-Lambert)嗰陣買返嚟嘅,而華納大藥廠最主要的產品係李斯德林漱口水同潔口片(Listerine)。雖然李斯德林個品牌好正,潔口片好好賣,問題係輝瑞無論在處方藥定非處方藥產品戰線上,都無牙膏或口腔護理產品去支援李斯德林,與其係咁,每年收嗰38億美元營業額,不如以140億美金左右,賣咗成條非處方藥物的生產線算數,換番些彈藥去做研究。但對葛蘭素史克同埋高露潔棕欖,李斯德林鹿死誰手,好決定佢哋在口腔護理產品的市場佔有率。在美國,本來高露潔同李斯德林係綑綁銷售,你買高露潔牙膏嗰陣順便買李斯德林係有3蚊美金折扣嘅,若可將李斯德林名正言順納入其中,咁高露潔棕欖在口腔護理市場可以講係玩晒。

而葛蘭素史克之所以對李斯德林食指大動,因為葛蘭素史克近年在口腔護理市場野心好大,除手上有牙醫好鍾意開俾病人,搞到味覺麻晒的消毒漱口水Corsodyl,仲買咗舒適達(Sensodyne)防敏感牙膏,如有埋李斯德林,同高露潔拗手瓜便能力大增,故葛蘭素都食指動。

私有化的重要考慮

昨天已有談及關於中信國金(183)的分析。公司復牌後,股價急升38%至4.8元,主要因為母公司低價注入中信銀行,明益上市公司股東。市場亦有傳聞指中信集團會私有化中信國金,禢中怡則認為機會不大。很簡單,要私有化時,有兩個重要需要考慮:是否對母公司有利,以及價格是否低殘。前者,如果需要私有化,根本無需考慮注入中信銀行。正如昨天所言,中信國金面對的問題是經常性收入停滯不前。香港銀行水浸,按揭息率日漸收窄,對於中信國金這類中小型銀行而言,面對的壓力亦不細。注入中信銀行,當然可以增加公司的增長動力。正如我們相信即使中銀以及工商銀行來香港上市,在香港上市的中銀香港(2388)以及工銀亞洲(349)亦不會被私有化,因為兩者的名字已反映出公司的市場定位。而中銀香港亦算是十分有效率的銀行,看不到精簡架構後可以帶來很大協同效應。

至於後者,私有化太平協和(438)便是最好的例子。大股東以每股0.65元的價錢,於沙士時私有化當時股價僅為0.43元的太平協和。集團在上海持有大量靚地,在南京西路亦投入了不少資金。私有化價格較當時的資產淨值2.188元已經有很大折讓,還未計最近上海樓價大升的資產升值。不計是次注資,中信國金的估值只是一般,私有化效益成疑問。

公司業務是否見底,管理層當然較行外人有更多訊息。昨日華潤宣布私有化華潤水泥(712),交易令人有點意外。公司在03年7月以介紹形式上市,除了發行可換股債券外亦沒有籌集任何資金,為何急需於上市兩年半內便將公司私有化呢?

水泥業務過去兩年面對不少壓力,除了受到宏調影響需求以及格價外,煤價以及工資上升亦影響毛利率。因此,純利大幅下滑亦是可以理解。

最近水泥業務已開始復甦,公司的盈利亦應會有所改善。在這時間宣布私有化,亦難免令人質疑當初分拆的決定。雖然私有化價格較現價以及早前的低位高出不少。但亦不要忘記集團的股價在剛上市的半年內亦高於私有化價格,而且在招股書中亦認為「水泥行業是中國具規備優厚盈利增長潛力的行業之一」。不過從另一角度看,由於公司規模亦不算大,加上每年的上市費用亦不低,這的確可為股東鬆綁。長遠而言對股東以及母公司亦可能是正面的做法。既然集資能力有限,以及母公司並不缺水,私有化總好過白白支付上市費用。

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so
    people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
    for only having one or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  18. I appreciate the useful information you provide in your article. I've bookmarked your blog and will return here frequently. I'd like to share an interesting topic with you; do you know what morse code translator is? Morse code is a method of representing letters and numbers with dots and dashes. Each letter and number is represented by a distinct series of dots and dashes that can be easily transmitted using a simple signalling device such as a flashlight.
