Daily Investment Update

Market commentary

	South Africa The JSE hit a fresh high on Friday, closing at 67 464.86 with sentiment bolstered by prospects of a $1.9 trillion US stimulus package and vaccine rollouts. At the closing bell, the All Share gained 1.34%.
	United States A rise in economy-sensitive cyclical sectors boosted Wall Street on Friday with financial, material, energy and industrial sectors doing the heavy-lifting. At 18h00, the Nasdaq was at 13 874.46 points.
	Europe European stocks ended the week lower as concerns over a possible rise in inflation overshadowed optimism around a vaccine-led economic recovery. At the close of business, Germany’s DAX gained 0.77%.
	Hong Kong The Hang Seng ended 0.16% firmer at 30 644.73 supported by the materials sector as investors welcomed encouraging data from the world’s largest economies that pointed to a global recovery.
	Japan Although the Nikkei registered a weekly gain, Japanese shares fell on profit-taking after robust gains in Fast Retailing and other market heavyweights boosted the index in previous sessions.
	Rand At 18h00 the rand had weakened 0.40%, trading at R14.63/$, R17.76/€ and R20.51/£.
	Precious metals While on track for a weekly decline underpinned by rising Treasury yields, bullion recovered from a seven-month low as the greenback weakened.
	Oil Oil prices slipped on Friday as energy firms in Texas geared up to restart oil and gas fields affected by cold weather and power outages. At 18h30, Brent crude lost 1.46%.

Recent Investment Ideas

Highlights

We believe BTI could consistently grow earnings over the long-term despite volume declines in the combustible segment.
We feel that medium-term earnings is likely to be supported by lower investments in NGP's as the product matures and improves profitability as it ramps up.
Regardless of a growth outlook that mirrors the broader staple market, the group is trading at a significant discount to staple counters.
On a forward PE basis, the group is trading at a 38.0% discount to its long-term average of 12.6 times and a 35.9% discount to its FactSet peers.
For more information about this counter, please contact your PSG Wealth adviser.

Highlights

Apple’s valuation has increased since our last report and seems stretched at current levels, trading at a premium to its peers and its historical average.
Although Apple has sound cash generation and a solid balance sheet, we expect it to come under pressure as global demand for iPhone and wearables weaken as markets become increasingly saturated.
As the installed base matures, we expect revenue from services to slow while revenue from other product divisions should normalise after the Covid-19 surge.
We maintain our underweight recommendation in the counter.
For more information about this counter, please contact your PSG Wealth adviser.

Highlights

The balance sheet of LVMH remains strong, which is essential to protect the equity value in the current environment.
The group is trading at a forward PE of approximately 25 times, which is 17.6% above its five-year average.
Although there is still some uncertainty pertaining to the pandemic, we believe the group is well-positioned for a reopening of the economy if the rollout of vaccines is successful.
As a result, we maintain our neutral view on the counter.
