Consommation
Une frénésie d’achats planétaire

Aux Etats-Unis, Thanksgiving marque traditionnellement le début du plus grand événement commercial de l’année: le «Black Friday». Mais ce n’est pas le seul moment où les consommateurs dépensent des milliards de dollars: trois jours plus tard, l’e-commerce a sa propre fête, le «Cyber Monday». La période pourrait se révéler particulièrement fructueuse pour Amazon, qui a officiellement lancé la «cybersemaine» dès le 19 novembre en proposant tous les jours des offres alléchantes. Avec le «Singles’ Day», qui se déroule le 11 novembre dans l’Empire du milieu, les groupes chinois de l’Internet comme Alibaba devancent les Américains aussi bien en termes de date que de volume. Entre-temps, le potentiel du commerce en ligne a également été identifié par de grandes chaînes comme Walmart et Target, qui proposent aussi leurs produits sur la Toile. Avec les Kick-In GOALs en souscription sur Alibaba, Amazon, eBay (symbole: KCWUDU) ainsi que Target, Walmart, Macy’s (symbole: KCWLDU), il est possible d’investir de façon partiellement protégée dans les géants internationaux du commerce. Outre des marges de sécurité élevées pouvant aller jusqu’à 50%, les produits offrent des perspectives de taux de rendement à deux chiffres.

En Chine, la dernière journée de folles promotions a recueilli un franc succès. Le Singles’ Day, première fête commerciale au monde, a battu des records. Au cours de ces 24 heures, le géant local Alibaba a écoulé, à lui seul, des marchandises pour un montant équivalent à 30,7 milliards de dollars US, soit 27% de plus que l’année précédente. Selon l’agence de presse Xinhua, rien que dans les deux premières minutes, le rival chinois d’Amazon a réalisé près de 1,5 milliard de dollars US de recettes. Ces résultats sont de bon augure pour le marathon d’achat américain qui approche. Il ne faut cependant pas s’attendre à des chiffres comparables. Selon des indications d’Adobe Digital Insights, l’année dernière, les ventes ont atteint 5 milliards de dollars US lors du Black Friday, auxquels se sont ajoutés 6,6 milliards de dollars US à l’occasion du Cyber Monday. Bien que d’ampleur légèrement moindre aux Etats-Unis qu’en Chine, ces journées d’achat sont cruciales pour les entreprises. Ainsi, Amazon a dégagé lors du Cyber Monday 2017 un chiffre d’affaires supérieur à celui de tous les autres jours de l’année.

Des chiffres d’eMarketer illustrent la domination d’Amazon. D’après les calculs de cet institut d’études de marché, le géant de l’e-commerce enregistre 49,1% de toutes les dépenses de vente au détail en ligne du pays (soit 5% du chiffre d’affaires total de la vente au détail). eBay arrive en deuxième position, mais loin derrière, avec une part de 6,6%. Dans les dix premiers figurent également des grands magasins traditionnels. Walmart est quatrième avec une part du gâteau de l’e-commerce américain de 3,7% et Macy’s huitième avec 1,2% (source : eMarketer, juillet 2018). Pour Walmart, numéro un mondial de la grande distribution, les affaires tournent bien même en dehors du Black Friday. Au troisième trimestre, le chiffre d’affaires du groupe a progressé de 1,4% par rapport à l’année précédente. Pour l’exercice 2018/2019 (31.01), l’entreprise a revu à la hausse ses attentes pour le résultat ajusté par action, le situant entre 4,75 et 4,85 dollars US (contre 4,65 et 4,80 dollars US précédemment). Même les prévisions concernant la croissance organique de l’activité américaine ont été relevées d’«environ» à «au moins» 3%.

Opportunités: deux nouveaux Kick-In GOALs offrent aux investisseurs la possibilité d’un positionnement prometteur sur le secteur du commerce de détail. Le Kick-In GOAL sur Alibaba, Amazon, eBay (symbole: KCWUDU) laisse entrevoir un coupon de 11,00% p.a. Le rendement maximal sera atteint, à condition qu’aucun des sous-jacents n’enfreigne dans les douze prochains mois sa barrière de 54% des valeurs initiales. L’ER Kick-In GOAL (symbole: KCWLDU) sur Target, Walmart et Macy’s affiche même des conditions encore plus intéressantes: la marge de sécurité atteint pas moins de 50%, le coupon 12,00% p.a. Avec la fonction «Early Redemption», la durée maximale est ramenée à douze mois.

Risques: les Worst of Kick-In GOALS ne bénéficient d’aucune protection du capital. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, l’un des sous-jacents atteint une seule fois la barrière respective («Kick-In Level») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, le remboursement à l’échéance par remboursement en espèces est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du trio (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution des sous-jacents.

Continental et Michelin
Plus que des pneus noirs

Les températures baissent, la pluie se transforme en neige. La carte météo suffit à s’en convaincre: pour les automobilistes, il est grand temps de penser aux pneus d’hiver. C’est donc le moment idéal pour étudier de plus près les fabricants de pneus. En Europe, les deux plus gros producteurs sont Michelin et Continental, le Français étant le leader incontesté du marché. Contrairement à Michelin, Continental n’est pas seulement spécialisée dans la gomme noire: l’entreprise se positionne également sur des technologies d’avenir comme l’e-mobilité et la conduite autonome. Chez Michelin, la priorité pour l’avenir est donnée non seulement à la performance énergétique mais aussi au confort acoustique. Les investisseurs peuvent désormais intégrer ces deux équipementiers automobiles innovants dans leur dépôt moyennant un seul placement. L’Early Redemption (ER) Worst of Kick-In GOAL en souscription (symbole: KCVYDU) sur Continental et Michelin offre des conditions appréciables: si la barrière de 59% des cours initiaux reste intacte, le produit générera au plus tard dans deux ans le rendement maximum de 7% par an.

Chez Continental, l’association entre le commerce de pneus et les nouvelles technologies automobiles a généré de la croissance ces dernières années. Bien sûr, 2018 sera une année de transition : en raison notamment du passage à de nouvelles prescriptions relatives aux gaz d’échappement, les prévisions ont été revues à la baisse à deux reprises. Mais le CEO Elmar Degenhart reste optimiste. «Compte tenu de la morosité du marché, l’augmentation de notre chiffre d’affaires et nos entrées de commandes pour l’électronique automobile sont des signes encourageants», a-t-il déclaré lors de la dernière présentation des résultats. Au cours des neuf premiers mois, le domaine le plus rentable a de nouveau été celui des pneus, avec une rentabilité opérationnelle de 16,3%. «En 2018, nous devrions pouvoir dépasser une nouvelle fois le niveau record des ventes atteint l’année dernière en Europe, surtout grâce à la performance élevée de nos pneus d’hiver», a assuré le directeur financier Wolfgang Schäfer (source: communiqué de presse de Continental, 08.11.2018). Pour UBS CIO WM Research, Continental est actuellement l’entreprise privilégiée dans ce secteur. L’avis des analystes concernant le concurrent Michelin est également sur «buy» (source: UBS CIO WM Research, 13.11.2018).

Opportunités: à la Bourse, Continental et Michelin sont actuellement à la recherche d’un plancher. Afin d’arriver au terme de manière profitable avec le nouveau Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole: KCVYDU), aucun des deux titres ne doit subir de retournement. Le produit donne aux sous-jacents une marge de près de 41% à la baisse sans mettre en péril l’opportunité maximale de gain de 7% p.a. La durée maximale de deux ans peut être réduite d’un an en raison de la fonction Early Redemption.

Risques: il n’existe aucune protection du capital pour le produit présenté. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, l’un des sous-jacents atteint une seule fois la barrière respective («Kick-In Level») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, et que la fonction de remboursement anticipé ne s’applique pas, le remboursement par amortissement en espèces à l’échéance est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du duo (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.

  • Topic 1: Consumption - The whole world is in a shopping frenzy
  • Topic 2: Continental & Michelin - More than just black tires

Consumption
The whole world is in a shopping frenzy

The largest shopping event of the year traditionally begins in the US on Thanksgiving. “Black Friday” is not the only day that consumers will be spending billions of dollars again; «Cyber Monday» takes place just three days later and is set to be a huge day for the e-commerce industry. Business could be particularly profitable for Amazon; the company officially kicked off “Cyber Week” on 19 November with new bargains appearing on its site every day. With “Singles› Day” taking place on November 11 in the Middle Kingdom, Chinese Internet companies such as Alibaba are ahead of the Americans – not only in terms of time, but also in terms of volume. Department stores such as Walmart and Target, which also offer their products online, have now also recognized the potential offered by e-commerce. With the Kick-In GOALs in subscription on Alibaba, Amazon and eBay (symbol: KCWUDU) as well as on Target, Walmart and Macy’s (symbol: KCWLDU), investors can invest in the international trading giants with partial protection. In addition to high risk buffers of up to 50%, the products also offer double-digit percentage return opportunities.

The recent discount battle in China was a complete success. The world’s largest shopping event, Singles› Day, was a huge event. Regional giant Alibaba alone sold goods worth the equivalent of USD 30.7 billion during the 24-hour shopping party – a figure which is up 27% on the previous year. The Xinhua news agency reported that Amazon’s Chinese rival generated almost USD 1.5 billion in the first two minutes alone. This could potentially be a good indicator for the upcoming shopping marathon in the US. However, we do not expect the sales figures to be as high. According to the information provided by Adobe Digital Insights, goods worth USD 5 billion were sold on Black Friday last year, with Cyber Monday generating a further USD 6.6 billion. Although these shopping events in the US are not as significant as those in China, this is still an important time for companies. For example, the sales volume recorded by Amazon on Cyber Monday 2017 was not matched on any other day in the year.

The figures provided by eMarketer show how dominant Amazon is. The market researcher has calculated that the e-commerce giant accounts for 49.1% of all online retail spending in the country and 5% of all retail sales. In second place and languishing quite far behind is eBay, with a share of 6.6%. However, bricks and mortar department stores are also among the top ten. Walmart ranks fourth with a 3.7% share of the US e-commerce cake and Macy’s is in eighth position with 1.2%. (Source: eMarketer, July 2018) The world’s largest retailer Walmart is also doing well outside of Black Friday. In the third quarter, group sales increased by 1.4% in comparison with the previous year. For the current 2018/19 financial year (January 31), the company raised its forecast for adjusted earnings per share to USD 4.75 to 4.85 (previously USD 4.65 to 4.80). The forecast for the US business’ organic growth was also raised from “around” to “at least” 3%.

Opportunities: Two new Kick-In GOALs provide investors with the opportunity to take up a promising position in the retail sector. The Kick-In GOAL on Alibaba, Amazon and eBay (symbol: KCWUDU) pays an annual coupon of 11%. The maximum return will be achieved if none of the underlyings fall below the barrier of 54% of their respective initial fixing values over the coming twelve months. The Early Redemption (ER) Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCWLDU) on Target, Walmart and Macy’s features even more attractive conditions, with a risk buffer of an impressive 50% and an annual coupon of 12%. Due to the early redemption function, the maximum term can be reduced to twelve months.

Risks: Kick-In GOALs do not have capital protection. If the underlyings equal or fall below the respective kick-in level (barrier) and the early redemption feature does not apply, the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

Continental & Michelin
More than just black tires

Temperatures are dropping and the rain is turning into snow – the weather forecast is highlighting that it is high time for car drivers to fit their winter tires. This is a perfect time to take a closer look at tire manufacturers. The two largest producers in Europe are Michelin and Continental, with the French company being the undisputed number one. Unlike Michelin, Continental does not just focus on tires – it is also involved in future technologies such as e-mobility and autonomous driving. Michelin, on the other hand, concentrates its efforts on designing the car tires of the future, with energy efficiency and, above all, a smooth drive being top priorities. Investors can now add the two innovative automotive suppliers to their portfolios with just one investment. The Early Redemption Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCVYDU) in subscription on Continental and Michelin comes with appealing conditions. If the barrier remains intact at 59% of the starting prices, the product will yield a maximum return of 7% p.a. in two years at the latest.

Continental’s mix of its tire business and new automotive technology has ensured growth in recent years. Although 2018 will be a year of transition – the forecast has already been reduced twice, partly due to the switch to the new emission regulations – CEO Elmar Degenhart is optimistic nevertheless. “Our sales growth and order intake for automotive electronics are a good sign in view of the weak market environment,” he said in response to the latest figures. The most profitable segment in the first nine months was once again the tire segment, with an operating return of 16.3%. “Thanks in part to the great performance of our winter tires, we expect to exceed last year’s record sales in Europe once again in 2018,” said CFO Wolfgang Schäfer confidently. (Source: Continental press release, November 8, 2018) UBS CIO WM Research currently considers Continental to be the preferred company in the sector; However, the analysts› verdict on competitor Michelin is also to “buy”. (Source: UBS WM Research, November 13, 2018)

Opportunities: Continental and Michelin are currently searching for ground on the stock market. For the Early Redemption Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCVYDU) to be profitable, the two underlyings don’t have to make a turnaround. The product allows the underlyings to have a downward margin of almost 41% before the brakes are put on the potential maximum return of 7% p.a. The maximum term of two years can be shortened by a year due to the early redemption function.

Risks: This product does not have capital protection. If the underlyings equal or fall below the respective kick-in level (barrier) and the early redemption feature does not apply, the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

Globale Börsen: Von Unsicherheiten geprägt

KeyInvest Blog

19. November 2018 – UBS Wochenkommentar Rück-/Ausblick

Globale Börsen: Von Unsicherheiten geprägt

Einer wahren Themenflut sehen sich Investoren derzeit ausgesetzt. Auf der einen Seite halten geopolitische Auseinandersetzungen wie der Haushaltsstreit in Italien sowie der Brexit die Börsen in Atem, auf der anderen Seite liefert die allmählich zu Ende gehende Berichtssaison weiterhin Impulse. Oben drauf kommt noch ein starker US-Dollar, der zuletzt gegenüber dem Euro auf den höchsten Stand seit Juni 2017 kletterte. Auch in Relation zum Schweizer Franken zog der Greenback wieder an und erreichte die Paritätsgrenze.

Italien provoziert…

Doch der Reihe nach: In europäischen Gefilden sind es vor allem die Unsicherheiten rund um den Brexit und Italien, welche die Anleger vergangene Woche in die Defensive drängten. Sowohl die Lage in Grossbritannien wie auch der Haushaltsstreit in Italien mit der EU-Kommission könnten weiter an Brisanz gewinnen. Premierministerin Theresa May hat mit ihrer Scheidungsvereinbarung Befürworter und Gegner des Brexit vergrault. Einige Minister nahmen gar ihren Hut. Derweil kam Rom bis zum Ablauf des Ultimatums am 13. November der EU bei ihrem eingeschlagenen Haushaltskurs nicht entgegen und hält weiterhin an ihren umstrittenen Wachstums- und Defizitzielen fest. Nun ist Brüssel am Zug. Die Europäische Union könnte ein Defizitverfahren einleiten und Italien mehr Haushaltsdisziplin diktieren, welche bei Nichtbeachtung finanzielle Sanktionen nach sich ziehen würden. Am Mittwoch, 21. November, wird die EU-Kommission ihre Einschätzungen dazu abgeben. Diesen Tag sollten sich Anleger rot im Kalender anstreichen.

…der Kapitalmarkt reagiert

Investoren reagierten dagegen sofort: Die Renditen italienischer Bonds mit einer Laufzeit von zehn Jahren legten am Tag des Ablaufs des Ultimatums um 0,09 Prozentpunkte auf 3,53 Prozent zu. Eines steht fest: Solange die Italien-Krise wie ein Damoklesschwert über der Euro-Zone hängt, dürfte die Schwäche der Gemeinschaftswährung anhalten. Auf der anderen Seite sorgt aber auch die US-Notenbank dafür, dass der Dollar an Stärke gewinnt. Auf der vergangenen Fed-Sitzung legten die Währungshüter bereits die Grundlage für eine weitere Zinserhöhung im Dezember. In ihrem Statement blieben Risiken wie die sich abkühlende Weltwirtschaft aussen vor, dagegen wurde das weiterhin boomende US-Wachstum erwähnt. Legt das Fed zum Jahressschluss tatsächlich noch einmal Hand an dem Leitsatz an, wäre dies bereits die vierte Erhöhung in diesem Jahr.

US-Konzerne werden vorsichtiger

Ein Blick auf die Unternehmensergebnisse unterstreicht die aktuelle Stärke der USA. Bis dato haben 90 Prozent der S&P 500-Unternehmen ihre Zahlen für das dritte Quartal präsentiert. 78 Prozent davon haben beim Ergebnis positiv überrascht. Das liegt deutlich über dem Fünf-Jahresdurchschnitt von 71 Prozent. Auch die Gewinnwachstumsrate fällt mit 25,2 Prozent für den S&P 500 deutlich höher aus, als zunächst angenommen. Per 30. September lag das geschätzte Plus für das dritte Quartal bei 19,1 Prozent. Sollten die Ergebnisse tatsächlich um ein Viertel zulegen, wäre dies das höchste Gewinnwachstum seit dem dritten Quartal 2010.
Auch wenn der Technologiesektor mit 92 Prozent die höchste Überraschungsquote innerhalb der elf Sektoren ausweist, ist die aktuelle Situation nicht ungetrübt. Rund um den Tech-Riesen Apple machen sich nämlich Gewinnwarnungen breit. So musste nun auch der iPhone-Zulieferer Lumentum seine Gewinn- und Umsatzziele einkassieren. Ob dies tatsächlich an Apple liegt, bleibt offen, allerdings nährt dies die Sorgen der Anleger, dass die Smartphones nicht mehr so gut ankommen. Die Aktie rutschte in Folge unter die 200er-Marke. Auch der Ausblick auf das vierte Quartal fällt verhaltender aus. Analysten erwarten im laufenden Schlussviertel ein Gewinnplus von „nur“ noch 14,2 Prozent und ein Umsatzwachstum von 6,7 Prozent.

Schnäppchenfieber

Auch in der neuen Woche wird das Silicon Valley im Fokus bleiben, allen voran Amazon. Beim E-Commerce-Riese beginnt am 19. November die „Cyber Monday“-Woche. Dieser Begriff bezeichnet den Online-Shoppingrausch, der in den USA in diesem Jahr am 26. November stattfinden wird. Laut Adobe Digital Insights war der Cyber Monday im vergangenen Jahr der umsatzstärkste Tag im E-Commerce in den USA. Insgesamt wurden 6,6 Milliarden US-Dollar online ausgegeben – 16,5 Prozent mehr als noch 2016. Darüber kann der chinesische Amazon-Rivale Alibaba aber nur schmunzeln. Dieser erwirtschaftete am sogenannten Single’s Day, das weltgrösste Online-Schnäppchen-Event findet immer am 11. November statt, mit umgerechnet 30,7 Milliarden US-Dollar einen neuen Umsatzrekord. Das waren 27 Prozent mehr als im Vorjahr.

Ob auch an den Börsen nach den jüngsten Korrekturen das „Schnäppchenfieber“ ausbrechen wird, bleibt noch offen. Entscheidend werden die weiteren politischen Entwicklungen sein. Die zentralen Themen in der neuen Woche sind neben dem Brexit und Italien auch die Entwicklungen im Zollstreit mit den USA. Nach Berichten der „Financial Times“ steht Präsident Donald Trump kurz vor der Entscheidung, importierte Autos und Autoteile mit Strafzöllen zu belegen. Dies hätte erhebliche Auswirkungen auf die europäischen Autobauer – und auf deren Börsenkurse. Der Sektor steht aufgrund der Unsicherheiten bereits seit Längerem unter Druck, der STOXX Europe 600 Automobiles & Parts-Index gab in diesem Jahr bereits um ein Fünftel nach.

Wichtige Daten

Neben einigen wichtigen volkswirtschaftlichen Terminen (siehe Tabelle) stehen auch noch vereinzelte Unternehmensergebnisse auf der Agenda. Besonders spannend wird es bei Sonova, die am 20. November ihre Halbjahreszahlen veröffentlichen werden. Auf dem letzten Investorentag Mitte Oktober erntete der Hörgerätespezialist bei der Vorstellung neuer Produkte und der künftigen Strategie nur wenig Beifall. Das Gros der Analysten bezweifelte nämlich, ob das Unternehmen mit der neuen Hörgeräteplattform Marvel tatsächlich Marktanteile gewinnen kann. Aktuell erwartet Sonova für das Gesamtjahr 2018/19 ein Plus beim Gesamtumsatz von zwei bis vier Prozent und beim EBITA mit einem Anstieg um sechs bis neun Prozent. Es wird nun interessant, wie die letzten sechs Monate gelaufen sind und ob Sonova seine Wachstumsziele halten kann.

Stürmische Zeiten

Der Nordwesten Europas erlebt gerade eine aussergewöhnlich turbulente Wetterphase. Das Sturmtief „Ylenia“ war kaum abgezogen, da traf der Orkan „Zeynep“ auf den alten Kontinent und sorgte auch in der Schweiz für kräftige Böen.

Schaukelbörse setzt sich fort

Nach sechs volatilen Wochen im neuen Jahr fragen sich Anleger zurecht: Wer übernimmt im Börsenjahr 2022 die Führung, der Bulle oder der Bär?

Nagelprobe Zinsen

In der vergangenen Woche waren die Leitsätze der Notenbanken das alles überlagernde Thema. Dass das Fed in diesem Jahr die Schrauben anziehen wird, ist bereits bekannt und brachte die Börsen in den vergangenen Wochen ordentlich ins Schwanken.

Wilder Ritt an den Börsen

Die Aktienmärkte geben den Anlegern derzeit kaum Zeit zum Durchatmen. Mit einem kräftigen Taucher starteten die Kurse in die Woche, darauf folgte in Hoffnung auf das Fed eine kräftige Erholung, um letztlich nach der Sitzung wieder abzutauchen.*

  • Thème 1: Norvège - Relance dans le grand Nord
  • Thème 2: General Motors / Ford - Les constructeurs automobiles présentent des résultats solides

Norvège
Relance dans le grand Nord

Le secteur pétrolier participe fortement à la reprise actuelle en Norvège. Dans le même temps, ce pays scandinave profite d’affaires florissantes dans l’industrie de la pêche. Globalement, selon les prévisions actuelles du Fonds monétaire international (FMI), le produit intérieur brut norvégien pourrait croître de plus de 2% en 2018, une première depuis 2012. L’ETT (symbole : ETLNO) sur le MSCI™ Daily TR Net Norway Index permet un positionnement diversifié sur le marché des actions de cette petite économie. Avec le PERLES (symbole : REUFIU) sur le Norway Fish Equity Basket, les investisseurs peuvent miser de manière ciblée sur le deuxième secteur d’exportation du pays.

Des fiords impressionnants, des glaciers gigantesques, des villages pittoresques et des villes modernes. C’est avec des attractions de ce type que la Norvège attire des millions de touristes chaque année. Pour les investisseurs également, ce pays du grand Nord a son charme. Jusqu’à présent en 2018, le MSCI™ Daily TR Net Norway Index affiche une hausse de 2,2%. La bourse d’Oslo se démarque ainsi du marché européen des actions dominé par des signes inquiétants.¹ La surperformance de la Norvège a été portée par l’industrie pétrolière. Equinor, la plus grande entreprise du pays, appartient à ce secteur. La multinationale active dans plus de 30 pays vient de publier ses résultats pour les neufs premiers mois de 2018. Le rapport intermédiaire montre comment la hausse des prix du pétrole durant cette période se répercute positivement sur le résultat. Avec plus de 13,4 milliards de dollars US, le résultat opérationnel de janvier à septembre est de 56% supérieur à la valeur de l’année précédente. S’agissant du cash-flow opérationnel, au bout de neuf mois, Equinor avait déjà dépassé, avec 15,5 milliards de dollars US, la valeur de l’année 2017 dans son ensemble. (Source : Rapport financier Equinor, 3e trimestre 2018)

Enfin, l’industrie norvégienne de la pêche a également réalisé d’excellentes affaires. Le deuxième secteur d’exportation le plus important du pays profite d’un comportement alimentaire en pleine évolution. En particulier le saumon d’élevage est apprécié par des consommateurs toujours plus nombreux. Rien qu’au mois d’août, la Norvège a exporté 100 000 tonnes de ce poisson à la chair rose typique. Un nouveau record pour le mois d’été. Au cours des huit premiers mois de l’année, les Scandinaves ont augmenté de 11% à 1,8 million de tonnes le volume de fruits de mer exportés. (Source : Norwegian Seafood Council communiqué de presse, 18.10.2018). Dans ce contexte, il n’est pas étonnant que l’action de Marine Harvest soit cotée à un niveau record.¹ D’autant plus que le plus grand éleveur de saumons du monde a dépassé tant en volume qu’en résultat les attentes au troisième trimestre. (Source : Thomson Reuters, revue de presse, 15.10.2018).

Opportunités: Equinor et Marine Harvest comptent parmi les poids lourds du MSCI Daily TR Net Norway Index. Outre le duo que nous venons de présenter, l’indice de référence comprend huit autres actions. Cet indicateur couvre ainsi, selon les indications du fournisseur d’indice MSCI, quelque 85M de la capitalisation boursière ajustée à flottance libre du pays scandinave. L’ETT (symbole : ETLNO) suit l’indice dans un rapport de 100:1. Typiquement pour ce type de structure de produit, il n’y a pas de commission de gestion.² Les dividendes des entreprises sous-jacentes sont réinvestis net dans l’indice. En juin 2017, UBS a lancé le PERLES (symbole : REUFIU) sur le Norway Fish Equity Basket. Entretemps, ce produit de participation libellé en couronne norvégienne est coté à 65% au-dessus du prix d’émission. Le panier comprend le numéro 1 de la branche Marine Harvest et six autres actions de pêcheries norvégiennes.

Risques: il n’existe aucune protection du capital pour les produits présentés. Une évolution négative de la valeur de base génère des pertes correspondantes pour l’ETT et le PERLES. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.

General Motors / Ford
Les constructeurs automobiles présentent des résultats solides

Actuellement, dans l’univers automobile, les véhicules tout terrain mènent la danse. Ceci ressort des immatriculations pour octobre aux Etats-Unis. Par exemple pour Ford : alors que les limousines ont enclenché la marche arrière, les SUV ont enregistré une croissance à deux chiffres des ventes, et la Série F a dépassé pour le huitième mois consécutif le seuil des 70 000 véhicules vendus. Chez General Motors (GM) également, les affaires sont florissantes grâce aux SUV. Les modèles haut de gamme ont permis au troisième trimestre un bond de 25% des bénéfices opérationnels. Les boursiers applaudissent : au cours des quatre dernières semaines, les deux actions ont progressé d’un pourcentage à deux chiffres.¹ Le nouveau Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCVNDU) sur le duo automobile s’en sort sans accélération de cours supplémentaire. En cas d’évolution latérale, le produit dispose d’un coupon de 10,00% p.a. ainsi que d’une marge de sécurité de 40%.

Si GM a gagné plus que prévu au troisième trimestre, le constructeur automobile a restreint ses objectifs annuels. Désormais, en 2018, l’extrémité supérieure de la fourchette de 5,80 à 6,20 dollars US devrait être atteinte pour le résultat consolidé avant impôts par actions. Pour que le moteur des bénéfices tourne à haut régime également à l’avenir, le groupe procède à des coupes budgétaires. 18 000 collaborateurs sur 50 000 en Amérique du Nord ont récemment reçu une offre d’indemnisation. Ford a également dépassé les prévisions du marché dans son dernier rapport intermédiaire. Si la société est encore en pleine transformation, celle-ci devrait bientôt s’avérer payante. Le responsable financier Bob Shanks a confirmé l’objectif d’une marge avant impôts de 8% lors de la présentation des résultats trimestriels. Toutefois, ceci ne se produira probablement pas d’ici 2020 comme annoncé. Par ailleurs, la société développe ses pistes en ce qui concerne la « voiture de demain ». Selon un rapport de presse, Ford négocie actuellement avec VW afin d’établir une collaboration pour le développement onéreux de la technique de conduite autonome et de l’e-voiture. Rien n’est décidé pour l’instant, mais le porte-parole de Ford a expliqué que l’accord prévu entre le groupe américain et VW comprend des négociations sur de possibles coopération dans toute une série de domaines. (Source : Thomson Reuters, revue de presse, mercredi 31 octobre 2018).

Opportunités: afin d’arriver au terme de manière profitable avec le Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCVNDU), une évolution latérale de Ford et GM sera suffisante. Le produit en souscription génère un coupon de 10.00% p.a. indépendamment de l’évolution du cours. En revanche, le remboursement du nominal est couplé aux sous-jacents. Aucune baisse n’est à craindre tant qu’aucune action n’ait atteint ou ne passe en-dessous de la barrière de 60% du niveau initial.

Risques: les Kick-In GOALS ne bénéficient d’aucune protection du capital. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, l’un des sous-jacents atteint une seule fois la barrière respective (« Kick-In Level ») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, l’amortissement par remboursement en espèces à l’échéance est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du duo (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.

Norway
Upswing in the far north

The oil sector has been the main driving force behind the current upswing being enjoyed in Norway. At the same time, the Scandinavian country is benefitting from the flourishing business of the fishing industry. According to the current forecasts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Norway’s gross domestic product in 2018 could on the whole grow by more than 2% for the first time since 2012. The ETT (symbol: ETLNO) on the MSCI™ Daily TR Net Norway Index allows investors to take up a diversified position on the equity market of this small economy. With the PERLES (symbol: REUFIU) on the Norway Fish Equity Basket, investors can focus on the country’s second largest export sector.

While Norway attracts millions of tourists every year with its breathtaking fjords, huge glaciers, picturesque villages and modern cities, the country in the far north is also proving attractive for investors. Over the past year, the MSCI™ Daily TR Net Norway Index has recorded positive growth of 2.2%. This sets the Oslo Stock Exchange apart from the European stock market, which is dominated by negative performances.¹ Norway’s outperformance was driven by the oil industry, which is home to Equinor, by far the largest company in the country. The energy multinational, which has operations in more than 30 countries, has just published its figures for the first nine months of 2018. Its quarterly report illustrates how the rise in oil prices during this period had a positive impact on earnings. Standing at USD 13.4 billion, operating earnings for the period from January to September were up 56% on the previous year. Equinor’s operating cash flow after nine months totaled USD 15.5 billion, which means that it has already surpassed the figure recorded in 2017 as a whole. (Source: Equinor Financial Report Q3 2018)

The Norwegian fishing industry has also been flourishing lately. The country’s second most important export sector is benefitting from changing dietary habits among the world’s population, with farm-raised salmon in particular appealing to the taste buds of an ever-increasing number of consumers. In August alone, Norway exported 100,000 tons of the typically pink fish – a new record for the summer month. In the first eight months of the year, the Scandinavians increased total seafood exports by 11% to 1.8 million tons. (Source: Norwegian Seafood Council press release, October 18, 2018) In light of this, it is not surprising that Marine Harvest’s share is trading at record levels.¹ Especially as the world’s largest salmon farmer exceeded expectations in the third quarter in terms of both volume and earnings. (Source: Thomson Reuters media report, October 15, 2018)

Opportunities: Equinor and Marine Harvest are among the heavyweights in the MSCI Daily TR Net Norway Index. In addition to the aforementioned duo, eight other shares are included in the benchmark. According to index provider MSCI, the benchmark thus covers around 85% of the free-float-adjusted market capitalization of the Scandinavian country. The ETT (symbol: ETLNO) tracks the index at a subscription ratio of 100:1. There are usually no ongoing management fees for this product structure.² The dividend payments made by the included companies are reinvested net in the index. In June 2017, UBS launched the PERLES (symbol: REUFIU) on the Norway Fish Equity Basket. The participation product denominated in Norwegian kroner is now trading at 65% above the issue price. The basket includes the industry leader Marine Harvest together with six other shares in Norwegian fisheries.

Risks: The aforementioned products do not have capital protection. Should the underlying assets deliver a negative performance, the ETT and PERLES will incur commensurate losses. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

The VSMI™ Index is calculated since 2005. It shows the volatility of the stocks within the SMI™ index. A portfolio which reacts only to changes in volatility instead of volatility itself is relevant for the calculation. Thereby, the VSMI™ methodology uses the squared volatility, known as variance, of the SMI options with remaining time to expiry of 30 days traded at the Eurex.

General Motors / Ford
Car manufacturers with strong figures

In the car world, off-road vehicles are currently all the rage. This can also be seen in the US registration figures for October. Let’s take Ford as an example – while sales of sedans seemed to be reversing out of the parking lot, SUVs recorded double-digit sales growth and over 70,000 F-Series vehicles were sold for the eighth month in a row. Business at General Motors (GM) is also flourishing thanks to SUVs. In the third quarter, the high-priced models caused operating profits to jump by 25%. Stock exchange speculators are clapping their hands with glee at the moment, as both shares have achieved double-digit percentage growth in the past four weeks.¹ The new Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCVNDU) on the two automotive companies does not require the growth in share prices to pick up any further. The product offers an annual coupon of 10% and a risk buffer of 40% should the prices move sideways.

Not only did GM record greater earnings than expected in the third quarter, but the car manufacturer also narrowed its annual targets. The upper end of the USD 5.80 to 6.20 range for adjusted pre-tax earnings per share is now expected to be achieved in 2018. To ensure that the Group can continue making such high profits in the future, cuts are being made, with 18,000 of the 50,000 employees in North America having recently received a severance offer. As revealed in Ford’s latest quarterly report, the car manufacturer has also outperformed market forecasts. The company is still in the midst of a corporate restructuring, but this should pay off soon. Chief Financial Officer Bob Shanks confirmed the pre-tax margin target of 8% when presenting the quarterly figures. However, this will probably not be possible by 2020 as was announced. In addition, the company is investigating the opportunities presented by “the car of the future”. According to a media report, Ford is currently in discussions with VW to work together on the costly development of autonomous driving technology and electric cars. Although nothing has yet been decided, a Ford spokesman stated that the US group’s letter of intent with VW included discussions on potential collaborations in a number of areas. (Source: Thomson Reuters media report, October 31, 2018).

Opportunities: In order to generate a profit with the Worst of Kick-In GOAL (Symbol: KCVNDU), the share prices of Ford and GM only need to trend sideways. The product in subscription pays an annual coupon of 10% regardless of price performance. The repayment of the nominal is, however, linked to the underlyings. If none of the shares fall level with or below the barrier of 60% of the initial fixings, investors will remain safe from losses.

Risks: Worst-of Kick-In GOALs do not have capital protection. If the underlyings of the Kick-In GOAL touch or fall below the respective Kick-In Level (barrier), the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

  • Thème 1: Titres industriels européens - Un secteur aux multiples facettes
  • Thème 2: Henkel / Beiersdorf / L’Oréal - Au pouls des consommateurs

Titres industriels européens
Un secteur aux multiples facettes

UBS CIO GWM estime que les facteurs d’insécurité géopolitiques sont les principaux responsables de la faiblesse actuelle de l’évolution sur les marchés d’actions de l’Union monétaire européenne (UME). Considérant l’avenir, les experts conseillent une pondération neutre au sein des pays de la zone euro. S’agissant de l’allocation sectorielle, les actions industrielles sont surpondérées. L’ETT (symbole : ETIND) sur le STOXX™ Europe 600 Industrial Goods & Services permet l’orientation correspondante. Ce produit Open End participe intégralement à l’évolution de l’indice des secteurs. En revanche, l’Early Redemption (ER) Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCUGDU) vise une évolution relativement stable d’Alstom, Siemens et thyssenkrupp. Tant qu’aucune des trois valeurs industrielles n’atteindra ou ne passera en-dessous de la barrière de 59% des cours initiaux, les investisseurs toucheront un rendement maximal de 7.00% p.a. à l’échéance.

Bert Jansen, stratège chez UBS CIO GWM, constate que le dynamisme sectoriel a toujours, par le passé, été le principal moteur des marchés d’actions de la zone euro. Il aurait été plus important que les facteurs nationaux. Bert Jansen souligne que l’Italie fait exception à cette règle. A en croire le stratège, le marché d’actions de ce pays du sud de l’Europe est fortement orienté sur le secteur financier. En conséquence, le retour à une discipline budgétaire relativement laxiste pèse sur les cours. Dans la mesure où, désormais, beaucoup de l’ambiance négative a été intégré dans les cours, l’Italie se voit pondérer de manière neutre, tout comme les autres membres de l’euro dans l’allocation des pays. S’agissant des secteurs CIP GWM maintient pour la zone euro un mélange équilibré entre les secteurs cycliques et non cycliques. Les secteurs de l’énergie et de l’industrie sont surpondérés. (Source : UBS CIO GWM, UBS House View Weekly, Regional View Europe, 29.10.2018)

Bien naturellement, le secteur de l’industrie est particulièrement exposé au conflit commercial, facteur d’insécurité central dans l’année boursière 2018. Cela ne surprend donc pas que l’indice STOXX™ Europe 600 Industrial Goods & Services ait subi la vague de ventes en octobre. En revanche, fondamentalement, le secteur est encore sur le cours de la croissance. En dépit d’une tendance faiblissante, l’indice des directeurs d’achat établi par Markit par exemple s’est maintenu au-dessus du seuil d’expansion de 50 pour l’industrie en septembre. Outre la conjoncture mondiale solide, des mégatendances telles que la robotique et l’automatisation, l’efficience énergétique ou l’augmentation du trafic aérien devraient avantager le secteur.

Opportunités: avec l’Exchange Traded Tracker (ETT) (symbole : ETIND), les investisseurs peuvent se positionner de manière diversifiée. L’indice STOXX™ Europe 600 Industrial Goods & Services sous-jacent contient actuellement 100 entreprises. Pour la pondération, Siemens est en tête. Outre le groupe allemand, on trouve aussi Alstom sur la liste des « Most-Preferred » de CIO GWM pour les actions européennes. Avec thyssenkrupp, le duo constitue la base d’un nouveau ER Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCUGDU). Les investisseurs peuvent compter sur un coupon ferme de 7.00% p.a. pour cette émission. L’opportunité de rendement est couplée à une marge de sécurité de 41%. Avec la fonction Early Redemption, les sous-jacents seront examinés pour la première fois le 14 novembre 2019. Si à cette date ou à l’un des autres jours d’observation trimestriels fixés le trio atteint ou dépasse la cours initial, les investisseurs se verront rembourser le nominal et le coupon correspondant par anticipation.

Risques: il n’existe aucune protection du capital pour les produits présentés. Une évolution négative de la valeur de base génère des pertes correspondantes pour l’ETT. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, un des sous-jacents du Worst of Kick-In GOAL atteint une seule fois sa barrière respective («Kick-In Level») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, et que la fonction de remboursement anticipé ne s’applique pas, le montant remboursé en espèces à maturité par amortissement est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du trio (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.

Henkel / Beiersdorf / L’Oréal
Au pouls des consommateurs

Quelques semaines à peine avant les ventes de Noël, les consommateurs du monde entier affichent des envies d’achat. Aux Etats-Unis, le moral des consommateurs a même atteint récemment son niveau le plus haut depuis le changement de siècle. Les indicateurs actuels devraient parfaitement convenir à Henkel, Beiersdorf et L’Oréal. UBS réunit ces trois fabricants renommés de biens de consommation comme sous-jacents pour une nouvelle émission. Le Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCUDDU) est doté d’un coupon de 6.00% p.a., alors que les barrières sont fixées à 60% des cours initiaux.

Les récents résultats de l’Oréal montrent qu’actuellement l’Asie est tout à fait en mode achat. Au deuxième trimestre 2018, le fabricant français de cosmétiques a enregistré une croissance similaire des chiffres d’affaires de 7.5%. L’entreprise a ainsi dépassé les attentes moyennes des analystes. En Asie, la demande a porté surtout sur des produits pour la peau, par exemple des crèmes anti-âge. Selon Jean-Paul Agon, CEO, le groupe connaît une rapide croissance, en particulier en Chine. Au Royaume de Milieu, le boom des produits de luxe se poursuit. L’Oréal est représenté dans cet important segment, notamment avec les produits de maquillage d’Yves Saint Laurent.

Le même jour que le Français, Beiersdorf a publié son rapport intermédiaire. Le groupe cosmétique a augmenté son chiffre d’affaires organique de 6% au cours des neuf premiers mois de l’année. Pour l’Allemand du nord également, le segment du luxe a été florissant, les chiffres de la marque La Prairie ont connu une poussée de 46,7% à la hausse. De plus, Beiersdorf a connu une nette croissance dans le secteur des adhésifs de la marque tesa. (Sources: Thomson Reuters, rapports de presse, 30.10.2018) Les produits adhésifs et d’étanchement font également partie des compétences clé de Henkel. En outre, cette entreprise du DAX™ est aussi active dans le domaine des soins corporels ainsi que des produits de lessive et de nettoyage. Les investisseurs découvriront le 15 novembre l’évolution des affaires de Henkel.

Opportunités: une évolution de cours globalement stable pour Henkel, Beiersdorf et L’Oréal suffit pour que le calcul d’investissement du Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCUDDU) fonctionne. Il est déterminant qu’aucune action du trio ne tombe au niveau de la barrière (basse) de 60% du cours initial ou ne passe en-dessous. Dans la mesure où le coupon de 6.00% p.a. sera versé quelle que soit la situation, à l’échéance, le rendement maximum sera alors atteint. Nous attirons votre attention sur le fait que l’émettrice dispose d’un droit de résiliation. Si elle en fait usage à l’une des dates prévues à cet effet, outre le nominal, le coupon au pro rata sera remboursé par anticipation.

Risques: les Worst of Kick-In GOALS ne bénéficient d’aucune protection du capital. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, l’un des sous-jacents atteint une seule fois la barrière respective («Kick-In Level») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, et que la fonction de Callable ne s’applique pas, le remboursement à l’échéance par remboursement en espèces est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du trio (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution des sous-jacents.

  • Topic 2: Henkel/Beiersdorf/L’Oréal - Staying in step with consumers

European industrials
A multifaceted sector

UBS CIO GWM identifies the geopolitical uncertainty factors mainly responsible for the current weak performance of the stock markets in the European Monetary Union (EMU). Looking to the future, experts recommend a neutral weighting within the eurozone countries. Industrial equities are overweight in terms of sector allocation. The ETT (symbol: ETIND) on the STOXX™ Europe 600 Industrial Goods & Services Index allows for a corresponding weighting, as the open end product tracks the performance of the industry benchmark. In contrast, the Early Redemption (ER) Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCUGDU) is geared towards the Alstom, Siemens and thyssenkrupp equities delivering a relatively stable performance. Provided none of the industrials touch or fall below the barrier of 59% of their respective initial prices, investors will receive a maximum return of 7% upon maturity.

Bert Jansen, Strategist at UBS CIO GWM, notes that sector momentum has always been the main driver for eurozone equity markets in the past. He attests that it has always been more important than country-specific factors. According to Jansen, however, an exception to this rule is Italy, as the equity market in the southern European country is strongly geared to the financial sector. The country’s rather lax budgetary discipline is negatively impacting share prices accordingly. Since a large part of the negative sentiment is now likely to be priced in, Italy – like other EU members – will receive a neutral weighting in the country allocation. In terms of sectors, CIO GWM is pursuing a largely balanced mix of cyclical and non-cyclical sectors for the eurozone. An overweight is being maintained in the energy and industry sectors. (Source: UBS CIO GWM, UBS House View Weekly, Regional View Europe, October 29, 2018)

Naturally, the second sector has been particularly exposed to the trade dispute that has prevailed as one of the main factors for market uncertainty in 2018. It is therefore not surprising that the STOXX™ Europe 600 Industrial Goods & Services Index was included in the wave of sales in October. Fundamentally, however, the sector continues to grow. Despite a downward trend, the Purchasing Managers› Index for industry calculated by Markit, for example, remained above the expansionary threshold of 50 in September. In addition to the robust global economy, megatrends such as robotics and automation, energy efficiency and growing air traffic should play into the hands of the sector.

Opportunities: The Exchange Traded Tracker (ETT) (symbol: ETIND) allows investors to diversify their positions. The underlying STOXX™ Europe 600 Industrial Goods & Services Index currently comprises 100 companies. In terms of weighting, Siemens leads the way. Besides the German group, Alstom is also on CIO GWM’s current most preferred list for European industrials. Together with thyssenkrupp, the duo forms the basis for a new ER Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCUGDU). Investors can expect a fixed coupon payment of 7% p.a. with this issue. This return opportunity comes with a 41% safety buffer. As part of the early redemption function, the underlyings will be put to the test for the first time on November 14, 2019. Should the three shares close at or above their respective initial prices on this date or one of the other quarterly observation days, investors will receive the nominal amount plus the pro rata coupon early.

Risks: The aforementioned products do not have capital protection. Should the underlying assets deliver a negative performance, the ETT will incur commensurate losses. If the underlyings of the Kick-In GOAL touch or fall below the respective Kick-In Level (barrier) and the early redemption feature does not apply, the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

The VSMI™ Index is calculated since 2005. It shows the volatility of the stocks within the SMI™ index. A portfolio which reacts only to changes in volatility instead of volatility itself is relevant for the calculation. Thereby, the VSMI™ methodology uses the squared volatility, known as variance, of the SMI options with remaining time to expiry of 30 days traded at the Eurex.

Henkel/Beiersdorf/L’Oréal
Staying in step with consumers

With just a few weeks to go before Christmas, consumers around the globe are in a spending mood – in the US, consumer sentiment has recently reached its highest level since the turn of the millennium. The current indicators are likely to delight Henkel, Beiersdorf and L’Oréal. UBS is using the shares of the three leading consumer goods manufacturers as the underlyings for a new issue. The Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCUDDU) has a 6% annual coupon, while the barriers are set at 60% of each of the initial share prices.

The latest figures from L’Oréal show that consumers in Asia are also really in the mood to buy. In the second quarter of 2018, the French cosmetics manufacturer recorded sales growth of 7.5% on a comparable basis, which resulted in the company exceeding the average analysts› expectations. In Asia, demand was particularly strong for skincare products such as anti-aging creams. According to CEO Jean-Paul Agon, the group is growing rapidly, especially in China where the boom in luxury products persists. In this key segment, L’Oréal is represented by Yves Saint Laurent’s make-up products, among other items.

Beiersdorf published its quarterly figures on the same day as the French company. The cosmetics group increased sales organically 6% over the first nine months of 2018. The North Germans also enjoyed flourishing growth in the luxury segment, with sales of the La Prairie brand skyrocketing by 46.7%. Beiersdorf also recorded significant growth in the adhesives segment with the Tesa brand. (Source: Thomson Reuters media reports, October 30, 2018) Adhesives and sealants are also among Henkel’s core competencies. The DAX™ company is also active in the body care segment, as well as in detergents and cleaning agents. On November 15, investors can find out how Henkel has performed recently.

Opportunities: Should the Henkel, Beiersdorf and L’Oréal share prices largely remain stable, this should prove sufficient for the investment in the Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCUDDU) to pay off. All that is required is that none of the three shares touch or fall below the low barrier of 60% of the respective initial prices. Since the annual coupon of 6% is paid out in any case, the corresponding maximum return would then be achieved upon maturity. Please note that the issuer has a call option. If it makes use of this call option on one of the dates provided for this purpose, the pro rata coupon will be repaid early in addition to the nominal value.

Risks: Worst-of Kick-In GOALs do not have capital protection. If the underlyings of the Kick-In GOAL touch or fall below the respective Kick-In Level (barrier) and the callable feature does not apply, the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

  • Thème 1: US-Information Technology - L’heure de vérité
  • Thème 2: Métaux industriels - Un trio d’acier

US-Information Technology
L’heure de vérité

Traduction du 1 Novembre 2018: La saison sous revue bat son plein à Wall Street. Hier, le rapport intermédiaire d’Apple (après la clôture boursière US) constitue le paroxysme du flux de chiffres courant. Même si les résultats déjà disponibles pour le secteur technologique US ont pour la plupart dépassé les attentes, les cours ont récemment subi des pressions. Par rapport aux sommets absolus atteints en début de mois, l’indice S&P 500™ Information Technology a cédé 10.9%.¹ Les investisseurs qui voient dans ce recul une opportunité d’entrer peuvent choisir un ETT (symbole : ETINFU). Ce produit de participation reproduit l’indice S&P 500™ Information Technology sans limitation de durée et sans commissions de gestion². L’Early Redemption (ER) Worst of Kick-In GOAL sur Alphabet, Microsoft et Apple offre une alternative à l’investissement 1:1 dans le secteur US IT. Le produit en souscription est doté d’un coupon de 9,50% p.a. Les barrières sont basses, 60% du cours initial du trio sectoriel.

Peu de temps après que la cloche a sonné ce soir la fin de l’activité à Wall Street, un communiqué d’Apple passera dans les téléscripteurs. Le plus grand groupe boursier du monde publiera ses résultats du quatrième trimestre de l’exercice 2017/18 (au 30 septembre). De plus, la direction réunie autour du CEO Tim Cook tiendra dès 22h00 (Europe centrale) une téléconférence où elle prendra position de manière détaillée sur la récente marche des affaires et fera connaître ses prévisions pour l’important trimestre de Noël. Ne serait-ce qu’à cause de la taille du fabricant d’iPhones, le rapport intermédiaire est d’une importance extrême pour Wall Street.

Selon Factset, les bénéfices présentés jusqu’à présent par les entreprises informatiques étaient en moyenne supérieurs de 10% aux prévisions moyennes des analystes. La technologie de l’information se classe donc, parmi tous les secteurs US, deuxième en ce qui concerne l’écart vers le haut. Lors de la semaine d’échanges qui s’est achevée le 26 octobre, le groupe a relevé la croissance des bénéfices prévue pour le troisième trimestre de 17.0 à 21.9%. Microsoft et Intel ont fortement influencé cette révision à la hausse. Le résultat par action annoncé par les deux groupes pour le trimestre écoulé était de 18.8 respectivement 21.7% supérieur aux attentes. (Source : Factest, « Earnings Insight », 26.10.2018)

Opportunités: l’Exchange Traded Tracker (ETT) (symbole : ETINFU) reproduit l’indice S&P 500™ Information Technology composé de 65 actions au total de manière passive. Avec ce produit liquide, les investisseurs peuvent miser sur un rebond de l’indice sectoriel. Une stratégie « Buy-and-Hold » à plus long terme est également possible. Avec Apple et Microsoft, Alphabet fonctionne comme sous-jacent pour un nouveau ER Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCTKDU). Dans le cadre d’une réforme de l’indice, la mère de Google a récemment été retirée du secteur IT et attribuée au domaine « Communication Services ». Ceci ne modifie pas les opportunités du produit en souscription : tant qu’aucun sous-jacent n’atteint ou ne passe en-dessous de la barrière de 60%, l’investissement produira un rendement de 9.50% p.a. Avec la fonction «Early Redemption», un remboursement anticipé avec coupon au pro rata est possible. Condition : Alphabet, Apple et Microsoft atteignent ou dépassent ensemble le cours initial à l’un des jours d’observation trimestriel (première date : 7.11.2019)

Risques: il n’existe aucune protection du capital pour les produits présentés. Une évolution négative de la valeur de base génère des pertes correspondantes pour l’ETT. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, l’un des sous-jacents du Worst of Kick-In GOAL atteint une seule fois la barrière respective («Kick-In Level») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, et si de plus la fonction Early Redemtion ne s’applique pas, le remboursement par amortissement en espèces à l’échéance est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du trio (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.

Métaux industriels
Un trio d’acier

Si, en tant que tout, le marchés des matières premières a connu un développement stable en 2018 jusqu’à ce jour, les signes précurseurs d’alerte dominent pour les métaux industriels. En particulier les inquiétudes au sujet d’un ralentissement conjoncturel, qui vont de pair avec le renforcement du conflit commercial pèsent sur le segment. Même si la demande de métal en soi reste robuste, les actions du secteur sont sous pression. Avec US Steel, ArcelorMittal et Rio Tinto, UBS réunit désormais trois représentants du secteur pour un Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCTUDU). Nonobstant l’évolution à venir des cours, le produit verse un coupon de 11.00% p.a. Cette opportunité est couplée à une marge de sécurité de 46%.

Le 16 octobre, la Worldsteel Association a publié ses perspectives de marché à court terme. L’association de banque y prévoit que la demande mondiale d’acier pour l’année en cours augmentera de 3.9% à 1 657,9 millions de tonnes. En 2019, le marché devrait progresser de 1.4 tonnes supplémentaires à 1 681.2 millions de tonnes. De manière peu surprenante, les perspectives prévoient la plus forte hausse de la demande pour 2018 dans les marchés émergents. La hausse attendue s’établit à 5.0% dans la région d’Asie-Océanie, plus forte demandeuse en raison des acquisitions de la Chine. Toutefois, la Worldsteel Association souligne aussi l’augmentation des risques. Outre les tensions commerciales renforcées, les experts évoquent aussi la volatilité des cours de change. (Source : Worldsteel Association, communiqué de presse, 16 octobre 2018)

Et ce sont ces facteurs qui freinent le secteur sur les places boursières. Exemple ArcelorMittal : le plus grand producteur mondial d’acier a perdu sur un mois 20% de sa capitalisation. Dans ce contexte, les analystes de Thomson Reuters prévoient une hausse de 22% des bénéfices du groupe pour l’année courante. On devrait savoir le 1er novembre (après clôture de la rédaction) si et dans quelle mesure cette prévision est réaliste. C’est à cette date qu’ArcelorMittal présentera ses résultats pour le troisième trimestre. Le vendredi 2 novembre, US Steel, un autre représentant important du secteur, publiera son rapport intermédiaire.

Opportunités: outre les deux producteurs d’acier, Rio Tinto a été sélectionné comme sous-jacent pour un nouveau Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbole : KCTUDU). Le groupe d’exploitation minière fournit notamment du minerai de fer, une matière première essentielle à la fabrication de l’acier. Tant qu’aucune des trois actions n’atteindra ou ne passeras en-dessous de la barrière (basse) de 54% des cours initiaux, le produit structuré produira à l’échéance le rendement maximal correspondant au coupon de 11% p.a. Important : l’émetteur dispose d’un droit de résiliation. S’il utilise la fonction Callable à l’une des deux dates possibles, les propriétaires du produit se verront rembourser le nominal avec le coupon au pro rata par anticipation.

Risques: les Worst of Kick-In GOALS ne bénéficient d’aucune protection du capital. Si, pendant la durée de l’investissement, l’un des sous-jacents atteint une seule fois la barrière respective (« Kick-In Level ») ou est inférieur à celle-ci, et que la fonction de Callable ne s’applique pas, le remboursement à l’échéance par remboursement en espèces est basé sur la performance la plus faible (base Strike) du quatuor (au maximum toutefois à la valeur nominale majorée du coupon). Dans un tel cas, des pertes sont probables. De plus, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution des sous-jacents.

US Information Technology
The Moment of Truth

The reporting season on Wall Street is in full swing. Quarterly results from Apple out this Thursday (after the US market closes) mark the high point of the current slew of numbers. Even though the figures we have already seen from the US tech sector have mostly been ahead of expectations, prices have been under pressure recently. The S&P 500™ Information Technology Index has fallen by 10.9% from all its all-time high at the start of the month.1 Investors who see this setback as a chance to get on board can use an ETT (symbol: ETINFU). The participation product replicates the S&P 500™ Information Technology Index with no time limitation and no management fees.2 An alternative to a 1:1 investment in the US IT sector is the Early Redemption (ER) Worst of Kick-In GOAL on Alphabet, Microsoft and Apple. The subscription product has a 9.5% annual coupon. The barriers are set at a low 60% of the initial prices of the sector trio.

Soon after the closing bell on Wall Street, on Thursday evening (after editorial deadline) a release from Apple will come over the ticker. The world’s largest listed company is announcing its results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2017/2018 (to 30 September). CEO Tim Cook and his management team will also be holding a conference call at 10:00pm CET to talk in detail about recent business performance and the outlook for the key Christmas quarter. The sheer size alone of the iPhone manufacturer means the quarterly numbers are hugely important for Wall Street.

According to FactSet, profit announcements from IT companies in the earnings season so far have in general been one-tenth ahead of average analyst expectations. Of all sectors in the US, information technology has shown the second-largest beats. In the trading week to 26 October, consensus forecast earnings growth for the third quarter rose from 17.0% to 21.9%. Microsoft and Intel had a major influence on the upgrade. The two groups reported earnings per share for the past quarter 18.8% and 21.7% ahead of expectations respectively. (Source: FactSet, Earnings Insight, 26 October 2018.)

Opportunities: The exchange traded tracker (ETT) (symbol: ETINFU) passively replicates the 65 stocks in the S&P 500™ Information Technology Index. Investors can use the liquid product to anticipate a rebound in the sector benchmark. A longer-term buy and hold strategy is also possible. Alphabet, along with Apple and Microsoft, is one of the underlyings for a new ER Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCTKDU). An index reshuffle recently removed the Google parent company from the IT sector and put it in communication services. This has no impact on the opportunities for the subscription product: as long as none of the underlyings touch or fall below the 60% barrier, the investment ends with an annual return of 9.50%. The early redemption feature means early repayment with pro rata coupon is possible. This is conditional on all of Alphabet, Apple and Microsoft closing at or above the starting level on one of the quarterly observation days (first date: 7 November 2019).

Risks: The aforementioned products do not have capital protection. Should the underlying assets deliver a negative performance; the ETT will incur commensurate losses. If the underlyings on the Kick-In GOAL touch or fall below the respective Kick-In Level (barrier) and the early redemption feature does not apply, the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

The VSMI™ Index is calculated since 2005. It shows the volatility of the stocks within the SMI™ index. A portfolio which reacts only to changes in volatility instead of volatility itself is relevant for the calculation. Thereby, the VSMI™ methodology uses the squared volatility, known as variance, of the SMI options with remaining time to expiry of 30 days traded at the Eurex.

Industrial metals
A steely trio

The commodity market overall has been stable year to date, but industrial metals stocks are mostly down. The segment has been hit by concerns about an economic slowdown as a result of the burgeoning trade dispute. Although actual demand for metal continues to be robust, stocks in the sector are under pressure. UBS has combined three sector representatives (US Steel, ArcelorMittal and Rio Tinto) in a Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCTUDU). The product pays an annual coupon of 11.00% regardless of price performance. This opportunity comes with a 46% safety buffer.

On 16 October, the World Steel Association published its short-term market outlook. They assume that global demand for steel will rise by 3.9% to 1,657.9 million tonnes this year. In 2019, the market will grow a further 1.4% to 1,681.2 million tonnes. Not surprisingly, the 2018 forecast sees the largest increase in demand in emerging markets. Growth in Asia-Oceania, the largest market for sales due to Chinese demand, is expected to be 5.0%. However, the association also points out that risks have risen too, mentioning rising trade tensions and volatile exchange rates. (Source: World Steel Association, press release, 16 October 2018)

These are precisely the factors holding the sector back on the stock market. Take ArcelorMittal: the world’s largest steel producer lost 20% of its capitalization in a month. According to Thomson Reuters, analysts expect the group to boost profit by 22% this year. Whether and to what extent this is realistic will become clearer on 1 November (after our publication deadline). That is when the company releases its third quarter figures. On Friday 2 November US Steel, another major sector player, announces its quarterly earnings.

Opportunities: The two steel producers and Rio Tinto have been selected as the underlyings for a new Callable Worst of Kick-In GOAL (symbol: KCTUDU). One of the miner’s products is iron ore, a key input for making steel. Provided none of the three stocks touch or fall below the barrier at a low 54% of the initial prices, the structured product pays a maximal return in line with the 11.00% annual coupon on maturity. Important: The issuer has a call option. If it exercises the callable function on one of two possible dates, holders receive nominal plus the pro rata coupon.

Risks: Kick-In GOALs do not have capital protection. If the underlyings touch or fall below the respective Kick-In Level (barrier) and the callable feature does not apply, the amount repaid on the maturity date is reflecting the worst performance of the underlyings (but not more than notional value plus coupon). In this case, it is likely that losses will be incurred. Investors in structured products are also exposed to issuer risk, which means that the capital invested may be lost if UBS AG becomes insolvent, regardless of the performance of the underlying.

Stratégie Low Vola
En finir avec les montagnes russes

Guerre commerciale, chaos entraîné par le Brexit et aussi projet de budget italien contesté, trois facteurs qui mènent la vie dure aux investisseurs. Dans le même temps, ils ont fait augmenter fortement la fébrilité sur les marchés d’actions mondiaux. Le ressenti collectif s’exprime dans les volatilités implicites. L’écart de fluctuation des cours intégré dans les options a fortement augmenté au début du quatrième trimestre (cf. graphique à droite). Les stratégies de placement visant des actions avec une volatilité relativement faible ont une fois de plus exploité leurs atouts dans ce contexte. Ceci vaut aussi pour l’indice K Switzerland Low Volatility NTR. Jusqu’à présent, au cours de l’année, cette valeur de base a encore développé sa surperformance de long terme par rapport au SMI™.¹ Avec un PERLES (symbole : SOLVZU), les investisseurs peuvent ajouter cet indice innovant dans leur portefeuille.

Actuellement, l’évolution sur le marché suisse des actions ressemble tout à fait à des montagnes russes. Entre juillet et septembre 2018, la valeur du SMI™ a progressé de 5.6 %. L’indice directeur indigène a ainsi enregistré son trimestre le plus fort depuis les trois premiers mois de 2013. Mais une percée vers le haut n’a pas été possible. Bien plus, au cours des dernières semaines, le SMI™ s’est fortement retourné à la baisse. Juste avant la fin du mois, le bilan d’octobre affichait une baisse de 3,5 %. ¹ Sur le long terme, on considère que de tels mouvements de hausse et de baisse pèsent sur les rendements. Des travaux scientifiques ont révélé que les portefeuilles comportant des titres relativement moins fluctuants produisent de meilleurs résultats sur la durée que le marché en général. Ils s’opposent donc à la théorie classique des marchés de capitaux. Cette théorie admet que le produit d’un portefeuille diversifié est d’autant plus important que l’investisseur accepte de prendre des risques. Dès 1972, Robert Haugen et James Heins parlaient de la « Low Volatility Anomaly » ou anomalie de faible volatilité. 20 ans après, les scientifiques américains Eugene Farma et Kenneth French publiaient un modèle à trois facteurs. Parmi les caractéristiques stimulant le rendement qui y sont esquissées, on trouve une faible volatilité.

C’est précisément sur ce point que l’indice Switzerland Low Volatility mise. Cet indice est à la base d’une méthode Smart Beta. Cela signifie que la composition de l’indice s’éloigne de la pondération traditionnelle en fonction de la capitalisation de marché des actions qu’il contient. Au contraire, le concept mise sur une stratégie de faible volatilité sur le marché suisse des actions. Dans ce contexte, les 300 entreprises ayant la capitalisation la plus importante sont candidates à l’admission. Dans cet univers, chaque mois, on choisit les 20 actions ayant la plus faible marge de volatilité des cours. La volatilité inversée est déterminante pour la pondération. Cela signifie que la part d’une action est d’autant plus importante que ses cours dépassent ceux des autres membres de l’indice. Pour éviter l’accumulation des risques, la pondération d’une composante est limitée à 10 % au maximum.
Dans la composition actuelle de l’indice K Switzerland Low Volatility, on retrouve toute la fourchette du marché national des actions. Outre neuf membres du SMI™, onze entreprises de la deuxième et de la troisième série sont comprises dans l’indice. On y trouve aussi plusieurs actions pour lesquelles les récentes turbulences du marché n’ont pas eu d’importantes conséquences. Par exemple, Helvetia Holding, PSP Swiss Property et Lindt & Sprüngli ont progressé en valeur jusqu’à présent cette année.¹

Opportunités: le PERLES coté au SIX (symbole : SOLVZU) permet un positionnement diversifié sur les 20 titres les moins fluctuants du marché suisse des actions. Le produit reproduit l’indice K Switzerland Low Volatility pour une commission de gestion de 1.00 % p.a. D’éventuels dividendes versés par les entreprises qu’il contient sont réinvestis net dans le sous-jacent. Si la durée est limitée à sept ans au total, elle peut être prolongée de la même durée par la suite.

Risques: il n’existe aucune protection du capital pour le produit présenté. Avec un PERLES, il est possible d’essuyer des pertes en cas de baisse de l’indice sous-jacent. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.

Or
La monnaie de crise attire

Si octobre a été charmant d’un point de vue météorologique, la situation boursière a été moins sympathique. Comme nous l’avons déjà traité dans les deux pages précédentes, la correction de cours sur les marchés d’actions a généré une forte hausse de la volatilité. Dans le même temps, l’or s’est signalé. Depuis fin-septembre, la monnaie de crise a renchérit de 3,4 %. ¹ En conséquence, l’ETC (symbole : CGCCIU) sur l’indice UBS Bloomberg CMCI Gold CHF Monthly Hedged TR semble s’échapper d’une tendance baissière technique par le haut. Ce produit de participation permet un positionnement optimisé sur le métal précieux.

Jusqu’à la fin du troisième trimestre, la plupart des investisseurs ont méprisé le placement refuge or. En particulier la nette hausse des taux d’intérêt aux Etats-Unis et la force du dollar US en résultant pesaient sur le métal précieux. Même si la demande pour le billet vert reste forte (il s’agit d’une monnaie de crise) et maintient un niveau élevé, le prix de l’or a fortement augmenté ces dernières semaines. Manifestement, l’augmentation des facteurs généraux d’insécurité a mené les investisseurs à s’engager plus fortement sur le mode sans risques. En particulier la situation en Italie préoccupe les marchés financiers. Le gouvernement du parti de droite la Ligue et le mouvement populiste 5 étoiles prévoient pour 2019 un endettement dépassant nettement le niveau promis par le gouvernement précédent. La Commission européenne a rejeté le projet de Rome, fait inédit dans l’histoire de la zone euro. « Si la confiance disparaît, cela nuira à tous les Etats-membres, cela nuira à notre Union », a déclaré le vice-président de la Commission Valdis Dombrovski pour expliquer cette première. L’Italie dispose désormais de trois semaines pour réagir aux critiques et présenter un nouveau budget pour 2019 à Bruxelles. (Source : Thomson Reuters, revue de presse, 23.10.2018).

Opportunités: avec l’ETC (symbole: CGCCIU) sur l’indice UBS Bloomberg CMCI Gold CHF Monthly Hedged TR, les investisseurs peuvent diversifier simplement et à bon compte leur portefeuille. Le sous-jacent du produit est constitué par le prix de l’or, via plusieurs contrats à terme. Dans ce contexte, de manière typique pour la gamme d’indices CMCI, le positionnement s’effectue sur toute la courbe des futurs et l’ensemble des échéances liquides. Un mécanisme de sauvegarde permet de neutraliser les fluctuations entre la valeur de manière première en dollar US et la monnaie du produit (franc Suisse) sur une base mensuelle.

Risques: il n’existe aucune protection du capital pour le produit présenté. Avec un ETC, il est possible d’essuyer des pertes en cas de baisse de l’indice sous-jacent. Par ailleurs, avec les produits structurés, l’investisseur supporte le risque d’émetteur. Cela signifie qu’en cas d’insolvabilité d’UBS SA, le capital investi peut être perdu, indépendamment de l’évolution du sous-jacent.
