• Ryanair boss looks beyond summer loss to post-pandemic growth

BEFORE THE BELL
Wall Street futures were higher as investors geared up for an event-packed week starting with the U.S. presidential election. Upbeat euro zone and China factory activity data pushed European and Asian shares up. The dollar index was little changed, while gold was in the green. Oil prices fell on worries that widening coronavirus lockdowns in Europe would weaken fuel demand. The U.S. manufacturing PMI for October is on the economic calendar.


STOCKS TO WATCH

Results
• Clorox Co (CLX). The company raised its full-year sales and profit forecast on Monday, as the bleach maker benefits from a sustained boom in demand for its disinfectants and other cleaning products due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The company said net sales jumped 27% to $1.92 billion in the first quarter ended Sept. 30, beating Wall Street expectations of $1.76 billion. Net earnings rose to $415 million, or $3.22 per share, from $203 million, or $1.59 per share, a year earlier. Clorox said it expects its full-year sales to rise in the range of 5% to 9%, compared with a prior forecast of a flat to low single-digit growth, and earnings per share to rise 5% to 8%, up from an previous estimate of a mid-single-digit rise or fall.

• Estee Lauder Cos Inc (EL). The M.A.C brand owner beat analysts' estimates for quarterly sales and profit, benefiting from strong Chinese demand and a surge in online orders for its skincare products. Sales in the company's Asia-Pacific market increased 9% to $1.15 billion, also helped by China's move to raise the annual tax-free shopping limit for tourists in the Hainan province. Excluding one-time items, the company reported a profit of $1.44 per share. Analysts were expecting a profit of 90 cents per share. Net sales fell 9% to $3.56 billion but were above expectations of $3.46 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

• Ryanair Holdings PLC (RYAAY). The low-cost carrier recorded its first loss for the key summer period in 30 years as a result of the coronavirus crisis, which threatens to cut passenger numbers to half pre-pandemic levels next year. But a stronger than expected balance sheet bolstered investor sentiment on Monday as Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said there had never been a more exciting opportunity for growth than that likely to emerge out of the pandemic. Ryanair posted a 197 million euros ($230 million) loss in the six months to the end of September after COVID-19 restrictions cut traffic by 80% and O'Leary said a deeper loss was likely in the second half. That was down from a profit of 1.15 billion euros in the first half last year and represented Ryanair's first loss in its key summer quarter since 1990. It was, however, less than the 244 million euro loss forecast in a company poll of analysts, while cash balances increased to 4.5 billion euros from 3.9 billion euros in the previous quarter. O'Leary said he did not anticipate the airline would have to raise more funds.

Deals Of The Day
• Dunkin' Brands Group Inc (DNKN). Inspire Brands will buy Dunkin' Brands for $8.76 billion, the two companies said late on Friday, bringing chains like Arby's and Dunkin' Donuts under the same umbrella in one of the largest restaurant deals. Inspire Brands, which owns Arby's, Buffalo Wild Wings and Sonic Drive-In, said its all-cash deal to take the owner of Dunkin' Donuts and Baskin-Robbins chains private would value it at $106.50 a share. That represents a nearly 20% premium over Dunkin's last closing share price on Oct. 23, before the New York Times first reported the deal talks. Including debt, the deal is valued at about $11.3 billion, the companies said. Dunkin' and Baskin-Robbins will operate as distinct brands within Inspire, the companies said.

• Nielsen Holdings Plc (NLSN). The company said on Sunday it will sell its consumer goods data unit for $2.7 billion to private equity firm Advent International, as the market research firm narrows its focus to its media arm. Advent will buy Nielsen's Global Connect unit in partnership with James Peck, a former chief executive officer of credit reporting company TransUnion, Nielsen said. The sale of its Connect business, which provides research data to consumer goods companies, will help the firm reduce its debt load, it added. Upon completion of the deal, Global Connect will become a private company headquartered in Chicago and be renamed NielsenIQ in early 2021. David Rawlinson will remain its head through the closing of the deal and is expected to be part of the leadership team thereafter. However, Peck will be involved in the "day-to-day strategic and operational activities" of the company upon closing, Nielsen said.

Moves
• Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL) & General Motors Co (GM). The airline said on Friday Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson would resign from his position, effective Nov. 15, to join General Motors as CFO. Jacobson, 48, was also named the executive vice president of GM and will report to Chief Executive Officer Mary Barra, GM said. He will replace John Stapleton, GM's acting CFO, who will continue as the company's North America chief financial officer, a position he has held since January 2014. Delta said it will be conducting a global search for a replacement, besides considering internal candidates. In the interim, Gary Chase and Bill Carroll will serve as co-chief financial officers. Jacobson will join GM effective Dec. 1 with an initial annual compensation that will include a base salary of $1 million, the automaker said.

In Other News
• Amazon.com Inc (AMZN). The e-commerce giant has complained to India's market regulator that its local partner Future Retail misled shareholders by incorrectly saying it was complying with its contractual obligations to Amazon, a letter seen by Reuters shows. In the letter to the Securities & Exchange Board of India Chairman Ajay Tyagi on Wednesday, Amazon said Future's news release and stock exchange disclosures violated Indian regulations, urging the regulator to investigate the matter and not approve the deal. "Such a disclosure is against public interest, misleads public shareholders ... as well as perpetuates a fraud for the benefit of the Biyanis alone," Amazon letter said, referring to Future's promoter family led by Kishore Biyani. Separately, Amazon is withdrawing advertising for pre-Black Friday discounts in France, after the government said the campaign was unfair to small shops at time when a coronavirus lockdown has forced them to close.

• Ares Management Corp (ARES). Embattled Australian wealth manager AMP said a conditional buyout offer from Ares had an implied value of A$6.36 billion, triggering a jump in its share price. Simon Mawhinney, chief investment officer of Allan Gray, AMP's second-largest shareholder, said the market reaction was somewhat surprising. "We'll apply our minds to any offers for AMP in whole or in part when those offers are firmed up," Mawhinney said in an email to Reuters. Ares' indicative offer price represents a premium of 21% to AMP's closing price of A$1.53 on Friday, when shares had already surged after AMP announced receipt of the offer earlier in the day.

• CBL & Associates Properties Inc (CBL). The shopping mall operator voluntarily filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Sunday, becoming the latest mall operator seeking to restructure its operations as the COVID-19 crisis caused prolonged closures. The bankruptcy was earlier reported by Bloomberg, which said the process will give the company a chance to continue operating while reorganizing its finances and business. In a filing on the U.S. Bankruptcy court for the Southern District of Texas, CBL listed both estimated assets and liabilities in the range of about $1 billion to $10 billion.

• CoreLogic Inc (CLGX) & Cannae Holdings Inc (CNNE). Proxy adviser Institutional Shareholder Services said on Friday that CoreLogic shareholders should elect three of investor group Cannae Holdings and Senator Investment Group's nominees as more bidders try to buy the company. ISS backed the dissident group's nominees Steve Albrecht, Wendy Lane and Henry Winship, citing their independence, expertise in evaluating mergers and acquisitions, and ability to contribute better governance at the U.S. property data and analytics group. They should replace CoreLogic's three longest-serving directors on its 12-member board at the Nov. 17meeting, the report said.

• Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM). The company is urging the Australian government to start releasing aid to the country's oil refineries by January after a decision last week by BP to shut the nation's biggest refinery. Exxon owns Australia's oldest refinery at Altona near Melbourne, which can process 90,000 barrels per day of oil, the smallest of the nation's four refineries. The site supplies about half of the fuel for the state of Victoria, which has been subject to one of the world's longest and tightest coronavirus lockdowns. Exxon said the prolonged lockdown "has placed unprecedented pressure" on Altona, causing the plant to run at a loss.

• JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM). The bank will own 71% of its Chinese securities joint venture after completing the transaction to buy a 20% stake from one of its local partners, according to an exchange filing. The stake was put up for sale by state-owned Shanghai Waigaoqiao FTZ, a filing on the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange in September showed. JPMorgan was the only candidate that could raise its ownership with priority rights in the securities joint venture, the filing showed, as the remaining four shareholders had given up their rights to purchase the 20% stake. A filing to the exchange on Monday showed JPMorgan paid 177 million yuan for the stake and the deal was completed on Oct. 23.

• Lazard Ltd (LAZ). The company has hired restructuring banker Sam Whittaker from PJT Partners to oversee negotiations between companies and their creditors across Europe, the Middle East and Africa as a second wave of COVID-19 leaves many businesses fighting for survival. Whittaker, who started his banking career at Lazard in 2005 and then moved to fellow investment bank PJT in 2015, will re-join Lazard as a London-based managing director in its EMEA restructuring franchise.

• Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT) & Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (J). Britain's defence ministry will take back direct control of the operation and development of the country's nuclear weapons from a consortium of Lockheed Martin, Serco and Jacobs Engineering in June 2021, it said. Operation of the Atomic Weapons Establishment, which maintains the warheads for the Trident submarine-based nuclear deterrent, was awarded to the AWE Management consortium in 1999 under a 25-year contract. Lockheed Martin owns 51% and Serco and Jacobs Engineering own 24.5% each of the consortium. The government said ending the commercial arrangement early would improve its agility in managing the UK's nuclear deterrent and deliver value for money to the taxpayer.

• Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (PEI). The mall owner said late on Sunday that it filed a chapter 11 petition in a bankruptcy court to execute a prepackaged financial restructuring plan. The company said that under the plan it will be recapitalized and its debt maturities extended. The financial restructuring is not expected to have any impact on the company's shareholders, the statement said, adding that PREIT will pay all vendors, suppliers and employees during the course of chapter 11. The prepackaged plan received support from over 95% of the company's creditors, PREIT said on Sunday.

• Sanofi SA (SNY). The French drugmaker is offering to buy Dutch biotechnology company Kiadis for 308 million euros to boost its range of immunotherapy products. Sanofi will offer 5.45 euros in cash, the companies said in a joint statement on Monday, a premium of 272% to Kiadis' closing share price on Oct. 30. "We believe Kiadis 'off the shelf' K-NK cell technology platform will have broad application against liquid and solid tumors, and create synergies with Sanofi's immuno-oncology pipeline, providing opportunities for us to pursue potential best-in-disease approaches," said John Reed, global head of research and development at Sanofi.

• Twitter Inc (TWTR). The social media platform said on Friday it had changed its policy and lifted a freeze it placed on the account of the New York Post after the newspaper published articles about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's son. The New York Post can now send tweets again, the company said. On Oct. 14, Twitter had said the stories violated its hacked materials policy. "We will no longer restrict their account under the terms of the previous policy and they can now tweet again," Twitter said.

Goedemorgen,
De week van de waarheid, morgen in de VS de laatste kans om een nieuwe president te verkiezen, wie de winnaar wordt valt af te wachten en het kan nog tot eind deze week duren voor men eruit is. Veel stemmen werden er al met de post gedaan al is het de vraag of alles op tijd komt om mee te tellen. Het blijft een moeilijk geval en ook al staat Biden nog fors voor via de peilingen, door tekortkomingen en beslissingen via de rechter kan het zijn dat er veel stemmen niet geteld worden en dat zou dan in het voordeel van Trump uitdraaien. We gaan het zien, eerlijk verloopt het niet mijn inziens, we moeten dus afwachten. Het zal in ieder geval draaien om een paar swing states die de beslissing gaan geven. Nogmaals, tegen het einde van deze week weten we veel meer ...

De markt dan, we weten het niet, het zal een volatiele week worden volgens mij, 4 jaar geleden was dat ook al zo. Ik herinner me dat de Dow Jones intraday zo'n 1000 tot 1200 punten bewoog, dan omhoog en omlaag samengevoegd uiteraard. Wel stond de index toen rond de 16.000 punten dus procentueel heb ik het dan over waardes van tussen de pakweg 5 en 10% tussen hoog en laag. We gaan zien of er weer zoiets komt dinsdag in de nacht als de uitslagen binnen druppelen. De markt zal in ieder geval niet stil staan en de futures in de nacht kunnen grote uitslagen geven. Daarom ben ik ook niet van plan om in de markt te zitten tot na woensdag of in ieder geval tot we een redelijke zekerheid krijgen over de uitslag ...

De week start verdeeld zo te zien via de futures, het is wachten tot later op de dag en tot Wall Street weer open gaat. Er komen ook nog bedrijfscijfers deze week op Wall Street en vrijdag krijgen we een beeld van de arbeidsmarkt in de VS. Genoeg nieuws in ieder geval wat op ons afkomt. De AEX future staat zo'n 2 tot 3 punten lager, de DAX future 40 punten lager. De SP future zien we met een klein plusje, de Nasdaq future staat ook 30 punten hoger vanmorgen.

50- en 20-daags gemiddelde
We zien dat zowel hier in Europa als op Wall Street alle indices nu tot ver onder hun 50- en 20-daags gemiddelde terecht zijn gekomen. Het blijft een belangrijke steunzone (nu dus weerstand) Technisch bekeken, het is nu de vraag of de indices zich kunnen herpakken richting deze belangrijke MA's. Vooral de DAX staat er nu ver onder, het wordt moeilijk om het gat tussen de koers van nu tot het 20- en 50-MA dicht te maken.

Blijf dus goed op de belangrijke steunzones letten in deze fase, de AEX en de DAX zijn trouwens onder hun 200-MA terecht gekomen wat ook al niet veel goeds voorspelt. Wall Street staat nog boven dat 200-MA. al test de Dow Jones deze lijn nu wel. Door de stevige rally bij de BIG-Tech staan zowel de SP 500 en beide Nasdaq indices daar nog ruim boven maar we moeten ook op Wall Street goed op de markt blijven letten, de aandelen daar staan nog veel te duur in vergelijking met andere regio's.

Euro, olie en goud:
De euro zien we vanmorgen rond de 1.164 dollar, de olie (Brent) verliest vanmorgen weer fors, een vat kost nu 36,5 dollar wat 3,5% minder is dan vrijdag op slotbasis. De prijs van het goud herpakt zich wat vanmorgen, er staat nu 1885 dollar per troy ounce op de borden. De dollar werd de afgelopen 2 weken duurder, dat zie je ook deels bij het verloop van de grondstoffen terug.

US Markets Trading nu voor €39 tot 1 JANUARI 2021:
Maak gebruik van de nieuwe aanbieding die loopt tot het einde van dit beursjaar, ofwel tot 1 januari 2021 ... Ik blijf zoeken naar kansen in de markt, wel wacht ik even de verkiezingen in de VS af voor ik wat ga doen, daarna zal ik wat kleine posities opnemen.

De markt blijft wel nog wat te moeilijk om met grotere posities te werken dus blijf ik het met kleine aantallen doen tot na de verkiezingen in de VS. De volatiliteit is wel stevig genoeg om ook met kleine posities te werken hetgeen we aan beide kanten merken. Op zich kunnen we ermee overweg maar wel blijf ik zeer alert in deze markt en moeten we waar het kan geduld blijven houden.

Meedoen kan nu via de speciale aanbieding tot 1 JANUARI voor €39, na uw inschrijving staat u meteen op de verzendlijst en ontvangt u de updates, de signalen en kunt u inloggen op onze Tradershop om alle posities LIVE te volgen.
