PHILLIP SUMMARY
Major U.S. stock-market benchmarks ended Monday’s session at records as investors remained attuned to developments in the U.S.-China trade relationship and cheered a wave of merger activity.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average advanced 0.68% to end at 28,066.47, while the Nasdaq Composite, climbed 1.3%, to 8,632.49. The S&P 500 index SPX ended higher at 3,133.64, a gain of 0.8%.
Analysts said investors remain sensitive to headlines around U.S.-China trade talks, with remarks Saturday by Robert O’Brien, the U.S. national security adviser, in the spotlight. O’Brien told reporters at a security conference in Halifax that a “phase-one” deal between the U.S. and China by the end of the year still appeared possible, Reuters reported, while also warning that the U.S. would not “turn a blind eye to what’s happening in Hong Kong or what’s happening in the South China Sea, or other areas of the world where we’re concerned about China’s activity.”
On the economic front, the Chicago Fed’s national activity index for October fell to a reading of negative-0.71, from negative-0.45 in the previous month. The Dallas Fed manufacturing index rose to a negative-1.3 in November from negative-5.1 in October.

RESEARCH REPORTS
Thai Beverage PLC – Beer losing (from) interest
Recommendation: REDUCE (Downgraded), Last Done: S$0.89
Target Price: S$0.80, Analyst: Paul Chew
– Revenue and earnings were below our forecast. Earnings suffered from less fair value gains in associate Frasers Property (FPL) and beer division losses.
– Volumes were healthy for spirits and beer but gross margins suffered. More than 100% of 4Q19 PATMI is from the spirits division.
– Dividends for the year raised by 23% to Bt0.48 (S$0.021).
– Downgrade to REDUCE. We lowered our SOTP-derived TP to S$0.80 as we cut FY20e earnings by 5%. Our margins interest expense estimates have been raised. Outlook for FY20e is dependent on government support for farm income. Earnings from Sabeco will be under pressure from interest expenses and contribution to the group will be minimal
