Discover market opportunities of ceramic industry in China domestic construction projects at Hotel Plus — HDE 2020, hosted by Sinoexpo Informa Markets

SHANGHAI, April 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Great changes have taken place in China’s export market for ceramic tiles. China Building Ceramics and Sanitaryware Industry Import and Export Analysis 2019 published by China Building Ceramics & Sanitaryware Association shows that both volume and value of ceramic tiles export from China to developed countries and regions including Europe, U.S. and Japan decreased year by year while the export to ASEAN, Africa and other Belt and Road countries is increasing year by year. The coronavirus outbreak is having an impact on the global economy, but as work and production resume, domestic consumption needs will rebound.

Manufacturersare facing challenges with coronavirus
Global trade growth has slowed down since 2019. China export of building ceramics and sanitaryware continued to grow and in the meanwhile the product quality has been improved. Total amount of ceramics and sanitaryware export, including bathroom hardware accessories, reached $20.86 billion, up by 17.55% YOY. Due to the evolving situation related to the global spread of COVID-19, China imports and exports of building ceramics and sanitaryware products experienced unprecedented challenges.
Distributors will be replaced by construction projects to become the main sales channel of ceramic tiles

In the face of complicated and severe international trade and economic climate, heavy reliance on distributors is dangerous for manufacturers. With the full recovery of domestic market, construction projects probably will displace traditional dealers and become the most important sales channel to sell ceramic tiles. Data shows that in 2018 the total sales volume of national TOP 20 real estate developers reached 5.8 trillion RMB while the overall amount of TOP 100 was over 8 trillion RMB. Chinese authorities issued a policy in recent years that newly built commercial residential buildings must be finely finished before deliver to buyers. Supported by the ongoing policy, there is a huge potential in the strategic centralized procurement of finely finished real estate projects which the market value estimated nearly 100 billion RMB. Based on the reality, many large-scale ceramic manufacturers began to fully prepare for the fierce market competition. However, it is predicted that a large amount of companies who are less competitive, lack of brand value or weak in management will be eliminated due to the high entry barrier, accelerating the industry reshuffle and brand concentration.
Seize the market of commercial construction projects by brand exposure and match making at Hotel Plus – HDE
Serving as the one-stop purchasing platform for hotels and commercial space, Shanghai International Hospitality Design & Supplies Expo (Hotel Plus – HDE) attracts high quality buyers and business visitors every year from the community of designers, architects, owners, developers, hoteliers, property managers, industry experts and journalists. With the advantage of latest product design, precise match-making and strong promotion, Hotel Plus – HDE is regarded as the must-attend trade show for construction suppliers who are interested in China market. The featured exhibition sector of ceramics and bathroom accessories will continue to take the center stage at the show, providing a wide variety of ceramic tiles and sanitary wares and many more for commercial designers and contractors.

Disaster Relief Donation to City of Toronto

Labatt to deliver 223,000 cans of drinking water to assist City of Toronto in COVID-19 relief efforts
TORONTO, April 26, 2020 /CNW/ – Labatt Breweries of Canada is again mobilizing its breweries to produce and deliver six truck loads with 223,000 cans of drinking water to support COVID-19 relief efforts in Toronto.

The 223,000 cans of drinking water will be distributed equally between the Toronto Drop-In Network and its Streets to Home Program. The need for canned drinking water is a result of reduced opportunities for those who are street involved or experiencing homelessness to access drinking water.
Mayor John Tory, City of Toronto, said: “I want to thank Labatt Breweries of Canada for their commitment to donate the 223,000 cans of drinking water to help our most vulnerable citizens who are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in unique ways. The support of private partners like Labatt have helped our City in our non-stop efforts to respond to this emergency – to protect the health of residents and save lives. While our own Toronto tap water continues to be safe and reliable, we know that these challenging times call for extraordinary measures and we are grateful to our corporate partners who are helping us deliver.”

With the majority of daytime drop-in providers having moved to a takeaway meal service model, there is a high demand for single-use, portable drinks. This allows service providers to distribute drinks, along with takeaway meals, while maintaining public health guidelines for appropriate physical distancing. It also helps by eliminating practices that could possibly transmit COVID-19 such as using shared drinking water sources (e.g. water fountains) or shared or uncleaned re-useable bottles. 
Charlie Angelakos, Labatt’s Vice President, Legal and Corporate Affairs, said: “This has been an incredibly challenging time for all Canadians. Our 3,500 employees across the country have been doing an exceptional job rising to the occasion so we can give back to our communities. When we heard there was a shortage of drinking water supply at some of the City of Toronto’s critical programs, we mobilized our Disaster Relief Program as quickly as we could.”
Labatt’s Canadian Disaster Relief Program was first established to provide safe drinking water to Canadian communities that have experienced a natural disaster. The company’s hometown brewery in London, Ontario periodically pauses beer production to can drinking water to be ready to help communities in times of disaster. The company maintains a constant inventory of fresh and safe canned water exclusively for this purpose. Since its inception, the program has expanded to provide support beyond drinking water, such as donating 100,000 bottles of hand sanitizer, and mobilizes as needs arise during times of disaster or crisis.
About Labatt Breweries of Canada
Established by John Kinder Labatt in London, Ontario in 1847, Labatt Breweries is one of Canada’s founding businesses and its leading brewer. The company today has more than 3,500 employees, six breweries, four stand-alone craft brewers, a BC distillery and a portfolio of 60 quality beers, including Budweiser, Alexander Keith’s, Labatt Blue, Kokanee, Stella Artois and Corona.  Brands also include ready-to-drink beverages such as Palm Bay and Mike’s Hard Lemonade and NÜTRL VODKA SODA. As part of the Anheuser-Busch InBev family, Labatt is committed to Bringing People Together for a Better World, making a positive contribution through multiple programs that support its communities, promote responsible drinking and protect the environment.

GOLDMAN SACHS: These are the top 11 companies to watch as we enter the best stock-picking environment in over a decade

Reuters; Reuters
Goldman Sachs says stock pickers have been presented with their biggest opportunity in more than a decade as returns from stocks start to diverge dramatically.
Strategist Ryan Hammond created a way to find the stocks set to stand out from the market the most, giving an investors a chance to buy the potential gainers and short future losers.
Over the last few months, stocks have moved in unison as investors alternated between being very pessimistic or very optimistic about equities broadly.
Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
If you’ve gotten the impression that stocks have been either rising in unison or falling together, you’re not far off.
Goldman Sachs US equity strategist Ryan Hammond notes that correlations between stocks — or the mathematical connection between the directions of equity moves — has soared over the last three months. The measure is now as high as it was in the Black Monday crash in 1987, the day the S&P 500 fell 22.6%.
But as time goes on, investors are hunting for coronavirus-related winners and losers. That means the dispersion of stocks — or the uncertainty about how each one will perform — is on the rise. Hammond says that’s a trend that’s only going to get more pronounced.

“We expect return dispersion will remain elevated in the near term as investors continue to assess the relative ‘winners’ and ‘losers’ in the current environment,” he wrote in a note to clients. “History shows that correlations typically fall and dispersion rises further as the equity market rebounds out of a bear market.”
That’s a big change that means investors who buy the right stocks might reap much bigger rewards than they did over the last 11 years, when correlation was high and it was hard to find individual stocks that would outperform.
“Following a decade of persistently narrow return dispersion, the dispersion of S&P 500 returns has risen to its widest level since 2009,” Hammond wrote. He says dispersion is especially high among consumer discretionary stocks.
Hammond and his team also created a list of the stocks that are most likely to stand out from the broader market.
To evaluate them, Hammond measured the proportion of each stock’s return that was driven by issues specific to the company, meaning it couldn’t be explained by other factors like size or what sector it operates in. He also calculated the amount of risk associated with that return.

He combined those two factors into a metric he called a dispersion score. Investors can use it to get a sense of how much risk is associated with an investment in each stock.
“Stocks with high dispersion scores are more likely to have heightened responses to idiosyncratic news and present the best alpha generation opportunities,” he wrote.
Perhaps not surprisingly, some of the stocks with the highest scores have nosedived during the pandemic as traders feel they face huge risks. But some investors believe those stocks could stage big comebacks.
For traders who are more skeptical, their dispersion could present an opportunity to win by shorting the stock. Ultimately the direction of the bet is at the discretion of the trader.
Here are the 11 stocks with the top dispersion scores, ranked from lowest to highest. The median S&P 500 company has a dispersion score of 2.0.

Second Citizenship via Fund Option from St Kitts and Nevis is an Important Asset to Family Life

LONDON, April 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Citizenship by investment (CBI) plays an important role in family security, a guest of a newly launched podcast series suggested on Wednesday. Beatrice Gatti, Head of Government Advisory Practice at leading investor immigration firm CS Global Partners, said that second citizenship remains an important asset. The podcast references St Kitts and Nevis as the origin of today’s CBI industry.

Through CBI, families seek better access to high quality education and healthcare, flexibility to visit their children studying abroad or living with more freedoms. Mrs Gatti notes that, in the context of the current global mobility restrictions, many countries have limited access for foreign nationals, but their own citizens and residents are still allowed to enter.
“One thing to note in this pandemic is that, although many countries have closed their borders to foreigners, most have not closed their borders to citizens and permanent residents – meaning that even in these extraordinary times a second citizenship is an important asset,” Mrs Gatti says.
St Kitts and Nevis has been successfully running its ‘Platinum Standard’ CBI Programme since 1984. It currently provides the fastest route to second citizenship through its fund option. Prime Minister Timothy Harris introduced the Sustainable Growth Fund (SGF) in 2018. After passing all the due diligence checks, applicants make a straightforward contribution to a government-held account. This makes the process safer, faster and more transparent, as the government is able to confirm receipt of funds without delay.

There is the added option to speed up the process to obtain citizenship – and accompanying passport, a process separate from CBI – to 60 days or less. This is called Accelerated Application Process, a feature unique only to St Kitts and Nevis.
Earlier this month, Les Khan, the CEO of the country’s Citizenship by Investment Unit, said that SGF was created with family needs in mind. Single applicants must make a qualifying contribution of US$150,000. Meanwhile, a family of four only needs to contribute US$195,000, with any further dependents added for another US$10,000 each. Mrs Gatti confirms that the Middle East, where larger families are more common, remains a key region that continues to seek citizenship by investment.
To find out if you and your family can obtain second citizenship from St Kitts and Nevis, visit the government website.

Doing Their Part: High-End Fashion Retailer Donates 5% of Revenue to Fight the Pandemic

VIENNA, April 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Ever since the global pandemic brought the world to a halt, companies have been struggling to switch their operations online. However, even online retailers feel it’s of paramount importance to do their part and help combat the spread of the virus. BAMBINIFASHION, a Vienna-based online store for premium children’s clothing, just unveiled its strategy to help alleviate the consequences of the global pandemic. One of the world’s leading children’s fashion retailers, BAMBINIFASHION will donate 5% of revenue from every purchase made to the WHO, helping curb the spread of the virus.
Companies are increasingly aware that it’s important to do their part and show their corporate responsibility in these difficult times. With both TIME and Fortune magazines estimating that the global fashion industry is going to take a downturn throughout 2020, it’s the workers in supply chains who have suffered the most from lack of revenue ever since the social distancing measures came into effect. International Labor Organization estimates that more than 24 million workers will lose their jobs as a consequence of the stay-home economy, most of which are coming from the fashion sector. BAMBINIFASHION’s strategy is to fight on two fronts: to support its business model and keep the wheel of economy spinning, and to reroute a part of its proceedings to help those in need.
With the number of cases rising well above two million and social distancing measures being in full effect, online shopping has often become the only way to get new items or send presents to friends and family. The fact that every gift to you send to someone will also be helping those in need is another way to show support in these times. The donation will be made to WHO relief programs that target medical professionals.

From Volcano to Virtual; Students Embrace an Academic New Norm

PORTLAND, Ore., April 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Wy’East Mountain Academy is one of the world’s only snowboard, ski, and skateboard high schools and is known for producing its fair share of Olympic medalists. Each April, students and families gather for Wy’East’s annual graduation ceremonies at the historic Timberline Lodge on Mt. Hood, which is a designated “potentially active” volcano by the U.S. Geological Survey and happens to be the second most climbed mountain in the world. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, students, staff, and families have instead gathered around their computers today to participate in one of the nation’s first online high school graduation ceremonies.
With the school year cut short, students quickly adapted from skateparks and ski slopes to wrapping up the year studying and training at home through personalized online coaching and athletics. Students connected with their academic advisors, coaches, and peers daily via the video conferencing app, Zoom, where they shared videos of their at-home or local gym workouts, new skateboard and trampoline tricks, and presented projects for new skateboard and terrain park designs.
Under normal circumstances, the school’s summer term would begin on May 11 with students earning extra credits while skiing and snowboarding through the summer months on Mt. Hood’s year-round natural snow pack. In this new era, students will be returning to a program Wy’East calls their “Mobile Semester,” which expands on the virtual experience the school moved to this spring.
“It’s all about making lemonade out of lemons,” commented Kevin English, the academy’s president. “Fortunately, our school has been dedicated to the online education model for over a decade so adapting to the current global environment was easy. The current situation not only forced us to accelerate our academic and athletic performance, but to also prioritize our students to continue to feel connected to each other, the school, the culture, and the sports they love so much.”
The virtual graduation went off without a hitch featuring all the traditional pomp and circumstance to be expected: faculty welcomes, accomplished alumni keynotes (Olympic bronze medalist Alex Beaulieu-Marchand), contemplative student speeches, a turning of the tassels and a toss of the mortarboards all within the confines of home.

About Wy’East Mountain Academy
Founded in 2009, Wy’East Mountain Academy is an action sports-focused academic boarding school that has produced countless noteworthy and successful alumni including Olympic and X-Games medalists. Designed and directed in partnership with its staff of globally renowned coaches and academic professionals, Wy’East Mountain Academy is for students grades 7-12 who have a passion for skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and skateboarding, and for those who simply aspire to experience the great outdoors.

Embraer S.A. – Material Fact

SÃO JOSÉ DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, April 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Embraer S.A. (“Embraer” – EMBR3 and ERJ), in compliance with the provisions of the CVM Instruction 358/02 and in connection with the strategic partnership between Embraer and The Boeing Company (“Boeing” and such partnership, the “Transaction”), informs its shareholders and the market that Embraer received today a notice sent by Boeing communicating its decision to terminate the Master Transaction Agreement (“MTA”), based on Boeing’s assertion that supposedly certain closing conditions in the MTA have not been satisfied by Embraer.
Embraer strongly believes that Boeing has wrongfully terminated the MTA, that it has manufactured false claims as a pretext to seek to avoid its commitments to close the transaction and pay Embraer the US$ 4.2 billion purchase price. Embraer believes Boeing has engaged in a systematic pattern of delay and repeated violations of the MTA, because of its unwillingness to complete the transaction in light of its own financial condition and 737 MAX and other business and reputational problems.
Embraer believes it is in full compliance with its obligations under the MTA and will pursue all remedies against Boeing for the damages incurred by Embraer as a result of Boeing’s wrongful termination and violation of the MTA.
The Transaction involved a long, costly and complex process, which was supported by government authorities and the substantial majority of Embraer’s shareholders, all understanding that the Transaction would be in the best interest of Embraer, its employees, suppliers and customers in commercial aviation.
Embraer remains today a successful, efficient, diversified and vertically integrated company, with a history of serving customers with highly successful products and services built on a strong foundation of engineering and industrial capabilities. Embraer is an exporter and technology developer, with global presence and defense, executive and commercial businesses. Our employees will proudly continue to provide for our clients the high quality products and services they depend on from Embraer every day.

Embraer’s history of over 50 years is lined with many victories but also some difficult moments. All of them were overcome. And that’s exactly what Embraer is going to do again. Embraer shall overcome these challenges with strength and determination.
Embraer will keep its shareholders, the market in general, and all employees, suppliers and clients informed about any relevant updates.
