Corporate Minute / By Roberto Aguilar (El Sol De México pg. 22) (El Sol De México Online) List of Favorites. Santander stock market analysts, led by Héctor Grisi, believe that while the S&P/BMV index offer attractive discounts above 20% with respect to average levels the last seven years, investments must be carefully chosen due to a lower growth environment, an unclear macroeconomic policy, a possible additional downgrade to the Pemex rating, and lackluster corporate profits. In view of this scenario, Santander chose its favorite shares as Gruma, Arca Continental, Alsea, BanBajio, GCC, and Vesta. The companies share the common denominators of a strong cash flow and a solid balance sheet, exposure to dollars, and strong regulatory risks.
