EM Trader Tim Seymour: Fantastic Brazil Play

If you’re looking to play Latin America, emerging markets trader Tim Seymour suggests getting exposure to the consumer through “the Wal-Mart of Brazil.”

His play is long Companhia Brasileira De Distribuicao a Sao Paolo-based company which is engaged in the sale of food, clothing, home appliances, fuel, drugs and other products.

Here’s why Seymour is bullish:

Trading at 16x forward PER, we like CBD as a secular story in the Brazilian food and electronics retailer industry.

We think the corporate governance noise that has been pressuring the stock price should quiet down now that Casino took formal control of the company last month.

We also expect them to take greater control over their electronics JV towards the end of the year by replacing the current CEO when his tenure expires.

CBD is also a way to play the next economic cycle in Brazil that should start later in the year into 2013 powered by the ongoing monetary easing as well as the preparations for the FIFA world cup in 2014.
