We introduce our 2016 estimates and roll-forward valuation for GM and Ford, finding +50%
upside in the case of GM and +32% for F. Our established 2015 price targets increase on
newly considered 2016E earnings rather than 2015E in our valuation analysis and on capital
structure roll-forward as the firms generate sizable cash flow. Reiterate OW on GM and F.

Macau fundamentals have experienced unprecedented negative operating momentum
over last five months. When and at what levels do these stocks represent good riskrewards to buy? We prefer MGM and WYNN over MPEL and LVS, in the near term.
We see most of the stocks as having an upside/downside of 2:1 (so favorable). We
lower price targets, which suggest mean upside of 20%+ on a year-end 2015 basis.

We believe semiconductor industry has entered a more stable and less cyclical growth phase
characterized by mid- to high-single-digit annual revenue growth. We believe market will
continue to reward companies that are “category killers” in the markets they target and offer
op margin and FCF margin upside with increasing payout ratios. Our top picks in large-cap
semis are BRCM, INTC, TXN, XLNX and MRVL. Downgrading ADI and ONNN to N.

Following publication of the Trian letter to DuPont’s board, DD’s mgmt is now in the
position of having to defend and fortify its vision of the company through financial
returns. Current mgmt is likely to work to justify DD’s organizational structure, or the
structure will be replaced by a new one. The DD shareholder has the luxury of testing
both visions. We have raised our rating on DD to OW and lifted our Dec 15 price target.

We briefly refresh our outlook on the packaged food companies and migrate our price targets
to Dec 2015 from Dec 2014. Though they have outperformed their peers of late, we remain
OW HAIN and WWAV, which we think will continue to benefit over time from healthy
eating trends. We’re also constructive on MJN and MDLZ, also both rated OW.

We are launching coverage of the US Refining sector with a positive view and a
focus on individual stock selection based on ~25% total return potential (including
dividends) by December 2015, with Overweight ratings on MPC and PSX (Neutral
on HFC, TSO and VLO). While the global refining backdrop is challenged by tepid
demand and excess capacity, sustainable cost advantages should shelter US refining
margins, allowing for several more years of healthy FCF generation. Our base case
margins factor in favorable “normalized” crude differentials through 2016, but do not
assume any “blow out” scenarios like what happened in the Bakken (2012) or
Cushing (2013). This is based on our bottom-up US crude supply/demand model,
which suggests that enough outlets exist to soak up growing US crude production
into 2016, aided by import displacement, capacity increases, condensate exports and
crude exchanges/swaps. Given our view that US light crude will continue to find a
home, we do not assume that the crude export ban will need to be fully lifted in the
near term; however, we have run a downside case that shows ~25% EPS risk if it is.
Finally, we should note that our valuation approach uses a sum-of-the-parts valuation
methodology that does not contemplate multiple enhancement on refining-related
EBITDA (~4x), though we do see further MLP valuation creation levers (e.g., retail
and chemicals) for MPC, PSX and TSO that could lead to 30%+ return potential in
our upside case, supporting our positive view around non-macro value creation levers.
• Favorable (but not “blow out”) crude differentials through 2016 should
drive solid refining margins. The key driver of refining margins is crude
differentials, which are primarily a function of transportation cost and crude
quality differentials. Given our positive view on growing US crude production
(incremental 1.75mmbpd in 2015-16), we believe that refiners should continue to
benefit from an abundance of cheaper domestic crudes, particularly given the
existence of the crude export ban. However, our bottom-up supply/demand model
also still shows 1.75mmbpd+ of remaining outlet valves at YE14E between
higher utilization (including medium/sour displacement), capacity increases and
exports/exchanges/swaps. Therefore, while we see favorable crude differentials
and margins, we do not see “blow outs” like what happened in the Bakken (2012)
and Cushing (2013) as a likely scenario in 2015.
• Regional preferences: Mid-Continent and Texas Gulf Coast, watch for
Capline reversal in Louisiana. Based on our crude differentials outlook, we see
the highest margin potential in the Mid-Continent, followed by the Texas Gulf
Coast. Currently wide Texas Midland differentials could narrow in 2H15 with the
start-up of several new pipelines. In Louisiana, transport bottlenecks are currently
limiting crude access, leaving more crude on the Texas Gulf Coast. However, a
potential reversal of the Capline pipeline, aided by the recently announced
Diamond pipeline, could change the game. Eastern Canada is set to improve with
more cost advantaged crude access. PADD 5 is likely to remain challenged, but
could become slightly better if certain projects (e.g., Port of Vancouver) are
approved. PADD 1 should remain tough, but Bakken crude by rail access should
allow for a higher floor than the rest of the Atlantic Basin.
• Balance sheets look healthy with incremental MLP outlet valve, capital
deployment shareholder friendly. Even in our scenario in which crude
differentials do not blow out, US refiners should generate healthy FCF (~8%
average annual FCF yield in 2015-16E, excluding TSO and PSX’s CPChem
project capital). With our expectation for lower capital intensity and more FCF

going back to shareholders (~75% of redeployed capital from 2012-14E), capital
discipline looks to be less of a concern versus past cycles. Further, comfortable
parent company balance sheets (20-25% gross debt-to-capital, ex-MLP) that have
an additional MLP outlet valve should provide meaningful flexibility.
• Roughly 25% total return potential, with OWs on MPC and PSX. Based on
our sum-of-the-parts valuation methodology, we see ~25% total return potential
(including dividends) by year-end 2015. We initiate coverage on MPC and PSX
with Overweight ratings, while we are Neutral on HFC, TSO and VLO. Our OW
ratings are based on end-market exposures, company-specific controllable
EBITDA levers and balance sheet/capital deployment options, with a summary
for each company provided on pages 17 and 18 of this report.
• Conservative on refining multiples, but sum-of-the-parts approach
highlights portfolio value levers. While terms like “sustainable cost advantage”
might argue for a multiple re-rating, uncertainty around the crude export ban
makes it difficult for us to argue that investors should pay up for a theoretically
less volatile refining FCF (our SOTP models use ~4x for refining EBITDA). That
said, we see further opportunities for refiners to leverage the MLP structure with
logistics, retail and chemicals assets, which would effectively upgrade the
multiple on a more stable portion of the asset base. We ran upside cases for each
company around incremental MLP value creation potential, both with dropdowns
in existing MLP structures (logistics) as well as what we view as new MLP
opportunities (retail, chemicals, etc.). We see the highest upside at MPC (retail
$6/share), TSO (retail $10/share), and PSX (chemicals $3/share). To be clear,
however, we believe MLP at <20% of a portfolio cannot trump refining
fundamentals at >80% of a portfolio. Thus, the macro environment (refining
margins) and execution of company-specific levers are paramount, in our view.
• Risk #1 (key to watch): Crude export ban lifted. While predicting the outcome
of the crude export ban is difficult, we sensitized our models to one possible
downside scenario in the event that the ban is lifted, which factors in both
narrowing crude differentials and product yield contraction. This scenario shows
~25% EPS risk across the group, with 30%+ at VLO/MPC (highest Gulf Coast
exposure cuts both ways), 25-30% at HFC/TSO and ~10% at PSX (most
diversified). Using our base-case multiples would imply December 2015 group
average total return potential of only 7% (VLO worst at -2%, PSX best at +18%),
with 2016E EV/EBITDA multiples going to ~6x from ~5x.
• Risk #2 (moderate): Product export markets could get more competitive.
Higher US crude runs mean more products that need a home, which are
increasingly landing in export markets. Growing US and global demand provides
a favorable cushion for diesel; however, shrinking US gasoline demand, limited
import displacement potential and fewer export outlets (starting to see European
gas in Latin America, US stretching into Africa) could create margin pressure if
the US continues to run full to maximize crude advantages.

We introduce our 2016 estimates and roll-forward valuation for GM and Ford,
finding +50% upside in the case of General Motors and +32% in the case of
Ford. Our established 2015 price targets increase on newly considered 2016E
earnings rather than 2015E in our valuation analysis and on capital structure rollforward as the firms generate sizable cash flow. 2016 earnings are expected to rise
relative to 2015, on industry tailwinds (continued trend toward more normal volumes
in Europe, cycling past a period of atypically strong macro headwinds in South
America, robust growth in China, and continued cyclical increase in North America
even if at a lesser rate) as well as various different self-help initiatives (e.g., as
restructurings in Europe, Australia, and elsewhere take further hold, and on cost
control efforts in North America). We reiterate our Overweight ratings on both GM
and Ford, seeing more value in automaker stocks than in supplier stocks generally,
on earnings that are growing almost as quickly as the average supplier over our
newly extended forecast window (and at least as structurally improved relative to
history) but valuation which is only in line with historical average (Ford) or even
significantly below (GM). We are more cautious on Tesla, however, with our Neutral
rating balancing incremental news flow likely to track positive with valuation that
appears stretched and execution and competitive risk that seems underappreciated.
• We prefer automakers to parts suppliers: they are growing earnings as
quickly and their profitability is as structurally improved, but, unlike
suppliers, they do not trade at a premium to history. While we remain bullish
on auto parts suppliers (see our concurrently published note, “See Most Upside to
Secular Growers HAR (+40%), TEN (+39%), THRM (+37%), DLPH (+36%),
and BWA (+35%) As We Look to 2016”), given our overall bullish industry view,
we prefer automakers on valuation. Since July 2012, GM is +73%, Ford is +79%,
and the average of the 16 parts suppliers we cover is +149% (vs. the S&P,
+48%). This has resulted in the suppliers as a group trading at 7.1x NTM
EBITDAP (vs. 5.3x historical long-run average), Ford trading at 4.7x, and GM at
just 2.6x (vs. our sense of GM’s and Ford’s historical average valuation of
roughly 3.75x to 4.75x). Over the long-run, we concede suppliers are likely to
grow earnings more quickly, on content per vehicle growth stories (e.g., along the
lines of “Safe, Green & Connected”), although our analysis shows automakers
hanging in there with suppliers medium term (on full-size truck refreshes, abating
of restructuring costs, and realization of restructuring savings), with GM growing
EBIT at a +13% CAGR and Ford +15% through 2016, relative to the average
auto parts supplier +13%.
• We prefer GM to Ford (and GM and Ford to Tesla), on lower valuation and
stronger near-term profit trend: Ford trades toward the high end of its range of
historical valuation (although not above it, like suppliers), while GM trades at a
discount. And yet we expect GM to experience strong truck-led profits for the
next several quarters as Ford does not, given lost production as it transitions to
produce a new aluminum version, even in the event of flawless execution. In fact,
we estimate that GM will report 3Q14-1Q15 global GM EBIT +55% y/y, or
+21% ex-recall, vs. Ford -2% y/y, or -14% ex-recall.
• GM 2016 estimates: We are positioned +8% above the Street on 2016. We
forecast 2016 EPS of $5.20, well above Bloomberg consensus of $4.82, on
volume gains across most regions and a focus on structural costs in North
America (we expect North America structural cost opportunity to be a focus of

the firm’s upcoming analyst day October 1). Our forecast presumes a 2016 North
America EBIT margin of 8.8%, +40 bps y/y vs. 8.4% in 2015, which is itself -60
bps vs. an ex-safety recall 9.0% in 2014 that benefits from strong product
cadence. Said differently, we are above consensus without giving much credence
to GM's 10% mid-decade North American EBIT margin goal, suggesting
potential additional upside to the extent GM can deliver in this area. Our newly
established December 2015 price target of $51 compares with our earlier $50
December 2014 price target. We have conservatively lowered our target multiple
to 4.0x from 4.5x, to necessitate less multiple expansion (when we moved to
4.5x, GM was trading closer to 4.0x). We recognize that even our lowered target
multiple represents substantial improvement vs. the 2.6x at which we estimate
GM is currently trading; however, we feel it is conservatively in keeping with the
automaker’s historical range of EBITDA despite structural improvement in
profitability and a substantially healthier balance sheet. In an upside scenario in
which GM can accomplish 10% GMNA EBIT margins or can convincingly
demonstrate that it is on a path toward such margins, we feel the stock could be
re-rated still higher, potentially even beyond 4.5x.
• Ford 2016 estimates: We are positioned +3% above the Street on 2016. We
forecast 2016 EPS of $2.23, modestly above Bloomberg consensus of $2.16, on
volume gains across most regions, a full year of F-150 production mostly offset
by softer pricing as the vehicle is no longer brand new, and strong growth in
China and India as new plants come on line and the product portfolio broadens.
We expect that Ford will accomplish its goal of deriving a material portion of its
global pretax profit from the Asia-Pacific region – in 2016, we forecast Asia
Pacific will account for roughly 15% of Ford’s global pretax profit, up from just
4% in 2013 and 0% in 2012. We rate Ford shares Overweight. While it does not
trade at the distressed level that GM does, we believe Ford is underappreciated
for what it is or rather what it will likely become once it fixes its international
operations (essentially, a “Blue Chip” company). Investors are understandably
focused nearer term, and closer to home – they are focused on the launch of
Ford’s all-new aluminum F-150 pickup truck in 4Q14, for which it is currently
taking downtime. IHS Automotive forecasts production of this truck -8% y/y in
3Q14 (vs. +18% y/y in 2Q14, when Ford reported impressively strong profits in
North America), -36% y/y in 4Q14, -36% y/y in 4Q14, and -10% y/y in 1Q15.
And this presumes a fairly straightforward rollout. Our base-case view
incorporates IHS’s – that there is a bit greater than typical downtime and
re-ramp but nothing too far out of the ordinary. Our newly established $22 price
target has a December 2015 end date (up from $21 for our previous December
2014 price target); the pressure on Ford earnings in our model nearer term (e.g.,
3Q14-1Q15 global Ford EBIT -2% y/y, or -14% ex-recall) makes Ford shares
more interesting to us toward the latter half of our investment time horizon (e.g.,
2Q15-4Q15 global EBIT +80% y/y).
• TSLA: Establish December 2015 price target at $190 and raise estimates
slightly on a kinder view toward deliveries (our most optimistic yet, but for
which we remain still below that implied by guidance). We establish a
December 2015 price target of $190 (vs. our December 2014 price target of
$170), with the price target primarily benefiting from the lesser discounting of
both our terminal cash flows analysis, which starts at our DCF end date of 2020
and our 2020-based multiples analysis (we already had 2016 estimates for TSLA;
our estimates rise slightly on a stronger trend to deliveries). We forecast 18,250
deliveries in 4Q15 (comprised of 11,750 Model S’s and 6,500 Model X’s),
annualizing to a run-rate of approximately 73,000, which is below TSLA’s
indicated potential 100,000 run-rate at 4Q15-end. Furthermore, our total volume
projection in 2020 is 303,500 (comprised of 60,000 Model S’s, 43,500 Model

Gigafactory capacity plans. For our price target to rise to the stock’s current level
would require inputting of 650,000 Model X’s into our model in 2020, presuming
our other estimates regarding Model S and Model X volume and corresponding
gross margin rates, for a total volume in 2020 of 753,500 units.

Macau fundamentals have experienced unprecedented negative operating momentum
over the last five months, driven by a number of factors that we have highlighted in
the past: Mainland China corruption crackdown impacting VIP and Premium Mass
revenues, less confidence in the junket system, tightened visa restrictions impacting
mass, and, perhaps, the impact of a slowing macro. In light of these factors, the
Macau stocks have meaningfully pulled back (perhaps an understatement) on lower
EBITDA expectations (consensus estimates have been going down), valuation
multiple contraction, and overall erosion of investor sentiment. In this note, we
provide our updated thoughts on the strategy and attempt to answer the most frequent
question we have been getting from investors: when and at what levels do these
stocks represent good risk-rewards to buy?
• In short, we look to October post Golden Week and after the beginning of the
smoking ban (starts 10/6 on base mass tables, our sense is the disruption from this
will be greater earlier on rather than later), where the risk-rewards could turn
more favorable, in our view. We also attempt to assess the downside on the four
US-listed Macau names (LVS, MGM, MPEL and WYNN) and where we think
these stocks would potentially be at “close your eyes” levels. We see most of the
stocks as having an upside/downside of 2:1 (so favorable). We prefer MGM and
WYNN over MPEL and LVS, in the near term, with the former possessing less
estimate risk than the two latter names (given recent divergence in mass
performance, even more remarkable for WYNN, given renovation disruptions
and not having all tables available, which reverts in October). Our price targets
are lowered and suggest mean upside of 20%+ on a year-end 2015 basis, based
on reasonable EBITDA multiple and free cash flow yield assumptions.
• Where is the share price downside? Looking out to our current 2015 below
Consensus EBITDA estimates and applying reasonable haircut scenarios, we see
another potential ~12% (on average) downside to current share prices for the
operators in our coverage universe, which would be anchored by ~7.5% free cash
flow yields and ~11x EBITDA multiples (on average, and not dissimilar to
2008/2009 levels where liquidity and balance sheet concerns were additional risk
factors that were priced into many of these stocks valuation levels). For LVS and
WYNN we use a downside target multiple of 11.5x, while for MPEL we use
10.5X and MGM we use 10.0x. We note that these downside target multiples are
at the lower end of where these stocks have ranged in recent history (the last five
to six years).
• LVS downside scenario assumptions and takeaways. Our LVS downside
scenario projects 2015 Macau Property Level EBITDA ~18% below our current
2015 estimate of $4.049 billion, and overall company-wide adjusted EBITDA
~11% below our 2015E. Using a target multiple of 11.5x on our 2015 downside
EBITDA and net debt estimates, we impute a downside equity value of ~$53,
which is ~16% below current levels and which implies a 2015E free cash flow
yield of ~7.5%. We note our downside scenario ascribes zero credit for the
Parisian Macau, which we believe is conservative. Please see the body of this
note for our downside scenario assumptions and detailed analysis.
• WYNN downside scenario assumptions and takeaways. Our WYNN
downside scenario projects 2015 Macau Property Level EBITDA ~7% below our
current 2015 estimate of $1.505 billion, and overall company-wide adjusted
7

EBITDA ~6% below our 2015E. Using a target multiple of 11.5x on our 2015
downside EBITDA and net debt estimates, we impute a downside equity value of
~$153, which is 16.5% below current levels and which implies a 2015E free cash
flow yield of ~6.7%. We believe this downside 2015E free cash flow yield of
6.7% would prove supportive of the shares, given the likely free cash flow
growth coming from the opening of WYNN Cotai in 2016. Please see the body
of this note for our downside scenario assumptions and detailed analysis.
• MGM downside scenario assumptions and takeaways. Our MGM downside
scenario projects 2015 Macau Property Level EBITDA ~9% below our current
2015 estimate of $916 million, and overall company-wide adjusted EBITDA
~2% below our 2015E. Using a target multiple of 10.0x on our 2015 downside
EBITDA and net debt estimates, we impute a downside equity value of ~$22,
which is ~4% below current levels and which implies a 2015E free cash flow
yield of 8.0%. We see the least downside to MGM shares from current levels,
which makes sense to us given its exposure to the steadily improving Las Vegas
Strip market. Please see the body of this note for our downside scenario
assumptions and detailed analysis.
• MPEL downside scenario assumptions and takeaways. Our MPEL downside
scenario projects 2015 Macau Property Level EBITDA ~12% below our current
2015 estimate of $1.435 billion, and overall company-wide adjusted EBITDA
~13% below our 2015E. Using a target multiple of 10.5x on our 2015 downside
EBITDA and net debt estimates, we impute a downside equity value of ~$24,
which is ~12% below current levels and which implies a 2015E free cash flow
yield of ~8%. We believe this downside 2015E free cash flow yield of ~8%
would prove supportive of the shares, given the likely free cash flow growth
coming from the ramp of Studio City throughout 2016. Please see the body of
this note for our downside scenario assumptions and detailed analysis.
• Our new forecast for the market. Looking ahead, we expect September to
come in with a 13% year-over-year decline, with mass growth of 12% and VIP
rolling chip volumes declining 25% year over year. For the 3Q14, we expect
market wide decline of 8%, with mass growing 14.6% and VIP down 19%. For
2014, we expect 2.0% growth, with mass up 23% (driven by 1H14 growth) and
VIP down 8.3%. In 2015, we forecast growth of 3.1%, with mass up 15% and
VIP down 4.3%. Forward visibility and ability to precisely forecast the market’s
growth is about as challenging as it has ever been in our time covering the sector.
• Lowering our price targets; estimates unchanged. With this note, we are
establishing year-end 2015 prices targets for LVS (to $69, from our prior yearend 2014 price target of $83), MGM (to $30, from our prior year-end 2014 price
target of $31), WYNN (to $210, from our prior year-end 2014 price target of
$239), and MPEL (to $31, from our prior year-end 2014 price target of $40), each
rated Overweight. We are now ascribing a 12x multiple to projected Macau
EBITDA streams (from 15x), which we believe is warranted given the
deceleration in the market’s growth.
• Price target methodologies. Our year-end 2015 price target of $69 for LVS is
based on a 2016E EV/EBITDA sum of the parts methodology (12x Macau, 12x
Singapore, 10x LV) with ~$3.80 NPV per share value related to its site 3 Cotai
development. Our year-end 2015 price target of $31 for MPEL is based on a

We believe the semiconductor industry has entered a more stable and less cyclical
growth phase characterized by mid- to high-single-digit annual revenue growth.
Given the relatively stable growth environment in the semiconductor industry, we
believe the market will continue to reward companies that are “category killers” in
the markets they target and offer operating margin and free cash flow margin upside
with increasing payout ratios. Our top picks in large-cap semis are BRCM, INTC,
TXN, XLNX, and MRVL as they offer stable revenue growth and superior operating
margin, FCF margin, payout ratio expansion, and they are market leaders in a
majority of the segments they target. We also are also positive on the semiconductor
capital equipment segment—AMAT, KLAC, and LRCX—driven by rising capital
intensity as semiconductor manufacturers must drive down the Moore’s Law curve
(i.e., make technology transitions and develop new materials to enhance performance
and lower costs) in order to remain competitive (see our semicap note published this
morning, Constructive 2015 Semicap Spending Environment; Reiterate OW on
AMAT, KLAC, and LRCX, Sur et al.). Conversely, we are downgrading ADI and
ONNN to Neutral as our prior Overweight thesis has not played out and ONNN is
within 5% of our price target.
• Entering a more stable growth phase in semis—focus on category killers
(market leaders) with margin/free cash flow expansion potential, and high
payout ratios. We believe the semiconductor industry has entered a more stable
and less cyclical growth phase characterized by mid- to high-single-digit annual
revenue growth. We attribute much of the slowing industry growth to the
commoditization of the PC and smartphone as the latter segments represent
roughly 60% of total semiconductor TAM. Given the relatively stable growth
environment in the semiconductor industry, we believe the market will reward
companies that have market leadership in their target markets, offer superior
operating margin and free cash flow margin leverage, with increasing payout
ratios such as OW-rated BRCM, INTC, TXN, XLNX and MRVL.
• Near-term supply/demand environment remains constructive. Despite
pockets of weakness from the Samsung supply chain and China Mobile, broader
semiconductor end-market trends are healthy with solid demand from the
automotive, industrial, PC, consumer, datacenter, and Apple supply chains. From
a supply standpoint, companies with broad-based exposure—TI, Freescale, NXP,
SanDisk and Linear—have indicated that inventory in the channel is lean and
lead times remain disciplined. Aggregate inventory at semiconductor companies
increased 5 days QoQ to 84 days in 2Q14, above the five-year average of 79 days
but at the same level as a year ago. We believe semiconductor companies
increased inventory slightly in 2Q14 in response to higher order backlog and
improving visibility into 2H14.
• Semi margins should get a 2H14 boost—still expecting 8% industry growth
this year and 3-5% growth next year. Macro conditions have steadily improved
over the past 18 months, driving semiconductor margins higher but still below the
peak. Aggregate industry gross and operating margins of 56.4% and 23.6% in
2Q14 were below recent peak levels of 58.6% and 28.5%, respectively. In
addition, 2Q14 utilization rates of 87.5% were roughly 300 basis points above the
historical midpoint of 84.5% but below the 2010 peak of 95.9%. We continue to

expect steady margin expansion in 2H14 driven by improving demand, inventory
replenishment, and cost reductions.
• Payout ratios continue to rise. Payout ratios for large-cap semiconductor stocks
have rapidly increased from an average of just 75% of free cash flow in 2009-11
to an estimated 95% in 2014 driven by aggressive share buyback programs
coupled with a high dividend payout. Intel, TI and Altera, for example, should
have payout ratios in excess of 125% in 2014, while Maxim and Analog Devices
have payout ratio targets of 80%. We believe secularly increasing payout ratios
should continue to help semiconductor stocks outperform the broader market, just
like last year.
• Embedded systems/IOT—a key growth area in semis. As more intelligence
and connectivity find their way into everyday applications (i.e., internet of
things), semiconductor content growth and market expansion opportunity should
drive growth for those companies that are driving leadership in microcontrollers,
connectivity, sensor, and datacenter silicon and platform development. We
estimate the embedded/IoT market to be a $35B market this year growing at an
11% CAGR over the next three years. We believe OW-rated BRCM (exposure to
datacenter, comm. networking, and connectivity), INTC (~98% share in
datacenter MPU), and TXN (~20% exposure to embedded) should benefit from
the rapid growth in embedded/IOT.
• Our top picks in semis—BRCM, INTC, TXN, XLNX and MRVL. Our top
picks in large-cap semis are BRCM, INTC, TXN, XLNX and MRVL as they
offer stable revenue growth and superior operating margin, FCF margin, payout
ratio expansion, and are market leaders in the segments they target. This note
contains a detailed investment thesis for each of our top picks.
• Also positive on semi capital equipment—AMAT, KLAC, and LRCX. The
current Moore’s Law–driven capex cycle should drive a favorable equipment
spending cycle for at least the next 24 months and be a tailwind for the semicap
equipment suppliers like KLAC, LRCX, and AMAT. This tailwind should afford
the semicap companies to focus on driving incremental investments in nextgeneration tool development, 450nm and EUV transitions, and still drive solid
gross, operating margin, and EPS growth over the next 18-24 months. See our
note Constructive 2015 Semicap Spending Environment; Reiterate OW on AMAT,
KLAC, and LRCX, Sur et al., September 23, 2014.
• Downgrading ADI and ONNN to Neutral. We are downgrading Analog
Devices and ON Semi from Overweight to Neutral as our OW-rated thesis
has not played out and ONNN is within 5% of our price target. ADI has
underperformed in 2013 and thus far in 2014, and our expectation for
increasing leverage has not materialized.

The history of the chemical industry in North America is a history of higher growth,
financial return and increasing specialization. Sherwin-Williams, PPG, Monsanto,
and Praxair were all conglomerates or parts of conglomerates that focused their
business portfolios to more intently focus in specific market areas, whether the areas
be paints and coatings, industrial gases, agricultural seed technology, or industrial
gases. The intellectual challenges facing CEOs are now substantially larger because
of the globalization of industry, higher regulatory demands, technological innovation
and the designs and management of appropriate incentive structures. These strenuous
demands and increasing business complexity make it more difficult for
conglomerates to be effectively managed. Accordingly, the Trian suggestion that
DuPont and its shareholders would gain from increased specialization and the
division of DuPont into a Life Sciences and Agricultural entity and a basic industries
company is a natural one, in our view. The vision of DuPont’s management is
different. DuPont believes that synergies in research, revenue, costs, and taxes stem
from DuPont’s conglomerate structure. Following the publication of the Trian letter
to DuPont’s board, DuPont’s management is now in the position of having to defend
and fortify its vision of the company through its financial returns. Current
management is likely to work to justify DuPont’s organizational structure, or the
structure will be replaced by a new one. The DuPont shareholder has the luxury of
testing both visions.
• We have raised our rating on DuPont to Overweight (from Neutral).
DuPont’s businesses are good free cash flow generating entities as the
company is configured currently. There are earnings risks near term due to
the weakness in the Euro, some slowing of offshore economic growth in Asia
and in Europe, and from the decrease in North and South American farmer
income due to lower grain prices. A weaker shorter-term business
performance may place pressure on the DuPont share price. However, we
think that these risks are probably more than offset by the benefits of the
progressive rationalization of DuPont’s business model to increasing return
and free cash flow generation as the company decides how it will make its
way as a corporate entity: whether as a conglomerate or as a number of
smaller and more focused entities. We lifted our December 2015 price target
for DuPont from $67 to $75. DuPont’s current free cash flow yield for 2016
is 6.7%. Our price target of $75 assumes a 6.2% free cash flow yield.

In this note, we briefly refresh our outlook on each packaged food company we cover
(ex-CPB, which reports today) and migrate our price targets to December 2015 from
December 2014. Though they have outperformed their peers of late, we remain
Overweight HAIN and WWAV, which we think will continue to benefit over time
from healthy eating trends. We also remain constructive on MJN, for which we think
2015 estimates need to rise, and MDLZ for the long term on the margin story. We
remain less sanguine on some of the slower-growth names.
• ConAgra (CAG – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price target of $35
(implies ~12% TSR upside). Our main concern with CAG – besides that it’s a
bit of a show-me story – is that a new CEO will be replacing Gary Rodkin at the
end of the fiscal year (May 2015). The CEO has yet to be selected. It is our
experience that, often, new CEOs in the packaged food space like to start their
tenures by re-basing earnings lower, partially in an effort to enable growth. This
said, we think the worst is likely over for ConAgra, which has experienced a
number of unique challenges over the last two years. Indeed, based on our
increased comfort that Consumer Foods will stabilize, Commercial Foods will
improve with lower potato costs, and Private Brands will see a slight
improvement, we are raising our estimates. It seems to us that CAG’s efforts to
discontinue slower-turning Healthy Choice SKUs are starting to pay off with
“less bad” velocities and an improved overall mix. We are boosting our estimates
as follows: FY15 to $2.31 from $2.22 (consensus $2.25), and FY16 to $2.47 from
$2.36 (consensus $2.39). We also introduce FY17E at $2.56 (consensus $2.59).
• General Mills (GIS – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price target of
$54 (implies ~4% TSR upside). At Mills’ investor day in July, we were
fortunate to be seated at a lunch table with Jeff Harmening, the new head of US
Retail, and we came away impressed. When asked how he would describe his
style, he said, “I am a simplifier,” and emphasized his desire to bring Mills back
to basics (evidence of this perhaps can be found in cereal, where Mills is
spending more on core varieties of Cheerios, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Trix).
We long have hoped food companies would take this approach, and thus we are
glad to see Mills push harder on its biggest, often higher-margin products such as
yellow-box Cheerios. As for the present, we are less optimistic, with Nielsen Co.
data pointing to softer velocities in cereal and yogurt, along with some potential
mix deterioration. We maintain our FY15 ($3.04 vs. consensus $3.02) and FY16
($3.22, in line with the Street) estimates and introduce FY17E at $3.44
(consensus $3.44).
• Hain Celestial (HAIN – Overweight) – Establishing December 2015 price
target of $113 (implies ~15% TSR upside). We do not think growth of betterfor-you food is running out of steam. In fact, we think grocers such as Kroger
(KR – Overweight) will continue to add natural and organic products to its
shelves at quick rates over the next few years. This distribution expansion should
keep benefitting companies like HAIN for the foreseeable future. To be
conservative, we assume that HAIN’s organic growth rate decelerates from the
high-single digits last year to 7% in 2016 and 6% in 2017. But for 2015 we are
confident that growth will remain in the high-single digits (we model +8.6%) and
that the company is ideally positioned to grow with demand. Some margin
improvement from bringing production in house, etc., should not hurt, either. We
appreciate that the HAIN shares are relatively expensive, at nearly 26x NTM
13

North America Equity Research
06 October 2014
EBITDA. We do not think this multiple is necessarily sustainable, and thus we
apply a discount when we value the stock (we use 24x P/E and 14x
EV/EBITDA). Given HAIN’s extraordinary growth – EPS are up 200%+ since
FY10 – we do not have a problem putting a substantial premium on the shares
versus packaged food as a group. With much slower-growth companies (e.g.,
CAG, CPB) sporting EV/EBITDA multiples at 10x or above, 14x does not seem
unreasonable for HAIN, in our view.
• Hershey (HSY – Overweight) – Establishing December 2015 price target of
$104 (implies ~18% TSR upside). Last week, CFO Dave Tacka surprisingly
announced his plan to retire at the end of 2014. Though we appreciate that Mr.
Tacka is in his 60s and seems to be leaving on relatively amicable terms (he is not
leaving until the end of the year), our experience tells us that sudden and
unexpected departures like this seldom indicate positive news on the horizon. Mr.
Tacka has been CFO for little more than a year, which perhaps makes his
departure even more surprising. That said, if the company brings in a new CFO
willing to potentially utilize the balance sheet a bit more aggressively, over the
long term a change may be a positive for the stock. As for fundamentals, we
appreciate that the days of high-single-digit organic sales growth are probably in
the past. And we recognize that management’s decisions to slow ad spending and
bring back limited editions (thus dredging up memories of poorly executed
“innovation” of yesteryear) did not resonate well with investors, understandably.
That said, we want to keep some of the negativity in perspective. Advertising
spending remains very high on an absolute basis, there is literally only one
limited edition being produced, and the timing of the year puts innovation-driven
sales growth into the back half, in contrast to most years when new products are
front-half loaded. With the EBITDA multiple now at an attractive 12.2x, we think
the risk/reward is favorable. We maintain our FY14E EPS of $4.05 (consensus
$4.06). We raise FY15E to $4.48 from $4.43 to reflect the potential for lower
milk (consensus $4.48). We introduce FY16E at $4.87 (consensus $4.93).
• J.M. Smucker Co. (SJM – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price
target of $110 (implies ~10% TSR upside). Keurig 2.0 is finally out – it feels as
though we’d been hearing about it for years – and the reviews we have seen are
mixed. PCMag: “If it can recognize what cup I’m brewing, then why do I have to
press a button that tells it Hot Cocoa/Other?... If you’re already satisfied with
your current machine, and don’t need the ability to brew a carafe, there’s little
reason to upgrade to the K500. But if you enjoy the controlled simplicity of
single-serve brewing, and want the ability to brew a pot of coffee just as easily,
the Keurig 2.0 K500 will likely make you happy.” CNET: “An upgrade that
might leave you bitter… With fewer brands to choose from, Keurig 2.0 is more
restrictive than the last generation, and the K500 doesn’t do much to make up for
it. As upgrades go, this one doesn’t make sense.” Perhaps more importantly,
many reader comments seem particularly negative about the incompatibility
between 2.0 and legacy K-Cups. If 2.0 disappoints – and it is far too early to say
it will; we are just pointing out some early hurdles – it likely would not be a
positive for SJM, in our view. We reduce 2Q15E to $1.62 from $1.64 (consensus
$1.66) to reflect our hesitation about coffee volumes in a higher price environment.
We lower FY15E to $5.94 from $5.97 (consensus $6.02) for the same reason.
• Kellogg (K – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price target of $65
(implies ~4% TSR upside). Though we appreciate Kellogg’s cost-savings effort
and think it may bear some fruit, we cannot help but observe that the
company’s distribution points have started to slip in measured channels, perhaps
the result of too many years of eroding velocity. Also the company’s innovation
efforts do not seem to be helping as much as they used to. We hope that as 2015
approaches, a (potentially) more rational pricing environment in food helps

companies like Kellogg benefit from some lower costs for corn, etc. We reduce
3Q14E to $0.91 from $0.93 (consensus $0.92) to reflect continued softness in
measured retail-level data. 2014E goes to $3.92 from $3.96 (consensus 3.92) and
2015E to $4.13 from $4.20 (consensus $4.13). We introduce 2016E at $4.38
(consensus $4.40).
• Kraft (KRFT – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price target of $62
(implies ~11% TSR upside). Though we believe the top line will continue to
face its challenges, and we are not comfortable with the current multiples (e.g.,
11.3x NTM EBITDA), we appreciate why the KRFT shares have done well lately
(+9.8% vs. SPX +4.0% since 7/31/14). With the 10-year Treasury now at 2.46%,
yield is an increasingly scarce commodity. KRFT’s 3.6% yield is one of the best
in the group. Unless fundamentals weaken materially or the entire packaged food
sector goes out of favor, we think KRFT’s multiples can remain elevated until
interest rates increase. We raise 2014E by a penny to $3.13 (Bloomberg
consensus $3.16) and 2015E by $0.03 to $3.43 (consensus $3.42) in part to
reflect much cheaper pork belly prices of late, as well as slightly improved data
in Nielsen Co.-measured channels. We introduce 2016E at $3.65, $0.01 above
consensus.
• McCormick (MKC – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price target of
$68 (implies ~1% TSR upside). The Street expects EPS growth to accelerate
from 3.1% and 4.9% in FY13 and FY14, respectively, to 8.2% and 8.3% in FY15
and FY16. These growth rates seem aggressive to us, especially since FY14
benefits from M&A while future years do not (pending further M&A). While we
remain impressed with the company’s efforts overseas, the slowdown in domestic
consumption of MKC-branded spices concerns us. We recently visited a number
of “alternative” retailers in the Southeast US (WFM, TFM, SFM) and the absence
of MKC-branded spices seemed notable to us.
• Mead Johnson (MJN – Overweight) – Establishing December 2015 price
target of $107 (implies ~12% TSR upside). We think management is being
overly conservative about the dairy cost headwind. The company last week
played down the potential for dairy to be a tailwind in 2015, saying, “Current
milk prices in other regions have not dropped by the same extent as we’ve seen in
New Zealand. In fact, our experience is that such dramatic peaks and valleys
often overshoot and quickly revert to their longer-term mean.” Let us examine
both of these statements. First, though it technically is true that European powder
is not down as much as Oceana powder, the difference in Y/Y trends is not
particularly meaningful – all non-US powder is down by a significant degree. We
think US non-fat dry milk soon will follow, too. Second, the Y/Y change in
Oceana whole milk powder is steep but well within a standard deviation of the
typical Y/Y change over the last nearly 20 years. So we do not think the current
decline is abnormal or has overshot in any tangible way yet.
• MondelÄ“z (MDLZ – Overweight) – Establishing December 2015 price target
of $43 (implies ~23% TSR upside). Lost in the recent top-line disappointment
has been a very good margin progression; the EBIT margin improved by 130 bps
Y/Y in 1Q14 and 120 bps Y/Y in 2Q14. This performance increases our
confidence in further margin upside. Will it get to 15-16% in 2016 without much
revenue growth? Probably not, but with the stock at 12.7x EV/EBITDA – not a
great deal above companies like GIS (11.3x) and KRFT (11.3x) that we think
have less “juice” in their growth trajectories – we think the longer-term
risk/reward remains favorable. That said, though we maintain 2014E at $1.67
(consensus $1.69), we reduce 2015E and 2016E a bit to account for additional
FX pressure and continued category struggles.

• TreeHouse (THS – Neutral) – Establishing December 2015 price target of
$87 (implies ~7% TSR upside). As we have discussed previously, we do not
think calendar 3Q or 4Q14 will see much relief from what has been a somewhat
irrational level of promo spending across packaged food. But we do expect that
early in 2015 the tide may turn and some manufacturers will become more
rational on pricing. This would make sense given how ineffective the current
environment has been. In a more rational promo environment, we think private
label would benefit, not only because price gaps may widen, but also because
consumers may not be visually bombarded as often by displays offering branded
products for sale. Private label’s share of total food has declined at the same time
that branded food offers more discounts. Note that our estimates had not been
updated since the company reported earnings last month. We raise 2014E to
$3.69 from $3.67 (consensus $3.72) and decrease 2015E to $4.27 from $4.29
(consensus $4.31). We introduce 2016E at $4.60 (consensus $4.76).
• WhiteWave (WWAV – Overweight) – Establishing December 2015 price
target of $39 (implies ~11% TSR upside). Last week, WWAV filed an 8-K that
perhaps flew a bit under the radar. The company’s revolver now can increase to
5.0x net debt-to-EBITDA (previously 4.5x) in the event of an acquisition. This
should leave WWAV with ~$1B capacity at the end of this year, in our view, and
it gives us hope that further M&A may be afoot. As for fundamentals, though
overall numbers look good, we are getting a bit cautious on near-term trends for
the Silk brand. Nielsen-measured volumes have decelerated meaningfully from
the high-single-digit range to +1.7% in the 12 weeks ended 8/2/14. We think

Analyst Certification: The research analyst(s) denoted by an “AC” on the cover of this report certifies (or, where multiple research
analysts are primarily responsible for this report, the research analyst denoted by an “AC” on the cover or within the document
individually certifies, with respect to each security or issuer that the research analyst covers in this research) that: (1) all of the views
expressed in this report accurately reflect his or her personal views about any and all of the subject securities or issuers; and (2) no part of
any of the research analyst's compensation was, is, or will be directly or indirectly related to the specific recommendations or views
expressed by the research analyst(s) in this report. For all Korea-based research analysts listed on the front cover, they also certify, as per
KOFIA requirements, that their analysis was made in good faith and that the views reflect their own opinion, without undue influence or
intervention.
Research excerpts: This note includes excerpts from previously published research. For access to the full reports, including analyst
certification and important disclosures, investment thesis, valuation methodology, and risks to rating and price targets, please contact your
salesperson or the covering analyst’s team or visit www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
Important Disclosures
Company-Specific Disclosures: Important disclosures, including price charts, are available for compendium reports and all J.P. Morgan–
covered companies by visiting https://jpmm.com/research/disclosures, calling 1-800-477-0406, or e-mailing
research.disclosure.inquiries@jpmorgan.com with your request. J.P. Morgan’s Strategy, Technical, and Quantitative Research teams may
screen companies not covered by J.P. Morgan. For important disclosures for these companies, please call 1-800-477-0406 or e-mail
research.disclosure.inquiries@jpmorgan.com.
Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is
compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear
in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research
website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
