The Moodie Reportfolio: Lotte Shopping Company turns in outstanding performance for April – 09/05/08

INTERNATIONAL. Lotte Shopping Company posted the best performance among the stocks in the Moodie Reportfolio in April.

Buoyed by a +32% rise in its net income for the first quarter to KW227 billion (US$229 million) in the January-March period, the South Korean company saw the total value of its shares (in US dollars) rise by +20.8% in April over the previous month.

The total value of shares (in US dollars) in the Moodie Reportfolio decreased by -26.3% in April, largely due to the stock split for Egypt’s Misr Duty Free Shops. Overall The Moodie Reportfolio has decreased by -22.6% since the service was launched on 1 August 2007, largely due to the financial markets deterioration driven by the US sub-prime crisis.

On 1 August 2007 The Moodie Report invested a hypothetical US$10,000 – or local currency at prevailing exchange rates – in 14 travel retail-related stocks. Some are pure duty free/travel retail companies, some are parent or related groups. The resultant basket of stocks is The Moodie Reportfolio.

The stocks are:

– Autogrill (Aldeasa, Alpha, HMSHost)
– Bahrain Duty Free Shops
– Dufry
– Dufry South America
– Ferrovial (BAA)
– Hellenic DFS
– Japan Airport Terminal Co
– Jordanian Duty Free Shops
