		<description><![CDATA[The leading consumer brands company Fortune Brands Inc. (FO) announced that following the spin-off of its Home &#38; Security business, the separated companies will trade under two different symbols as independent entities on the New York Stock Exchange. Post spin-off, the Fortune Brands Home &#38; Security business is proposed to be traded under the symbol ‘FBHS’ while the spirit business will be rechristened Beam Inc. and will replace the current “FO” symbol with “BEAM”. The company believes that the ticker symbol “BEAM” is the most appropriate, and will surely strike a resonant chord with investors and consumers alike, as it reflects the company’s name, its flagship brand, and a legacy of premium spirits that is internationally renowned. Recently, Fortune Brands announced its intention to split the company into three standalone ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The world’s largest spirits group, Diageo Plc. (DEO), got approval of the Chinese authorities to increase its stake in the Quanxing Group, a Chinese white spirits group based in Sichuan Province, taking its share to 53 per cent. On being the majority shareholder of Quanxing Group (which is 40% holder of Sichuan Swellfun Co.) Diageo gets the indirect control of Shuijingfang, the signature brand of Sichuan Swellfun. Shuijingfang is a famous brand of baijiu, a fiery spirit, which boasts being China’s oldest and uses distilling techniques that dates back to the 14th century. Baijiu that accounts for 32% of China&#8217;s alcoholic drinks market, reported 13% higher sales from the previous year, is about 45 times bigger than the Chinese market for whisky. Upon completion of the deal, Diageo would be ]]></description>

(MCD), announced that it is being acquired by a private investment firm 3G Capital for $24 per share, or $4.0 billion Incorporatedluding the debt of the company.

		<description><![CDATA[Burger King Holdings Inc. (BKC) shares jumped 16.7% to $19.19 on Wednesday pre-market trading, on the news that the company is in talks with potential buyers. The two interested parties can be a British private-equity firm 3i Group Plc, and a private investment firm 3G Capital Management. One potential candidate 3i Group Plc confirmed that it is not in discussion with the Miami-based company Burger King. However, the status of the talks is unclear with the other suitor and Burger King has not yet commented on this issue. Till date, market capitalization of Burger King is $2.6 billion while its enterprise value is $3.2 billion. Founded in 1954, the company is not new to private equity takeover. In 2002, Burger King was acquired by private equity funds controlled by TPG Capital, ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We are downgrading our recommendation on Diageo Plc. (DEO) to Underperform from Neutral as we anticipate it to perform well below the broader market. The global economic downturn has negatively impacted demand for Diageo&#8217;s premium offerings, thereby affecting both top- and bottom-line performance. Moreover, the company is facing intense competition from other well-established players, which are aggressively expanding their presence through mergers and acquisitions. Further, exposure to seasonal fluctuations and adverse foreign currency translations also undermine the company&#8217;s future growth prospects and profitability. Diageo&#8217;s ADR is trading at a discount to the peer group, based on forward earnings estimates. Our long-term Underperform recommendation on the stock indicates that it would perform well below the broader market. Our target price of $64.00, 14.1X 2010 EPS, reflects this view.

		<description><![CDATA[by Tony Daltorio, Investment U Research Friday, January 29, 2010 Whether Wall Street analysts and individual investors know it or not, emerging market consumers have a growing appetite for quality goods, a fact that big name brands took notice of quite a while ago. Cadbury ADR (NYSE: CBY), for example, committed three years of research and development to creating the newest version of its Dairy Milk chocolate bar, which it recently unwrapped in Mumbai, India. By doing that, it directly combated the idea that emerging markets only care about cheap, made-to-measure products. As a Cadbury spokesperson aptly said: “There is a huge set of emerging consumers who want world class products.” The company knows that for a fact too, considering that it worked for years to gain control of almost ]]></description>
