Ventas comparables de restaurantes McDonald's superan estimaciones en 3er trimestre

(Reuters) - La facturación del McDonald's Corp cobró impulso en el último trimestre, ya que las ventas comparables de sus restaurantes superaron las estimaciones del mercado y provocaron un alza de 3,6 por ciento en sus acciones antes de la apertura de sesión en Wall Street.

Las ventas globales de los restaurantes abiertos por al menos 13 meses subieron 3,5 por ciento en el trimestre finalizado el 30 de septiembre. Analistas encuestados por la firma Consensus Metrix esperaban un incremento de 1,5 por ciento.

La cadena estadounidense de comida rápida reportó una ganancia neta de 1.280 millones de dólares, o 1,50 dólares por acción, en el tercer trimestre, que se compara con una utilidad de 1.310 millones de dólares, o 1,40 dólares por papel, registrados en el mismo periodo del año anterior.

La compañía reportó 87,1 millones de acciones menos en el trimestre, frente al mismo periodo del año previo.

Precios de viviendas chinas trepan en septiembre a ritmo más acelerado desde que hay registros

PEKÍN (Reuters) - Los precios de las viviendas chinas aumentaron en septiembre a su ritmo más acelerado desde que hay registros, luego de que los compradores se apresuraron a cerrar contratos antes de que unas nuevas medidas restrictivas entraran en vigor en octubre.

Los precios promedio de las casas nuevas en 70 ciudades principales de China subieron un 11,2 por ciento en septiembre frente al mismo mes del año previo, lo que representa una aceleración frente al incremento de un 9,2 por ciento en agosto, mostró el viernes una encuesta de la Oficina Nacional de Estadísticas.

Las ciudades de segundo nivel también registraron el mayor crecimiento interanual de precios en septiembre.

Hefei, capital de la provincia de Anhui, en el centro de China, vio la recuperación más destacada de los valores, con una subida interanual de un 46,8 por ciento, acelerando desde el aumento de un 40,3 por ciento en agosto.

La ciudad costera de Xiamen, en el sureste de China, que tuvo el mayor alza en agosto, registró un aumento récord de los precios de un 46,5 por ciento, por encima del 43,8 por ciento del mes anterior.

El mercado inmobiliario, que representa alrededor del 15 por ciento del Producto Interno Bruto, se ha convertido en un importante motor de crecimiento económico este año en medio de un auge de la construcción, las ventas y los precios de las casas.

Este repunte de la actividad del sector ha contribuido generosamente a la expansión económica de un 6,7 por ciento en el tercer trimestre, compensando la pérdida de impulso de unas exportaciones alicaídas y una inversión privada ralentizada.

Ganancia de Mercedes ayuda a compensar por caída ventas camiones de Daimler en 3er trimestre

FRÁNCFORT (Reuters) - La menguante demanda de camiones de Daimler llevó a la compañía a recortar su perspectiva de ventas para este año, restándole brillo a un incremento de la ganancia operativa del tercer trimestre impulsada por márgenes más altos de los autos de lujo de Mercedes-Benz.

Daimler advirtió el viernes que ahora espera que las ventas del grupo permanezcan planas, retrocediendo desde un pronóstico previo de un leve incremento en la facturación. Sin embargo, la ganancia del grupo para todo el año sigue camino a exceder levemente los niveles de 2015.

Las acciones operaban 1,5 por ciento más bajas a las 1151 GMT, mientras analistas dijeron que la acción de la compañía con sede en Stuttgart podría haber limitado el potencial al alza en un mercado cada vez más nervioso.

Las ganancias de Daimler antes de intereses e impuestos (EBIT), ajustadas por ítems especiales, treparon a 4.010 millones de euros (4.370 millones de dólares) en los tres meses a septiembre, por encima de los 3.800 millones de euros previstos en un sondeo de Reuters, principalmente gracias a una mejora en los márgenes en la división de autos de Mercedes-Benz.

Daimler dijo que el EBIT en su división de autos de Mercedes-Benz subió un 23 por ciento, impulsada por un aumento del 11 por ciento en las ventas de coches después del lanzamiento de la nueva clase-E y una continua fuerte demanda para vehículos utilitarios deportivos.

Los retornos de la división sobre las ventas, ajustados a ítems especiales, subieron al 11,4 por ciento. Mercedes quiere superar al rival alemán BMW para convertirse en la automotriz con mayores ventas de autos de lujo.

AT&T Is in Advanced Talks to Acquire Time Warner

Deal could happen as early as this weekend

By Keach Hagey, Amol Sharma, Dana Cimilluca and Thomas Gryta Updated Oct. 21, 2016 12:01 p.m. ET

AT&T Inc. is in advanced talks to acquire Time Warner Inc., according to people familiar with the matter, a deal that would create a new hallmark in the rapidly converging realms of media, communications and the internet.

A deal, which could happen as early as this weekend, would unite AT&T’s portfolio of wireless, broadband and satellite TV services with Time Warner’s entertainment empire, which includes cable networks such as TNT, TBS, CNN, the coveted premium channel HBO, and the Warner Bros. film and TV studio.

The talks toward what likely would be a cash-and-stock deal have come together quickly, are fluid and still could fall through, according to people familiar with the matter. An agreement also could be delayed, they said.

Time Warner shares rose 9.6% to $90.94 in late-morning trading after The Wall Street Journal reported the advanced talks, white AT&T fell 2.6%.

A merger of the companies would be the most ambitious marriage of content and distribution in the media and telecom industries since Comcast Corp. ’s 2011 purchase of NBCUniversal and would create a behemoth to rival that cable giant. A transaction would be far and away the biggest media deal of recent years. Time Warner has a market capitalization of $71 billion, while AT&T’s was $231.7 billion.

A deal likely would get intense regulatory scrutiny. Regulators have showed misgivings about the Comcast-NBCU deal—in particular, whether obligations placed on Comcast were enforceable—so it’s unclear if they will be willing to entertain another such merger.

ENLARGE

A sale of Time Warner to AT&T would have echoes of the blockbuster 2000 AOL-Time Warner merger—then the largest deal of all time. That was a different bet on a converged media future, one in which AOL’s internet service would have complemented and boosted Time Warner’s content. But the merger ultimately proved a failure, hurt by the unraveling of the dot-com boom, a clash of cultures and poor assumptions about the way each business could help the other.

Dallas-based AT&T, led by Chief Executive Randall Stephenson, has been reshaping its strategy in recent years, as the U.S. cellular business became saturated and years of consolidation in that sector left no room for major deals. AT&T’s attempt to buy T-Mobile was killed by regulators in 2011.

Instead, AT&T turned to video, with the nearly $50 billion acquisition of DirecTV last year, instantly making it the biggest player in pay television. That pay TV business faces headwinds as more consumers cut the cord or look to trim their monthly bills, with streaming services providing new competition in the marketplace.

With its newfound scale, AT&T spent the past year aggressively negotiating deals with content companies, with plans to launch an over-the-top video service by year’s end. Owning Time Warner could offer AT&T a new lane to pursue growth and bring assets that would help along those streaming media ambitions.

For AT&T, the deal would eclipse DirecTV and may be the biggest deal since paying $85 billion for BellSouth in 2006. With $117.3 billion in long-term debt at the end of June, a Time Warner deal could give the company the world’s largest balance sheet with debt hitting almost $200 billion, according to analysts at New Street Research. The issuance of new stock, a common move in AT&T’s deal making, increase its total dividend costs, above the almost $12 billion in current annual payouts.

Bloomberg reported Thursday that senior executives of AT&T and Time Warner had met in recent weeks to hold preliminary discussions on various business strategies, including a possible merger.

Sixteen years since the AOL-Time Warner deal, much has changed, and the mashup of mobile, broadband and TV that has long been anticipated has been taking shape quickly. Consumers are streaming shows on phones and tablets, signing up for TV services without a connection from a traditional cable or satellite provider, and doing much of their media consumption on social media platforms such as Facebook.

Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes has positioned his company as a pure content player in recent years, spinning off AOL as well as the Time Warner Cable pay-TV unit and the Time Inc. magazine-publishing division.

In 2014, Mr. Bewkes fought off an unsolicited takeover bid from Rupert Murdoch’s 21st Century Fox, indicating AT&T wanted a far higher price than the initial roughly $80 billion offer that was on the table. (21st Century Fox and Wall Street Journal-owner News Corp share common ownership.)

People close to Time Warner signaled at the time that the company would prefer to test the marketplace more broadly—and potentially see if big tech or telecom players had interest down the road. At the time, AT&T was busy digesting its DirecTV acquisition, so it wasn’t a potential buyer.

Mr. Bewkes has used the intervening time to try to persuade Wall Street he could run Time Warner effectively as a stand-alone outfit in a media world where a few distribution giants are achieving enormous scale.

To answer the concern that Netflix and other streaming services are appealing to cord-cutters and people who never sign up for cable in the first place, he launched the HBO Now streaming service, which had nearly a million subscribers as of March. Time Warner also carried out cost cuts and layoffs and continued big content investments.

Among media players, Time Warner is attractive to AT&T in part because it doesn’t have a big shareholder with effective control and because it is relatively well-positioned for a media world where cable TV distributors want to carry skinnier bundles of channels. Time Warner has only a few major networks—some of which, like TNT and TBS, carry high-value sports content—compared to companies that have a host of channels with small audiences.

Acquiring Time Warner also would get AT&T further into the streaming business with Hulu. Time Warner bought a 10% stake in Hulu in August, joining Walt Disney Co. , 21st Century Fox and Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal as an owner in the $5.8 billion video service. AT&T also is launching a DirecTV online service aimed at selling a robust package of TV channels.
