2013年美国所有研究Team: Chemicals, No. 3: P.J. Juvekar
Finishing in third place, down one rung from the past two years, is Citi’s P.J. Juvekar.
Finishing in third place, down one rung from the past two years, Citi’sP.J. Juvekaris hailed for his ability to “discern themes and how they affect the longer-term prospects of companies,” as one portfolio manager puts it. In July 2012 he resumed coverage of Eastman Chemical Co. with a buy recommendation, at $49.72, citing its acquisition that month of St. Louis–based Solutia, which increased Eastman’s exposure to the Asia-Pacific and specialty-chemicals markets. Through August 2013 shares of the Kingsport, Tennessee–based adhesives and plastics maker leaped 52.9 percent, to $76, and he continues to favor them. Juvekar’s current top pick is LyondellBasell Industries, a Netherlands-headquartered plastics and fuels producer whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange. He upgraded the stock from hold to buy in May, at $61.55, partly on the company’s free cash flow generation and share buybacks. At the end of August, the it was up 14.8 percent, to $70.15. —Ben Mattlin |
