The Moodie Reportfolio: Dufry South America turns in stellar share performance in May – 05/06/08

INTERNATIONAL. Dufry South America produced the best performance among the stocks in The Moodie Reportfolio in May 2008.

Buoyed by a +63% rise in its net income for the first quarter of 2008 (to US$15.3 million compared with US$9.4 million in Q1 2007), the company saw the total value of its shares (in US Dollars) rise by +14.0% in May over the previous month.

The total value of shares (in US Dollars) in The Moodie Reportfolio decreased by -0.5% in May. Overall The Moodie Reportfolio has decreased by -16.9% since it was launched on 1 August 2007. This is largely due to the deterioration in financial markets, driven by the US sub-prime crisis.

At the beginning of August 2007 The Moodie Report invested a hypothetical US$10,000 – or local currency at prevailing exchange rates – in 13 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.
