In Springview Capital Management’s Q2 2023 letter, FEMSA (FMX, Financial) was highlighted for its strategic restructuring efforts aimed at enhancing shareholder value. The company’s focus on core assets and divestment of non-core holdings is expected to unlock significant value for investors.
"Mexico-based FEMSA (which stands for “Fomento Economico Mexicano, S.A.B. de C.V.”) is controlled by several Monterrey families but trades primarily under an ADR in New York with Bill Gates (Trades, Portfolio)’ family office Cascade Investment being the largest outside shareholder. This year, FMX’s controlling families have embarked on a radical transformation of the holding company structure. After a decade of share price stagnation, their explicit aim is to improve investor perception and market valuation. The company recently sold its minority stakes in Heineken and a restaurant supply business for combined gross proceeds of ~$9 billion. It has earmarked other noncore assets for sale, which could fetch an additional ~$3-4 billion." — Springview Capital Management, Q2 2023 Fund Letter
