    Six Flags bumps up dividend by a penny, to yield more than 7.4%

    Six Flags Entertainment Corp. said Monday it was raising its quarterly dividend to 83 cents a share from 82 cents, marking the 10th annual increase in the past 9 years. The theme park company's new dividend will be payable Dec. 9 to shareholders of record on Nov. 29. Based on Friday's stock closing price of $44.60, the new annual dividend rate of $3.32 a share implies a dividend yield of 7.44%, which is nearly 4-times the implied yield for the S&P 500 of 1.90%, according to FactSet. "We are committed to maintaining a healthy dividend and returning all remaining excess cash flow to shareholders in the form of share repurchases," said Chairman Richard Roedel. The stock, which slipped 0.5% in premarket trading, has dropped 20.6% over the past three months, while the S&P 500 has gained 8.0%.

This came a full day of intense, violent stand-off between protesters and police at a university city campus in Tsim Sha Tsui.However, some analysts said so long as there is no end game in sight on how the protest will end, property developers with sizable shopping malls portfolios in Hong Kong will continue to be weighed down by the political unrest.Battle for share of China's liquor market to intensify, Jefferies reports Competition in China's liquor market will intensify, with super premium brands gaining share, according to a new Jefferies report citing a liquor expert who is a distributor in southern China. "The expert is bullish on super premium liquor brands (retail price higher than Rmb600/bottle). Helped by their strong branding, super premium brands will continue to raise their retail prices, move up product mix, and deliver positive volume growth. The category is currently at Rmb120bn sales size and the expert forecasts it to achieve 20-25% growth next year," Jefferies writes."The expert expects competition to intensify between mid-high end liquor (retail price at Rmb300-600/bottle). Particularly, national mid-high end brands will see intensified competition with regional liquor leaders. Total demand for the segment will continue to expand, helped by consumers' trading up from low end; however, due to higher base, total growth might slow down in near term. The category is currently at Rmb50bn sales size and the expert forecasts it to achieve 20-25% growth next year," the analysts write.Liquor and beer stocks in China are posting losses today, according to a gauge by Xuanubao, falling 0.7 per cent and 1.2 per cent respectively. Kweichow Moutai (600519 CH) slipped 0.2 per cent to HK$1,222.96.Sofa maker Man Wah Holdings surges to over 15-month high after Citi upgradeShares of the sofa and mattress product maker rose to an over 15-month high, after Citi raised its target price to HK$6.80, saying the stock continues to remain on its China mid-cap top pick list, Bloomberg reported.The upgrade was driven by expected earning recovery in the fiscal year of 2021, due to a successful ramp up of its Vietnam factory, analyst Eric Lau wrote in a note. The new target price points to a 30 per cent upside from its close on last Friday.Man Wah (1999 HK) has shot up 8.6 per cent to HK$5.69, its highest price since end of July 2018.\-- Georgina Lee This article originally appeared in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), the most authoritative voice reporting on China and Asia for more than a century.

    Last month, the Fed began snatching up short-term Treasury debt to the tune of $60 billion per month in response to the repo mess that sent a chill through Wall Street back in September. While it might sound like another round of quantitative easing, Jerome Powell wanted to make it clear: It’s not. “In no sense is this QE,” he said. One blogger isn’t buying it.

    U.S., China Trade Negotiators Discuss Concerns of Phase One

    (Bloomberg) -- Terms of Trade is a daily newsletter that untangles a world embroiled in trade wars. Sign up here. U.S. and Chinese trade negotiators held “constructive discussions” in a phone call on Saturday to address each side’s core concerns of phase one of the trade deal.China’s Vice Premier Liu He, the country’s key negotiator in the trade talks with the U.S., spoke with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, according to the Chinese Commerce Ministry. The call was held at the request of the U.S. negotiators, and the two sides agreed to remain in close communication, it said in a statement.The phone call came after President Donald Trump’s administration signaled talks with China over the first phase of a broad trade agreement are entering the final stages. That’s when the most contentious and complex issues are debated, with no guarantee that another breakdown will be averted.White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow told reporters late Thursday in Washington that “we are coming down to the short strokes” and are “in communication with them every single day.” Still, he acknowledged a deal was close though “not done yet.”The last stages of trade agreements are often where talks break down, and Trump still hasn’t publicly indicated his approval. The two sides were close to concluding a pact about six months ago, only for the U.S. to claim that China backed away from verbal commitments when the time came to sign the deal.The two sides have held working-level video conferences focused on issues ranging from the details and timeline of Chinese purchases of U.S. agricultural goods such as pork and soybeans to commitments to curtail theft of intellectual property that Trump is demanding from China, according to people familiar with the discussions.U.S. stocks rose to all-time highs and Treasuries edged lower Friday following Kudlow’s comments. The S&P 500 reached another record and gained for the sixth week in a row, the longest streak in two years. Both the Dow Jones Industrial Average, which past 28,000 for the first time, and the Nasdaq Composite also hit all-time highs.The dialog on Saturday followed a phone call between the trade negotiators earlier this month, where the two countries signaled they’re getting closer to agreeing on the first phase of a deal aimed at reducing tensions in a trade war that’s slowed the global economy. The three spoke by phone at the time and separately released statements describing the call as “constructive.”See the States Where Trump Trade War Is Hammering China ExportsTo contact Bloomberg News staff for this story: Shawn Donnan in Washington at sdonnan@bloomberg.net;Winnie Zhu in Shanghai at wzhu4@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Matthew G.
