maria.bhatti@credit-suisse.com Technology materially reduces barriers to disrupt as it levels the playing
field both globally and across public and private markets (the number of
'unicorn' companies has risen sevenfold since 2011, with a valuation of
cUS$653bn).
A multipolar world is more likely with Brexit and President Trump,
increasing disruptive risk owing to heightened supply chain challenges. We
use Credit Suisse's PEERs supply chain tool to highlight stocks in the US
and UK that are most at risk from this.
Disruptive risk appears higher in Europe and for Pharma, Autos, Energy,
Retail and Insurance; we think it is lower in NJ-Asia and for Staples and
Real Estate. We identify and discuss regional outliers by sector.
Cheap 'Undisruptables' with high quality and momentum: We find 25
Outperform-rated companies globally including Reckitt Benckiser, Orange,
UnitedHealth, Vantiv, China Resources Gas, Murata and Sekisui House.
Expensive, with a risk of disruption and low quality: We highlight 20
companies globally, including AstraZeneca, Smith & Nephew, Netflix,
Falabella, Global Logistic Properties, Cathay Pacific, Eisai and Nomura.

Executive summary
Although disruption has been a constant factor through time, we note that the topic has
gained importance with investors as technology has allowed a range of new business
models to develop that threaten a wide range of incumbent industries and companies.

Figure 9: Examples of some disruptive technologies/services and impacted


industries
Disruptive Technology Old technology Period Comments
Steam engines Animal power 1698-1781 In 1698, the first steam engine had 1 horsepower (750W). First piston engine had 5
horsepower (3,700W) in 1712. In 1781, Rotary motion steam engine had nearly 10
horsepower (7,500W)
Railroads Canals 1810-50 Rail freight was around 60 times more efficient than canals in ton miles per day when
it became available
Light bulb Gas and oil lamps, 1879 Thomas Edison invented the first commercially practical incandescent lamp
candles
Assembly line Handicrafting 1913-14 Henry Ford introduced the assembly line. The introduction reduced Ford Model T
assembly time from 12 hours to about 90 minutes.
Photocopier Handwritting copy, 1959 Xerox 914, launched in 1959, could reproduce documents up to 9 inches by 14 inches
carbon paper, in size. It took about 15 seconds for the first copy to come out, and 7 seconds for
mimeograph each additional copy
Personal computer Typewriter 1975-1995 Personal computers started to become available to the public by late '70s to early
'80s. Household adoption rates in the US changed from 8.2% in 1984 to 22.8% in 1993.
DVD VHS/UMD 1995-2007 VHS/UMD represented 88% of home video sales in the US in 1999, compared to 8%
DVD sales. It took only 6 years for the share of DVD and VHS/UMD to nearly reverse,
with DVDs representing 87% and VHS/UMD 10% of home video sales in the US.
Online Video / Streaming DVDs/Blu-Ray 2004-Today In a similar way that DVDs took market share from old VHS technology, online video
and streaming are taking market share from physical home video sales. Digital media
represented only 5% of total home video sales in the US in 2005 vs. nearly 50% in 2015

Digital cameras Film cameras 1999-2010 Although not directly comparable, 35mm films have the equivalent pixel quality
somewhere between 4MP to 16MP. To put this in perspective, basic digital single-
lens reflex camera resolution starts at 24MP nowadays.
Smartphones Digital cameras 2007-Today The first built-in cell phone digital camera launched in 2000 was capable of taking 20
photos at 0.35 megapixels. The original iPhone was launched in 2007 and had a 2MP
camera, this compares with the current iPhone 6 camera which has 8MP of resolution

The Age of Disruption 2.0


In our original disruption report (The Age of Disruption), we discussed the risk that
Globalization, Regulation and Technological Innovation pose and provided stocks by
region and sector that according to our analysts were most or least exposed to these
factors. In this follow-up report, we re-emphasize the relevance of these disruptive drivers.
In addition, we have expanded the number of companies to c2,700 for which our analysts
have provided their view on disruptive risk to these forces, allowing us to make much more
granular conclusions by region and sector on relative risk.
Using conditional probability to assess where disruptive risk is mispriced
Disruption has already had an impact on many companies and business models; however,
we reapply the HOLT concept of conditional probability in order to assess where the
market continues to misprice disruptive risk. We find that valuation disparity is greatest
among those sectors that face above-average risk from disruption (Figure 12).
We highlight 25 companies globally that are Outperform-rated, have relatively low risk
from disruption and above-average quality and momentum characteristics (Figure 13). We
also list 20 companies we think investors should be cautious of. These are Neutral- or
Underperform-rated, appear have below-average conditional probability and below-
average quality characteristics (Figure 14).
Our analysis of recent performance statistics suggests that the market currently prefers
'undisruptable' cheap companies over expensive companies with high risk from potential
disruption.

Which factors impact different sectors


In Figure 15, we summarise the key disruptive developments that our analysts believe are
likely to impact their sector going forward. While a relatively wide range of factors can be
observed, we do find that competition, technological innovation and regulation are

Globalization: a changing landscape


In our initial report, under the heading of globalization and associated risks, we highlighted
China's development as a key source of "macro disruption". We met with some skepticism
amongst investors, with a typical response often being "Intellectual Property is developed
in the West, especially the US, and it is unlikely that companies in China or other emerging
markets will be able to replicate this any time soon."
We think that this view remains too complacent. The following developments demonstrate
that China's competitive threat in particular is likely to become greater going forward. (We
also refer to a publication from our Chinese research team published in October:
Ecosystem of Innovation and Technology in China.)
However, an added question to this story does need to be considered and with it brings a
potentially new source of disruption to consider. While China and emerging markets as a
whole were seen purely as a source of growth for Western economies and companies to
exploit, the benefits of the globalization it reflected were not being questioned. With the
tables being turned, the political climate is clearly changing. While not a central view, we
do have to flag the growing risks stemming from the anti-trade rhetoric now growing,
particularly in the US.

China to be the biggest global R&D spender by 2020


In 2015 China spent cUS$373bn on R&D. While 25% less than total R&D spending in the
US, it actually means that China already spends more on R&D than Japan, Germany and
South Korea (3rd, 4th and 5th largest spenders globally) combined.
China's total spending on R&D as a share of GDP has increased from 1% in 2000 to more
than 2% in 2015. The government's target for R&D spending is to reach 2.5% of GDP by
2020. Assuming nominal GDP growth of 7.5% for 2016-2020, this implies that China's
R&D spending is set to increase by c73% and likely to surpass the US by 2020.

Funding and focus of Chinese R&D is government-driven


Although overall R&D spending is set to continue to grow strongly in China, we do note
that the potential threat that China poses for Western companies is likely to be limited
mostly to the longer-term focus areas chosen by the Chinese government. This can be
seen for example by the fact that China's academic research footprint has been much
more geared towards engineering than towards medical publications (a focus area of
many Western countries).

Another factor worth considering when assessing the potential competitive or innovative
threat from developing countries is the fact that their focus tends to be more on applied
sciences rather than more fundamental research. In the case of China for example we
note that its investment into basic research as a share of total R&D spending is roughly a
third of that of the US, UK, France and Korea.

Industries that are likely to see greatest government support


In trying to identify those industries that are most likely to be impacted by Chinese
innovation, we highlight two sets of government targets.
In its 'Made in China 2025' plan, the Chinese government has outlined clear goals that
suggest a move from low skill to smart manufacturing.
In addition, the 'Made in China 2025' plan also highlights a number of key end markets
on which the Chinese government is focused. It is likely that companies and industries
related to these will receive strong support and research funding in the short to medium
term in order to meet the 2025 targets.

Against the background of these government targets, it is not surprising to find that
academic focus in terms of programmes and projects is set to remain geared towards
relevant related areas until 2030. This clearly suggests that China if anything is likely to
become a more significant competitor to Western firms in the future.

Key industries that China might eventually dominate


In addition to the more top-down-driven Chinese sectors that are likely to become global
leaders through increased innovation and R&D (Figure 22), we also highlight the global
end markets that our Chinese Equity Research team believes will be dominated by
Chinese companies in the medium to long term.

These are:
Biotech: Our analysts believe that China's large domestic market, favourable
regulatory environment and strong government support provide the necessary
framework for further development.
Big Data / Artificial Intelligence: China's strong growth and development of internet
and mobile usage and applications provides the backdrop for strong growth in
investments related to IT areas such as Big Data and AI.
IoT: The reasons for our China analysts' positive view as a potentially dominant force
in Internet of Things related products and services include the fact that China is the
world's largest internet hardware manufacturing hub and internet usage base.
New Energy: Strong government support including subsidies has allowed R&D into
Electric Vehicles to grow strongly. Our analysts expect this to continue, not least owing
to environmental and energy supply/demand challenges faced by China.
Nuclear: China's need to balance its growing demand for energy with incremental
sources has allowed it to become the larger developer of nuclear facilities globally.
The table below highlights the Chinese companies that our local analysts believe appear
well placed to drive development and innovation in each of these end markets.

Globalization running out of steam?


To some extent, the "macro-disruptor" that China represents is a natural progression up
the value curve for a developing economy. It has its own huge end market to help it build
scale for its investment. However, we think it would be incorrect to suggest that it's playing
and trading on an equal playing field in every respect, as we have highlighted in our
previous research on the topic. Regulatory goal posts have been shifted for overseas
companies operating in China, with explicit state support for local businesses and ring-
fenced national champions coinciding with often ad hoc interventions into foreign
companies. Pricing has often been aggressive to build market share abroad or simply to
export excess capacity.
While by no means the only factor at work, this has provided plenty of ammunition for the
anti-trade and anti-globalization mood that has driven the electoral success of newly
elected US President Trump and the vote in the UK to leave the European Union. Will we
see disruption of a different nature emerge as the other positives of globalization are
thrown into question by a response to the development of the likes of China?
In this context, the Credit Suisse Research Institute (CSRI) has just published its latest
update on globalization (see Getting over Globalization) which argues that the world is
leaving globalization behind and is moving to a more distinct multipolar setting. This might
cause some to believe that disruptive risk is less of a worry going forward; however, we do
not view it that way. In fact, we believe that disruptive risk only increases, as the move to a
multipolar world is likely to result in incremental supply chain challenges as regulatory
pressures increase. Regulation as a disruptive force therefore is set to become a more
dominant factor if the world indeed does slowly become multipolar and less global.
A number of points support our view that globalization is running out of steam.
The CSRI globalization index (using flows of trade, finance, services and people) has
been slipping backwards over the course of the past three years. Global trade as a
share of GDP for the largest 10 economies of the world has been declining during the
past few years and is at levels last seen in the early 2000s.
When reviewing the aggregate activity of the world's most open globalized economies
(typically small countries such as Singapore, Switzerland, Ireland, Belgium and the
Netherlands) we see a slowdown in growth to below trend levels. We view these
economies as potential early indicators for a move away from globalization.
Cross border flows of financial trade (relative to GDP) have continued to go down from
their pre-financial-crisis peak.
Trade liberalization, as measured by the Fraser Institute's economic freedom of the
world indices, has been slowly declining since its peak in 2000.

The falter of trade agreements and an increasing reluctance to accept new or support
existing trade deals. For example, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) between the
US, Japan and a group of Asian countries collapsed. The same happened with the
Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Inequality has become a major issue on the political agenda across the developed
world, which in turn fuels 'protectionist' policies, in our view. The Credit Suisse
Research Institute highlights that in the US the number of people with average income
outweighed the combined number of low and high income groups by c60% in 1971.
Today they are in the minority. Oxfam in its most recent report (An economy for the
99%) pointed out that the world's richest eight men have a combined wealth of
cUS$426bn which is equal to the poorest 50% of the world.
Migration has added to the anti-open border debate. One trend that has been
associated with globalization is migration; however, it now appears to have reached
levels that have started to breed significant resistance across many developed
markets. The 'Brexit' vote and the US presidential election appear to be clear examples
of this skepticism towards migration.

The world might be moving to a multipolar one


If the world is indeed set to move away from globalization, the question for investors then
is what the most likely scenario going forward will be. We explore two here.
One scenario is for a complete reversal of globalization. Drivers behind an 'End of
globalization' development include a continued slowdown in economic growth, rising
indebtedness, inequality and immigration, and a rise in protectionism.
Protectionism in general is definitely on the rise. For example, the CSRI authors note
that the US has implemented the greatest number of protectionist measures globally
(outnumbering the number of trade liberalization measures by a factor of nearly 9-to-1).
The CSRI also note that the UK, Spain, Germany and France have each implemented
more trade protection measures than China.
The second scenario assumes the that world economy will increasingly rest on three
pillars the Americas, Europe and Asia (China-led). This is likely to imply the
development of regional champions and institutions, the rise of regionalized versions of
the rule of law and trade. Other areas where multipolarity can develop include military
power, financial sector growth and technological sophistication. We view this scenario
as most likely because its implications are far less dramatic, with current developments
already suggesting that the world is moving towards a multipolar economy.

What are the early warnings signs for stocks?


It is hard to provide a list of stocks at risk with precision given much depends on (a) the
pace with which the trends in globalization reverse and (b) the nature of policies that typify
it. However, we are seeing in the case of the US and the UK, both explicit and implicit risks
emerging within the narrative around trade. The debate about a border tax in the US or
penalties for offshore sourcing throws a focus on companies that have a supply chain that
is international by nature. They are potential losers depending on how the policy is framed
and how it co-exists with cuts in planned corporation taxes more broadly. In the case of
the UK, a potential self-imposed exit from the European single market and customs union
poses similar such question marks and potential costs.
Credit Suisse PEERs allows us to map supply chain risk
With the above in mind, we can analyse which companies have a more international
supply chain risk as we stand today using Credit Suisse's supply chain tool PEERs, (see A
chain reaction: Supply chain strategies, 14 Nov 2016). In Figure 30 below, we show US
companies with at least eight suppliers and where 50% or more of them are non-US in
nature. In our database our analysts rank suppliers as to their importance high,
moderate and low. Here we have shown all suppliers with equal weight. It is highly
simplistic of course. It doesn't capture indirect sensitivities that always exist. For example,
companies may be sourcing locally (e.g. retailers) though from distributors who
themselves may face taxes they seek to pass on. However, it serves as a rough guide as
to where risks may lie.

In Figure 32, we conduct a similar exercise for the UK by looking at companies with a
more European supply chain. We show companies with at least three suppliers in their
supply chain and where 15% of them are European in nature. This also comes with health
warnings given the lack of clarity on how trade negotiations will play out, though we are of
course already seeing pressure on companies with non-UK supply chains via sterling's
weakness

Technological innovation remains central


This report highlights the degree of risk faced by public companies to several broader
disruptive forces. Of these, we view the disruptive potential of technological development
as most significant. We see three different reasons for this:

1 New, cheaper and more efficient products replace


existing ones
The main threat of globalization is through the launch of products similar to those in
existence albeit at cheaper prices. Its disruptive impact therefore is typically via price
competition. Technological development on the other hand can be far more disruptive as it
allows for completely new (and often cheaper) products and services to be introduced that
threaten to replace existing ones (e.g. Uber vs taxis, AirBnB vs Hotels or mobile phones vs
fixed landlines). It therefore forces incumbent companies to substantially change
investment processes and increase R&D spending to improve their offering, too. The
ability for larger, often established, companies to implement such changes is obviously not
a given. In the table below we highlight some of the technologies that we believe have
substantial disruptive potential.

Figure 33: Some key disruptive technologies likely to disrupt end-markets

estimates that 60m FTEs might be at risk by 2025. Falling robot costs (typically by

increase in car sharing this development has the potential to substantially reduce
car sales (every car shared typically replaces c10 privately owned cars). Finally we
note that the electrification of vehicles adds further pressure on the current,
largely combustion-engine focussed, car industry.

Energy Storage The ability to store energy (largely through batteries) generated from renewable Utilities and Oil & Gas producers 10 years
sources (i.e. solar) has the potential to allow residential and corporates to
become selfsufficient. This in turn would be highly disruptive for the utility
sector (generation and distribution). If consumers were to switch from gas-fired
heating to electrical-based heating this would also negatively impact gas
suppliers.

3D Printing 3D printing capabilities are rapidly expanding although full disruption is likely a Medical device manufacturers, 10 years

however, we believe that layer-based printing will allow for widespread manufacturers, suppliers into these
disruption across various consumer end markets. The ability to produce goods end markets including logistics firms
more locally and with minimal waste is also set to impact the supply chain may also be impacted
including delivery. The ability to produce low volume, high value items might
also support the on-shoring of certain manufacturing activities.

Renewable energy Increasing cost competitiveness should allow renewable energy sources such as Utilities and Oil & Gas producers 10 years
solar and wind to become disruptive on a 10 year horizon in our view. Demand for
renewable energy solutions is likely to be strong across the emerging world
owing to climate conditions and relative absence of incumbent energy supply
networks. Key for the timespan of disruption are a) the continued speed with
which production costs are falling and efficiency ratios are rising and b) whether
or not renewable subsidies remain.

It's difficult to overstate the implications of technological progress on existing companies,


in our view. Below we list just two examples of the exponential growth seen by disrupting
technology-based services.
AirBnB in December 2016 reported that more than 2m guests were staying in its listings
over New Year, a growth of more than 1400x from the 1,400 that used its service in 2009
(Figure 34). In other words, these were 2m guests that did not stay in traditional hotels.
The disruptive impact of e-commerce is also striking. Amazon's market cap was less than
5% of that of the traditional US retail space in 2006. Today the company's value is larger
than the combined value of the largest eight traditional retailers in the US (Figure 35).

2 Technological innovation increases competitive


pressures globally
Technological innovation not only allows for the launch of new products and services but
these products and services can be developed by companies largely irrespective of their
location. In other words, technological innovations supports competitive pressure on a
more global scale as more countries, especially developing nations, seize the benefits
from them.
Examples of this can be seen in the growth of the industrial robot industry or indeed
renewable energy investments. In both cases we find that countries such as China but
also India have taken a very active role in developing these services, thereby impacting
companies elsewhere.

3 Lower investment hurdles boost private companies


Finally, we note that technological progress allows for the development of disruptive
services that are asset-light in nature. This has at least two implications for incumbent
companies:
Firstly, it suggests that funding or investment needs for companies that aim to offer
these new services are relatively low compared to examples of previous disruption
cycles (). For example, the investment requirements for railroad companies (disrupting
canals) were arguably far greater than those for companies developing online retail
websites (disrupting traditional retail companies). As such technological progress
lowers the barriers to entry for new disruptors, thereby further raising competitive
dynamics on incumbent operators.
Secondly, we note that the relatively low capital requirements for especially web-based
services enables more companies to stay private while becoming disruptors as the
need to be a publicly listed company in order to secure access to funding is relatively
low. This suggests that equity investors may not be able to gain exposure to some of
the high growth successful disruptors.
The growing relevance of private technology-driven disruptors can be seen in the rapid
increase of 'unicorns' (private companies with a market-based valuation of US$1bn or
more). During the past five years the number of unicorns has increased approximately
sevenfold to 184 whereas the combined valuation of the group increased to US$653bn
in 2016 from US$153bn in 2011, according to CB Insights (Figure 38).

Not only do we observe strong growth in the number of unicorns and their valuation levels
but a sector analysis of them also reveals their focus on 'disruptive' services. Cumulative
unicorn valuation levels are mostly geared to disruptive sectors including on-demand
services (e.g. Uber and Didi), eCommerce (e.g. AirBnB and Flipkart), Fintech (e.g. Lu.com
and Stripe), Internet services (e.g. Spotify) and facilities (e.g. WeWork). Below we list the
largest 30 unicorns based on the most recent valuation data as per CB Insights.

Who's most at risk and who's not?


Against the background of these disruptive megatrends, we decided to expand our
bottom-up analysis on disruptive risk faced by companies across the globe. Some 225 of
our analysts globally have provided their views on the potential risk that their companies
face from competition (both local and global), technological development and regulation.
Scope of our analysis
In order to assess a company's risk from disruption we asked our analysts a simple
question: What risk does your company face from globalization, regulation and
technological innovation? We asked them specifically to rank each of these three factors
from 1 (=minimal risk) to 3 (=maximum risk). We calculate a cumulative risk by company
which therefore runs from 3 to 9.
The result of this analysis is that we have now calculated disruptive risk scores for almost
2,700 stocks globally, which represents c90% of Credit Suisse's equity research coverage.
All of the 24 key sectors globally are covered in our analysis. The expansion over our
original report shows that we now have far greater depth on a sector level as far as
disruptive risk is concerned, allowing us to draw more meaningful conclusions.

Risk distribution, globally and by region


The distribution of companies by risk scoring is as per Figure 43. It shows that 421
companies are deemed by our analysts to carry minimal risk from disruption, at least
during the next five years. This represents c15% of the total universe. We view a score of
7 or higher as high risk from disruption. A total of 358 companies are perceived by our
analysts to be at high risk from disruption globally, with 46 being maximum exposed
across all 3 factors.

Disruptive risk higher in Europe, lower in NJ-Asia


Companies in Figure 44 shows the degree of disruptive risk by region. It suggests that NJ-Asia has the
developed markets face lowest share of companies with high risk from disruption. On the other hand, the share of
greater risk from European firms that are perceived to be relatively immune to disruption is less than half of
disruption than those the share in other regions, indicating that risk is greater in Europe. A rough conclusion
located in emerging
economies

appears to be that disruptive risk faced by companies located in developed markets is


higher than for those located in emerging economies.

When breaking down our low and high risk companies by region, we find that relative to
the total number of stocks included in our database Europe is indeed underrepresented in
the low risk category (17% share vs 19% share of overall universe) and overrepresented
in the high risk group (22% share vs 19% overall share).
The opposite applies to companies in NJ-Asia. They make up 35% of our universe, have a
37% share of the low risk group and just 21% of the high risk group.
In the case of the US, we find a slight skew towards high risk (44% share of high risk
group vs a 37% share of the overall universe).

Disruptive risk by sector: a regional comparison


Figure 49 shows the average risk by sector globally; however, this does mask regional
differences. Figure 50 on page 24 shows a more granular view on sector risk from
disruption by summarising our analysts' responses on a regional basis. The following
pages analyse some of the key regional-sector combinations that stand out.
Sectors where disruptive risk is fairly similar across regions include Food & Staples
Retail, Utilities, Consumer Services, Capital Goods, Transport, Autos and Energy. The
degree of disruption faced by these sectors is not dependent on the region in which the
company is located.
Sectors where disruptive exposure differs most between regions include Pharma,
Semis, Telecom, Insurance, Media, Diversified Financials and Banks. These spreads are
worth analyzing in order to identify which regional-specific reasons explain the different
disruptive risk.
Pharmaceuticals: The difference between disruptive exposure by region is largely due
to a high score on Japanese pharmaceutical stocks and a low score for those located
elsewhere in Asia. Reasons for this include:
Japan Pharma scores high on disruption: Our analyst, Fumiyoshi Sakai,
sees a myriad of potential reforms with unknown timeframes including initiatives
to improve the transparency of the drug pricing formulas and methodology for
the foreign price adjustment rule, R&D support for innovative biologics and
biosimilars and promoting competition among generic drug makers. See the
Outlook for 2017 many challenges ahead section from the team's Japan
Major Pharma review.

NJA Pharma scores low on disruption: Analyst Iris Wang believes that with
the ongoing implementation of drug tenders, clinical data self-inspection and the
two-invoice system and reimbursement budget control, there will unlikely be any
additional negative policy changes in 2017. Moreover, the long-awaited
expansion of the National Reimbursement Drug Listlikely to be announced in
1H17could be a sector tailwind. She expects the sector to consolidate further
and big pharma companies with rich pipelines, solid clinical trial records and
strong in-house sales capabilities to benefit. See the China Pharma Sector
Headwinds turning into tailwinds section from our team's China-HK Chronicles
Outlook 2017.
Semiconductors: US semi stocks appear to carry above sector-average disruptive
risk. The key reason for this relates to the fact that some of the solar stocks are
classified as semiconductor companies. The solar space in general ranks high for
disruption, especially through competition but also technological innovation and its
impact on market share and or profit margins. For the remainder of the semi space, our
analysts are broadly positive owing to rising barriers to entry, consolidation and
diversifying demand drivers (see Semiconductors: 2017 Outlook).
Telecoms: Telecoms in Asia score higher than those in Europe and the US on
disruptive risk. The key drivers behind this are:
NJA Telcos: Amongst the divergent regional views in telecoms, our Asia-ex
Japan teams underweight sector view is underpinned by several factors
including several 'problem markets', namely India, Singapore, Malaysia and the
Philippines, where rising competition, new entrant threats and cannibalization by
OTT (Over the Top) services are weighing on the space. However, Chinese
telecoms are an exception as the market looks structurally better positioned,
given 1) no new entrants in the cellular space; and 2) China telcos have avoided
unlimited data plans which ensures that the economics of consumer behaviour

Global Equity Themes 25


24 January 2017

matches the cost structure of the operators, and drives revenue. The team also
sees a reduced probability of further regulatory interference for China. While
investors remain concerned over the potential for other regulatory moves, there
have been strong 4G net additions with a more even share, reducing the need
for further measures. Furthermore, the data pricing curve is such that customers
are enjoying volume discounts. See our Asia Pacific/HK Outlook 2017 from 11
January 2017 for more details.

European telcos: The European telco sector has for two decades been driven
by common regulatory themes emerging from the EU, starting with liberalisation
in the mid-1990s, licensing of mobile spectrum to new operators (1995-2002),
disruptive fixed line access regulation (ULL) from 2002 and more recently
BULRIC MTRs (2007-2013) and roaming regulation (2007-2016+). These EU
initiatives have been sector wide, generally deflationary and disruptive to telco
sector returns. The EU is now reviewing its telecoms regulation and discussing
a wide range of options. Few if any of these have the potential to disrupt the
sector in the way previous initiatives have done. Some options even involve
reducing regulation. International exposure remains a decisive factor for
European relative performance. Many of the world's telecoms markets are
suffering the same trend of increasing regulation and competition that Europe
has suffered from, so International stopped being a driver of outperformance
some years ago. However exposure varies by market, and by market position.
See Outlook 2017 from 8 December 2016.
Media: The above-average regional risk difference in media is largely due to a low
reading for US media companies. The reason for this according to our US media
analysts is the election of a Republican administration which has had a significant
positive impact on the regulatory outlook for US ISPs. The team expects Congress and
the FCC to work together to replace the 2015 Open Internet Order. This order enforces
the principles of net neutrality including that ISPs must enable access to all content
without favouring or blocking specific websites, and under Title II of the
Telecommunications Act created the possibility of direct price regulation. See US
Media & Cable: Themes for 2017 from 10 January.
Banks: Finally, we note that the disruptive risk spread for banks is because of the high
readings for European banks. Our analysts note that risk from fintech and regulation
are the key drivers for this.
Diversified financials: Our diversified financial analysts in the US and Europe (Craig
Siegenthaler, Tom Mills and Martin Price) highlight the ETF vehicle as a global
disruptor within the financial sector. See Reiterate preference for market infrastructure
vs. asset managers on active-passive theme. Specifically they highlight the following
developments:
ETFs vs. Mutual Funds: They believe there are four clear advantages of the
ETF structure to the mutual fund: (1) tax efficiency (only in US), (2) cost, (3)
liquidity, and (4) transparency. However, underperformance of actives versus
passives (after fees) over the last decade has also tilted the demand from active
to passive, and this has benefited ETFs as passive exists in the ETF vehicle,
while actives do not (active funds tend to have less transparency).

Global ETF wave accelerating: Our team expects increased investor


education on the ETF model, continued migration from commission-based
accounts to advisory/fee-based in the brokerage industry, new regulations in the
US (DOL Rule) and outside the US (CRM2-Canada, MiFID2-Europe, RDR-UK)
will cause a large share shift in industry AuM from funds to ETFs over the next
five years. ETF share in the US is 17% today, but they think it could eventually

Global Equity Themes 26


24 January 2017

reach over 40% over the next 10 years. So the question for many CEOs is
how can active, traditional, benchmark-relative managers fight back? We think a
non-transparent ETF solution, or a new mutual fund structure with a variable
management fee offer two future options for active managers (both models are
currently seeking approval from the SEC in the US).

Stocks: BlackRock (BLK, Outperform), WisdomTree (WETF, Outperform), and


Flow Traders (FLOW.AS, Outperform) are three stocks that our team believes
will benefit from additional share gains from the ETF structure. Firms with very
large passive/ETF businesses, like State Street (Neutral), could also benefit.
Timing of disruption: within five years
As part of our bottom-up assessment of disruptive risk, we also asked our analysts to
indicate whether they think their companies are at risk within the next five years or not.
With a few exceptions, we found that where disruptive risk exists, our analysts
overwhelmingly think that this risk is likely to materialize within a five-year time frame.
Changes between current and original analysis
We have also compared the sector scores for disruptive risk between our original report
and the current update.
Stocks where ranking have change most notably are highlighted in Figure 51.

Sectors where on average we now see greater risk than before include: Retail,
Software, Media and Telcos.
Sector where on average risk is now deemed lower include Semis, Real Estate and
Banks. Notably, lower risk from regulation appears to be a key driver behind these
reduced risk readings. This is partly owing to the inclusion of more NJ-Asia companies
but we would also highlight reduced regulatory concerns from our US banks team.

Disruption: is it reflected in expectations?


The degree of exposure to disruptive risk is only one side of the equation for investors.
The other relevant factor is obviously whether this risk is properly reflected in a company's
share price.
Cash flow returns reflect relative risk
Consensus estimates As far as corporate performance is concerned, using Credit Suisse HOLT, we find that
are weakest for relative cash flow returns largely appear to properly reflect disruptive risk. For example, on
companies with higher an aggregate basis we find that CFROI for companies with a risk score of 3 (i.e. minimal
disruptive risk risk) have started to increase relative to those for companies with a risk score of 7 or
higher. Figure 53 shows that 12m forward CFROI expectations indicate a marked
deterioration for companies with high risk exposure, whereas this is far less the case for
those with minimal perceived risk from disruption.
Analyst expectations are in line with relative risk exposure
Reviewing recent earnings revision activity for our universe of c2,700 stocks also indicates
that sentiment is already more negative for companies with a higher exposure to
disruption. Figure 54 shows that CFROI revisions for companies with a risk score of 7-9 is
substantially more negative than for those with a score of 3.

Return expectations by sector show a more diverse picture


We have also calculated the average cash flow return statistics by sector and plotted the
changes relative to the average risk scoring for each of the sectors.
Figure 55 shows that the volatility of cash flow returns broadly speaking increases with the
exposure to disruption. CFROI expectations for pharmaceutical companies for example
suggest a more than 20% increase in returns during the next 12 months. In the case of
energy companies, we note a decline in CFROI of c40%.
Although this analysis does not say anything about valuation, we do find it interesting that
some sectors with perceived high risk from disruption still have consensus earnings
estimates that suggest returns will improve. This is not something that we deem likely on a
medium-term view considering the potential impact of disruption. Sectors that stand out in
this regard include Autos and Pharmaceuticals. In case of our autos reading we do point
out that this is primarily related to our Asian auto analysts' views, as we currently do not
cover European or US autos.

Disruption: is it priced in?


The previous section showed that earnings expectations in general appear to be reflecting
the potential relative impact from disruption on stocks globally. According to HOLT, returns
and revision activity for companies with higher disruptive risk are weaker than for those
with lower risk from disruption. On a sector basis, we found some with above-average
disruptive risk are already experiencing declining returns (e.g. retail, diversified financials
and energy) while others have yet to see this happen (e.g. pharma and autos). All of these
changes, however, do not provide sufficient information needed to assess whether a
company is indeed fairly valued at this point.
Where is the market mispricing disruptive exposure?
In Global Equity Themes: Disruption: where is it not priced in?, we analysed the degree
to which disruptive risk as perceived by our analysts was appropriately reflected in share
prices. We used a HOLT-based valuation tool ('conditional probability') for this as it
indicates the likelihood that a company will be able to generate cash flow returns that are
implied by the current share price. For an explanation of this methodology, please see
Appendix B on page 44.
In this update, we reapply the conditional probability concept to the c2,700 stocks for
which we have disruptive rankings. More specifically, we provide, on a sector basis, four
sets of stock screens. These are based on the degree of disruptive risk (high or low) and
whether this risk is under- or over-appreciated by the market (Figure 56 provides a
schematic summary of this analysis).

Share-price-implied HOLT CFROI


By using a company's current share price and consensus estimates for FY1 and FY2 the
HOLT model is able to solve for the implied cash flow return profile in year 5 (i.e. T+5).
This approach provides an indication of the degree to which the cash flow return profile for
a company is expected to change using the current share price and therefore allows us to
benchmark this change against the historical CFROI profile achieved by the company.
Such an analysis provides a ceteris paribus valuation assessment but obviously takes no
account of potential future changes to a company's business model such as those brought
about from disruption.

Global Equity Themes 31

Market-implied CFROI by risk score


Averaging the share-price-implied CFROI per company by the disruptive score shows that
on average the market is already pricing that returns will fade more aggressively for
companies with a higher risk from disruption (Figure 57).
When we run this analysis on a sector level, we get broadly speaking similar results.
Figure 58 shows that share-price-implied returns for the sectors most at risk from
disruption (to the left of the chart) tend to be below recent returns and/or longer term
medians, whereas this is less the case for those sectors with a lower risk scoring.

Low disruptive exposure is awarded with a valuation premium


A company's conditional probability of below 50% means that there is a less than one in
two chance that it will achieve the cash flow return implied by the current share price. We
use this 50% as a benchmark for over- and undervaluation.
When grouping the conditional probability scoring for our universe, we find that those
companies that have the lowest perceived risk from disruption are most expensively
valued (Figure 59). However, Figure 60 shows that this is not the case for all regions.
Undisruptable companies in NJ-Asia are (on average) slightly undervalued.
Among the most disruptable companies, we find that those located in Europe and Japan
tend to have the most aggressive valuations.

Conditional probability vs risk by sector


Staples and business We have also calculated conditional probability scores by sector and mapped these
services: Low risk but against the perceived risk from disruption. This analysis provides the following

Pharma, Energy and risk from disruption (Food Beverage & Tobacco, Business Services, and Household &
Consumer Services. Personal Goods) have on average a less than 35% chance of meeting the current
Autos valuation levels share-price-implied CFROI. In other words, current expectations for future cash flow
may have become too returns are too aggressive despite the lack of 'disruptive risk'.
depressed
Some of the sectors most at risk still have downside potential: Some deemed to
be at relatively high risk from disruption are still trading at a valuation premium (e.g.
Pharma, Energy and Consumer Services). In the case of Energy stocks, we noted
previously that CFROI expectations were falling (FY1 vs FY0); however, based on
share prices this appears to have been insufficient to justify current share prices for
these companies. The improvement in CFROI expectations for Pharma and Consumer
Services (see also Figure 55) also leaves these sectors overvalued, albeit most in the
case of the latter.
Autos appears to be an exception: The Autos sector faces a high risk of disruption,
however, its conditional probability is almost 65%. This suggests that (all else being
equal) the market is pricing in a too negative scenario for future CFROI. In previous
meetings with investors, we have observed an almost uniformly negative view on the
outlook for the auto industry owing to developments such as regulatory pressures,
driverless vehicles, electrification and behavioral changes towards driving. Conditional
probability calculations seem to indicate that this may have gone too far.

Conditional probability by sector: regional differences


Figure 62 on page 35 shows the results for the sector-based conditional probability scores
broken down by region. A few conclusions can be drawn:
Low-risk sectors are expensive everywhere: The sectors deemed least at risk from
disruption (Household & Personal goods, Business Services and Food, Beverages &
Tobacco) are expensive in every region.
Companies in high-risk sectors that are overvalued are largely in Europe and the
Americas. Risk appears more than priced in for Pharmaceuticals, Energy and Auto
stocks located in NJ-Asia.
Technology discrepancies:
European tech appears too cheap in semis but too expensive in hardware.
Software stocks carry average risk from disruption, however, the market appears to
be taking a too optimistic view on US software returns. US semi and hardware
stocks, on the other hand, appear cheap.
Retail risk is most underappreciated in the case of European and Japanese retail
stocks.
Capital Goods is a sector ranked below-average on disruptive risk by our analysts
(although this may change long term on account of the threat posed by Chinese firms
in particular). Stocks that appear too conservatively priced against the background of
our analysts' view on disruption are mostly located in the US.

Key stocks
Finally, we determine by sector and region the key stocks that we would recommend
owning and avoiding against the background of both exposure to disruption and current
valuation levels. More specifically, the following pages highlight stocks that fall in one of
the following four categories:

Figure 63: Filtering our universe of 'Undisruptables' and 'Disruptables'

Undisruptables
Undisruptables to own 3-4 > 50% Negative Cheap & Undisruptable

Disruptables
Disruptables to avoid 7-9 < 50% Positive At high risk from disruption and expensive
Beware:
- Rebound potential 7-9 > 50% Negative High risk from disruption already more than priced in

Source: Credit Suisse research

'Undisruptable' companies
Of the companies with a low disruptive score (3 or 4), we would recommend owning those
that have a conditional probability of more than 50% and a moderate to negative fade in
CFROI implied by the current share price (i.e. future returns are expected to fall relative to
history which, given the low risk from disruption, appears too negative).
Stocks with low risk from disruption to avoid are those where the market is already pricing
in a too aggressive improvement in CFROI. These stocks may have little to fear from
disruption, but their share prices carry a risk of a pull-back.
'Disruptable' companies
Of the companies with a high risk from disruption (score of 7 to 9) we would be most
cautious on those where the market is pricing in a too optimistic CFROI profile. In other
words, those with a conditional probability of less than 50% and a positive CFROI fade.
Investors should be careful about reducing exposure to all companies with high risk from
disruption as share prices for those that have a high conditional probability and too
negative fade in CFROI priced in already may rebound.

Global stock screens


Key stocks to own
Finally, we derive a global group of Outperform-rated companies that in our view face
below-average risk from disruption.
Using our regional stock lists (see the next section for more details), we screen for
companies with a market cap of US$3bn or higher that not only have a low score on
disruptive risk (i.e. 3-4) and a conditional probability of more than 50 (i.e. are undervalued)
but that also have above-average quality and momentum scores as per Credit Suisse
HOLT and that have an Outperform rating from Credit Suisse Equity Research.
This filter of the overall universe provides us with a list of 25 companies across the four
regions.

Key stocks where we are cautious


We have also filtered our regional screens further to arrive at our global stock list of
companies with high risk where we believe investors should be cautious.
In doing so, we not only screen for companies with a high risk score (i.e. 7-9) and
conditional probability of less than 50 (i.e. expensive) but also for those that score below-
average on quality and are Neutral- or Underperform-rated.
This filter of the overall universe provides us with a list of 20 companies across the four
regions; 10 of these carry an Underperform rating. Although the list consists of some
companies with above-average momentum, we note that this is probably an additional risk
to share prices considering the above-average exposure to disruption and the already
stretched valuation levels as per HOLT's conditional probability model. With quality below
average, we would expect momentum for these stocks to deteriorate.

Performance overview
We have been tracking the performance of the stocks that were selected as part of our
disruption work to date (e.g. Disruption and share price performance). This suggests
the market has rewarded cheap companies with low risk from disruption relative to those
that are at above-average risk and appear expensive (Figure 71 and Figure 72).

In this report, we have not only expanded our universe to c2,700 stocks but have also
tightened our filtering criteria in order to keep our most and least preferred stocks to a
manageable number. While historical returns obviously provide no guarantee whatsoever
as regards to future returns, Figure 73 indicates that our new list of 25 'Undisruptables' has
recently outperformed our screen of 20 'Disruptables'. The former also outperformed
cheap, high quality & momentum non-undisruptables, suggesting that the degree of

the following pages we highlight all small caps by region that fall into one of the four
quadrants as per Figure 63 on page 36.

Appendix B: Conditional probability


HOLT's conditional probability measures the probability of the T+5 CFROI for a company
occurring given the most recent achieved value. It is based on the three central
determinants of future cash flow returns: CFROI level, CFROI volatility and asset growth.
Using these variables, as well as the subject company's stage in the competitive life cycle,
we can filter within the HOLT universe to identify a peer group of companies that exhibit
comparable characteristics with the subject company for which the conditional probability
is calculated. This peer group allows us to understand the probability of future operating
performance outcomes for the subject company.
Within this peer group, the HOLT conditional probability uses linking to quantify the
associations of the three determinants of return persistence. This results in a distribution
within which it is possible to understand the likelihood of achieving the 5-year forward
CFROI given the most recent achieved value, past volatility, asset growth rate and
company size. This process uses 90,000 company lifecycles within the HOLT database.
Example 1: Market-implied CFROI is too negative
Figure 84 below shows a confidence band for the T+5 CFROI. The light blue triangle
represents the 25th and 75th percentile bounds of a company's likely return on capital. The
light grey areas represent the 5th and 95th percentile bounds. The company's current share
price implies a CFROI in five years' time (represented by the green dot) that is
substantially below even the 95th percentile bound (the lower light grey bar). We conclude
that the market is currently too pessimistic on the company's future cash flow return.

Example 2: Market-implied CFROI is too optimistic


Figure 85 below shows an example of a company where the share price-implied CFROI
appears far too optimistic based on HOLT's conditional probability. The most likely path for
the company's CFROI is depicted by the dark blue area; however, the current share price
implies a CFROI that is substantially above the 5th percentile upper light grey area. We
believe that the market-implied cash flow forecasts are too optimistic.

Appendix C: PEERsMapping supply chains


The PEERs map
Credit Suisse PEERs maps out the relationships between companies and competitors,
customers, suppliers, joint ventures and partnerships for over 3,400 listed firms globally
and hence makes the concept of an industry map stock-specific and, importantly, dynamic,
as explained below. This mapping of over 110,000 relationships is built by Credit Suisse
analysts.
We show below an illustration for Marathon. The relationships here are mapped from
Marathon's perspective, though the mirrored images viewed through the eyes of its
suppliers can be displayed and are far more extensive than reflected here. Analysts
classify the materiality of relationships (high, moderate and low), but only focus on
relationships that are genuinely relevant to an investor.
Our dataset allows us to examine the supply chain of any given company in a dynamic
fashion, given we have approximately 10 years of time series data for the relationships
concerned. We acknowledge there are other sources of supply chain data available.
However, in our view, having such data built by the analysts who cover and speak to the
companies concerned provides added quality relative to other data available in terms of
insights and longevity, particularly in emerging markets.
PEERs is accessible through Credit Suisse's research portal, CS Plus, or via HOLT
Lens. Please contact your Credit Suisse sales representative for further details.

Important Credit Suisse HOLT Disclosures
With respect to the analysis in this report based on the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology, Credit Suisse certifies that (1) the views expressed in this
report accurately reflect the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology and (2) no part of the Firms compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the
specific views disclosed in this report.
The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign ratings to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative
algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the
companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of default
algorithms available in the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data
vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. The
adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national
borders. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes the baseline valuation for a security, and a
user then may adjust the default variables to produce alternative scenarios, any of which could occur.
Additional information about the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology is available on request.
The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign a price target to a security. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT
valuation model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The
default variable may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur.

fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such
as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are
capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange
rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and
consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in
their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such
circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some
investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed. This report
may provide the addresses of, or contain hyperlinks to, websites. Except to the extent to which the report refers to website material of CS, CS has not reviewed any such site and takes no responsibility for the content contained therein. Such
