2 Pair trades

22 set 2020

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share 2 trades I took today.

First one is Long Alibaba versus Short Carrefour.
Retail industry trade, e-retail vs traditional. Fundamentals speak by themselves (Revenue growth, ROE, etc all in favor of BABA).
This a 90 day trade (using barrier options). Going to the winter, it is a replay of the covid trade.

The second one is Long Teleperformance Short Publicis.
Advertising industry. Companies are expected to continue to slash their traditional advertising budgets due to the covid crisis and they continue to move to online advertising (bad for Publicis).
In the meantime, Teleperformance has moved to full Work From Home and fundamentals and management is excellent.
It is a 90 day trade as well, so we'll see how it goes...

Thanks for your comments!

Nota

Just an update of the trades Teleperformance/Publicis: exit of the trade (loss). Publicis newsflow start to be too positive, the entry level was not very good either, I prefer to get out and maybe come back later. It gives me some amunition to reinforce my remaining trades in case of opportunities.
