1) Brands & Packaged Foods – In an in-depth (12,900 words) Analyst Roundtable, Herb Achey, Senior Equity Analyst with the U.S. Trust Company of New York, Jeffrey Kanter, Senior Food Analyst and Vice President with Prudential Securities, and Andrew Lazar, Research Analyst in the Packaged Food Sector at Lehman Brothers, discuss the outlook for the sector and share specific stock recommendations.

Lazar highlights Bestfoods (NYSE:BFO), “When you talk about per capita consumption, it’s going up in a lot of emerging markets, which is exactly why Unilever went after Bestfoods first: it had the largest exposure of US food companies to emerging markets.”

Kanter highlights Universal Foods (NYSE:UFC): “Universal Foods, which is really more of a food supplier, offers investors incredible value relative to its peers. It’s just a matter of time before that gap in relative valuation narrows.”
