NFI GROUP INC. (NFI.TO)

ANHEUSER-BUSCH INBEV SA ADR (BUD)

Despite continued weakness across the broader Food and Beverages sector, Anheuser-Busch InBev SA ADR (BUD) may be showing improving relative strength characteristics within the SIA International ADR Index Report. The shares have climbed 57 positions over the past month to reach #60 in the report while maintaining a strong SMAX score of 9/10 and recently generating a bullish Double Top Point & Figure signal. The improving technical profile could suggest investors are becoming increasingly selective toward globally diversified consumer franchises with established brands and defensive cash flow characteristics amid ongoing market uncertainty.

The Difference Between Participation and Leadership

Markets continue to broaden beneath the surface, but participation and leadership are not always the same thing. While small caps and selective commodities such as copper have begun to improve alongside the broader risk-on environment, longer-term relative leadership trends still appear more firmly concentrated within large-cap growth and technology. For advisors, the current environment may increasingly require distinguishing between areas that are simply participating in improving market conditions and those that could be establishing more durable leadership trends.
