16. San Miguel - SMC is a blue chip company by its definition. In recent years it has RADICALLY diversified into mining and power such that you could have mistaken it as a mining and power company. SMC president said that the acquisitions have a return on equity as triple as the seven percent level for food and beverages. Chairman Cojuangco said that the acquisitions will secure the Companys future. While all of this maybe true, the current sentiment on San Miguel is poor according to Astro Del Castillo, Managing director of First Grade Holdings Inc. Perhaps in the future, when all the smoke has cleared, I can bet on it but right now, I want to focus with the 16 companies mentioned above before even considering buying San Miguel shares.
