Barclays initiates coverage on Fomento Economico Mexicano (NYSE: FMX) with an Overweight. PT $106.00.

Analyst, Gabriel Vaz de Lima, said, "We like FMX because of its 100% stake in OXXO - a convenience-store chain that quickly became the third-largest retailer in Mexico, with a 10-year EBITDA CAGR of 35% and ROIC above 30%. We believe OXXO can reach up to 35,000 stores from 10,000 currently, based on population attended by store and its relation to demographics and transportation habits."
