Liberty Global Inc. Research Report



US cable TV giant Liberty Global Inc. recently announced its acquisition of British
cable TV operator, Virgin Media Inc., in a $16 billion deal. This acquisition will be one
of the largest cable deals of all time. By acquiring Virgin Media, Europe's largest cable
market, Liberty Global will be able to challenge British Sky Broadcasting for dominance in
Europe. Liberty Global is known as America's King of Cable, now it is also gaining the
title in Europe. According to Liberty Global's president and chief executive, Mike Fries,
"Virgin Media will add significant scale and a first-class management team in Europe's
largest and most dynamic media and communications market." After the deal, the company
will be serving 25 million customers in 14 countries, overtaking the world's leading cable
TV operator, Comcast. American media giants are taking advantage of stagnant advertising
revenue in Europe by moving into the territory. The acquisition of Virgin Media is just
part of Liberty Global's expansion in Europe. The company has also bought two German cable
TV operators to build its operations in Europe's largest economy. Even before the deal,
Liberty Global is already known as the largest cable operator in Europe, with 18.4 million
subscribers. The company was put into that position by going on a decade-long acquisition
spree spanning 11 countries in the continent. Analysts say that this European expansion
will give Liberty Global a more focused strategy in a market with high disposable income.
Furthermore, the Virgin Media acquisition may strengthen the company's superior asset
portfolio diversity and growth prospects compared with its rivals. After announcing the
deal, Liberty Global reported a 23 percent increase in its Q4 operating income, and 9
percent increase for the whole year of 2012. The deal is subject to majority shareholder
approvals from both companies and is expected to close in Q2 2013. The Full Research

Charter Communications, Inc. Research Report



Also playing in the cable TV M&A field is Charter Communications, Inc. Rumors have
been going around that the company may be preparing for a deal with Time Warner Cable.
Analysts see this stock as a possible acquisition target, marking it as undervalued.
Earlier in December 2012, analysts have already predicted that Time Warner is likely to
buy Charter Communications. The former company has had difficulty maintaining video
subscriptions due to increasing competition from telcos and satellite TV services, and the
latter company is a likely candidate to be purchased. Losing more than 20 percent of its
subscriber over the past decade, it will need more funds to improve on that record. The

Monster Beverage Corp Research Report



As the maker of the Monster Energy, one of the questioned energy drinks products,
Monster released a statement contesting the agency report and calling it "highly
misleading." The company explained that the DAWN report contains little to no information
about the association between the hospital emergencies reported and the consumption of
energy drinks. Monster also noted that Monster Energy drinks contain even less caffeine
than regular coffeehouse-brewed coffee and that about 8 billion cans of the energy drinks
have been sold and "safely consumed" in the U.S. and around the world. Monster is set out
to roll more new products this year, along with expansion in the Asian and Central
American market. Addressing its adrenaline-pumped market, Monster continuously implements
its brand recognition formula by sponsoring extreme sports events, rock concerts and
tours, and affiliations with athletes and personalities. The Full Research Report on
Monster Beverage Corp - including full detailed breakdown, analyst ratings and price
targets - is available to download free of charge at:

PepsiCo, Inc. Research Report



PepsiCo is a global leader in the food and beverage industries and carrier of 22
brands, continues to dazzle the marketing arena by associating the brand with famous
sports and entertainment events such as the GRAMMYS, NFL and the Super Bowl. PepsiCo also
implemented crowdsourcing in the recent fan-made video advertisements for Pepsi Cola and
Doritos. PepsiCo's line of AMP energy drinks is also among the products questioned and
requested by the Food and Drugs Administration to provide information about the caffeine
and stimulant contents in the drinks. Yacktman Focused Fund recently purchased 9.41% of
the shares of PepsiCo, with approximate prices from $68.02 to $71.19. With the brand's
impeccable international presence along with a record of annual average earnings growth of
9.8% for the past decade, it looks the recent scrutiny proved to be a minor disruption.
