$ARCO DD Notes ~ http://www.ddnotesmaker.com/ARCO

Popped up on my nightly unusual volume scan, on watch for tomorrow: http://ditrli.com/ditrlis-trading-watchlist-for-friday-1012/

Usually don't enter til that rsi 5 gets to thirty - but I put a tight stop in so minimal risk, tried to catch that bottom - a follow through would be fantastic! Have a great long weekend everyone!

Not bad.. looks like another nice swing is due. $ARCO

Got some 7.09's

She's taking off like a banji

ARCO

ARCO setting up for next run pre dividend IMO

i just bough in at 8.51
stock price near 52 week low
strong earnings
emerging markets,
whats not to like?
good dividend
ARCO

I like this stock

Strong buy. North American assets finding their way to Latin America, China to invest billions in the region in infrastructure, games in Brazil coming up, .48 cents a share dividend, more expansion opportunities, near 52 week low, strong buy IMHO

$ARCO > Technical bounce watch this week >

ARCO has hit the ol' scanner and has a fair chance of a bounce at these levels. Stocks that have declined this badly almost always retrace higher, bounce or dip some and come right back to this point before a further decline.
Contacting me with the fundamentals about the company does not change my criteria for scanning stocks.

If you just started shorting this stock, it might be a bad idea as this is totally oversold!



All of the "FASTLANE's BOMB's AWAY! SCANS" are of my own opinion and not to be used as investment advice.

Arcos Dorados Announces Expectations for Third Quarter 2011 Results

Today : Monday 17 October 2011
Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE: ARCO) (“Arcos Dorados” or the “Company”) announced certain guidance today with respect to its expectations for third quarter 2011 results.

On a constant currency basis, the Company’s sales growth for the third quarter of 2011 improved upon the growth the Company experienced in the first half of the year. As evidence of this trend, the Company expects its systemwide comparable sales growth in the third quarter of 2011 to be within a range of 14.8% to 16.2%, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

However, in light of certain factors which have affected its results in prior periods and which it has previously reported, the Company expects its net income for the third quarter of 2011 when compared to the net income for the third quarter of 2010 to be negatively impacted by:

•an increase in compensation expense related to the outstanding awards granted under the Company’s long-term incentive plan (in light of the increase in the current quoted market price of the Company’s class A shares (based on a closing price of $23.19 per share as of September 30, 2011, compared to $21.09 as of June 30, 2011)),
•certain one-time charges associated with the partial redemption of the Company’s 2019 Notes, and
•the depreciation of certain local currencies against the U.S. dollar during September 2011, which primarily generated a non-cash charge over certain balance sheet accounts. This depreciation was offset, in part, by gains from certain foreign currency derivative transactions.
The Company also expects that its effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2011 will be higher than its effective tax rate for the first half of 2011 as a result of several factors, including (i) the partial recovery of its valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets during the first half of 2011 and (ii) withholding tax and additional expenses of its holding company.

As a result of these factors, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company anticipates that its revenues will likely range from $970 to $990 million, its operating income will likely range from $69 to $75 million and its net income will likely range from $18 to $20 million, representing an approximately 23.0% to 25.5% increase, an approximately 0.4% to 9.1% increase and an approximately 38.2% to 31.3% decrease, respectively, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company believes the estimated financial information presented above was prepared on a reasonable basis, reflects the best currently available estimates and judgments, and presents, to the best of the Company’s knowledge and belief, the Company’s expected performance for the third quarter of 2011. However, this information is not fact and no assurances can be given that the Company’s actual systemwide comparable sales growth, revenues, operating income and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 will not differ from these estimated amounts. Readers of this press release are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the estimates. These estimated amounts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These estimated amounts are preliminary, are based on management’s internal estimates and are subject to further internal review by management and approval by the Company’s audit committee. These estimated amounts may or may not be realized, and they may be based upon judgments or assumptions that prove to be incorrect. The Company’s actual systemwide comparable sales growth, revenues, operating income and net income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 may vary from these estimated amounts.

Arcos Dorados shares soar 25% after IPO / By William Spain, MarketWatch
CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — Shares of Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. soared more than 25% Thursday, rallying as investors embraced an initial public offering made by the Buenos Aires, Argentina-based McDonald’s franchisee.

The shares — which came out of the gate priced at $17, above their expected range of $13 to $15 — traded up $4.28 to $21.28. The company /quotes/zigman/4725620/quotes/nls/arco ARCO -1.41% sold 73.4 million shares in the offering.

The company runs McDonald’s franchises through Latin America and ranks as the largest franchisee of McDonald’s Corp. /quotes/zigman/233369/quotes/nls/mcd MCD +0.82% restaurants in the world, in terms of sales and restaurant count. It’s also the biggest fast-food chain in Latin America and the Caribbean, with units in 19 countries and territories.

Four years ago, McDonald’s sold almost all of its 1,600 restaurants in the market to Woods Staton, former president of McDonald’s Latin America South division, as well as a group of investors for $700 million. They assumed ownership of about 1,100 McDonald’s-owned restaurants and became the franchiser for 500 others.

McDonald’s outlets have been steady performers during the economic downturn as consumers “trade down” from pricier restaurant fare. The company also has been aggressively adding new items to its menus, many with local flavors, while expanding hours and benefiting from reduced pressure on labor costs.

Shares of McDonald’s, part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average /quotes/zigman/627449/delayed DJIA +0.92% , traded slightly higher to $77.11.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Itau BBA and CitiGroup are acting as joint book-runners for the Arcos Dorados offering.

ARGENTINIAN OPERATOR AND FRANCHISOR OF 1,755 MCDONALD'S FASTFOOD RESTAURANTS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN.

McDonald’s Restaurants in Latin America Evolve Menu 27/07/2011 10:05 (1 Day 03:52 minutes ago)

The FINANCIAL -- Buenos Aires, Argentina, July 26th, 2011 – Arcos Dorados, responsible for the operation of the McDonald’s brand in 19 countries and territories in Latin America, announced today a number of menu items’ evolution, in benefit of the nutritional composition of food for children and adults, offered at the restaurants it operates throughout the region.

These developments will start to be implemented in the Latin American countries managed by Arcos Dorados from October 1st and are part of the constant menu evolution that the brand has been building on, in the past years, as well as a reinforcement of its commitment to a good quality of life.

“This is a clear and firm demonstration of the high level of our evolving commitment with the welfare of our customers. Our company is committed to being at the forefront of the trends and preferences of society, and to do so, we want to be sure that we offer even more menu options that are aligned with a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Likewise, we will continue to support initiatives that promote physical activities,” said Woods Staton, President and CEO of Arcos Dorados.

New Happy Meal

The new version of the Happy Meal will now be composed of four items, with the addition of a serving of fresh fruit, which will change according to the season of the year.

All of the combinations of the four-item Happy Meal in Latin America will now have less than 600 calories, which equates to one third of the daily requirement for calories recommended by the WHO for children ages 6 to 10. For that, the company will implement a series of evolutions that will improve the nutritional profile of the Happy Meal:

A new size of French fries has been created exclusively for the Happy Meal, with an average of 100 calories, less than half of the previous calories amount.

McDonald’s restaurants in Latin America have also reduced the amount of sodium by an average of 10% in the buns, in the McNuggets, in the cheese and in the ketchup, improving the nutritional profile of the three Happy Meal options: Hamburger, Cheeseburger and McNuggets.

In addition, the amount of sugar added to the fruit juices will be reduced by almost 40%, reaching no more than 5gr of added sugar per 100ml.

With all of these innovations, the menu will have an enhanced nutritional composition, which is even more adequate to children: more vitamins and more fiber, with less sodium, less sugar and fewer calories, while maintaining the same great taste of McDonald’s menu items.

“We are very glad to learn about the reformulation of McDonald's / Arcos Dorados products in regards to the reduction of salt, sugar and calories per portion, and the increase of the use of fruits and vegetables in the children's menus. The changes just announced certainly seem to be going in the right direction", said James Hospedales, Senior Advisor of the Panamerican Health Organization’s Department of Control and Prevention of Chronical Diseases.

With all that, the Happy Meal will now be offered in the McDonald’s restaurants in Latin America in various combinations of four menu items, which the customers can decide for according to their preferences: a main item (Hamburger, Cheeseburger and McNuggets), a side (French fries or, in certain markets, another option of local vegetable), a drink (fruit juice of soda with or without calories), and a portion of seasonal fruit.

Adult Menu

Likewise, the other regular Combos will offer a new salad as an option for the side dish of sandwiches and beverages. The new side salad, that will have less than 10 calories without the dressing, will be a mix of green leaves and tomatoes. This will represent a reduction in the total of calories of an Extra Value Meal, compared to the choice of fries as the side option.
With sodium reduction in all its core sandwich buns, the cheese and the ketchup, McDonald’s is also reducing the amount of sodium in all its sandwiches on the core menu (including the Big Mac, the Quarter Pounder, the Hamburger, the Cheeseburger and the line of chicken sandwiches).

To assure that the menu items will keep the same delicious taste characteristics, the McDonald’s restaurants in Latin America have dedicated two years to research, with the support of its suppliers and, during 2011, has tested and validated this nutritional improvement with customers.

ARCO holding strong!

5-Star Stocks Poised to Pop: Arcos Dorados
Brian D. Pacampara - July 13, 2011

Based on the aggregated intelligence of 180,000-plus investors participating in Motley Fool CAPS, the Fool's free investing community, Arcos Dorados Holdings (NYSE: ARCO), which operates McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) franchises in South America, has earned a coveted five-star ranking.

With that in mind, let's take a closer look at Arcos Dorados' business and see what CAPS investors are saying about the stock right now.

Arcos Dorados facts

Swipe left/right to view wide tables
Headquarters (Founded) Buenos Aires, Argentina (2007)
Market Cap $2.8 billion
Industry Restaurants
Trailing-12-Month Revenue $3.17 billion
Management Chairman/CEO Woods Staton CFO German Lemonnier

Cash/Debt $141.2 million / $471.5 million
Competitors Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM)
Sources: Capital IQ (a division of Standard & Poor's) and Motley Fool CAPS.

On CAPS, 99% of the 152 members who have rated Arcos Dorados believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include TMFTypeoh and All-Star TMFBreakerForce.

Late last month, TMFTypeoh succinctly summed up the Arcos Dorados bull case: "Risky, but it's like investing in [McDonald's] 30 years ago. If it holds true, we've got a multibagger!"

Over the next five years, in fact, Arcos Dorados is expected to grow its bottom line at a brisk rate of 27% annually. That's much faster than other restaurant stocks like Yum! Brands (13%) and Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) (18%).

CAPS All-Star TMFBreakerForce expands on the outperform argument:

Arcos Dorados (Golden Arches) is the world's largest McDonald's Franchisee. They operate in all of South America, Parts of Central America, and the Caribbean.

The bought all of MCD's South American franchises for less than book value back in 2007. The company has turned around the underperforming business, and is improving margins. They currently operate over 1,700 chains. According to the prospectus, the company intends to open at least 250 new locations by 2013.

It is estimated that the company could open at least 5,000 chains in the next decade, as the economies in the major countries in South America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile) continue to improve.

They have some debt outstanding but generated almost $264 Million in Cash Flow from Operations in 2010, so meeting debt obligations will not be an issue.

Re Pasted ARCO CEO buying 2 million shares at IPO price

By Lynn Cowan
Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

The world's largest McDonald's Corp. (MCD) franchisee encountered supersized demand for its initial public offering Thursday, with the stock rising 24% in early trading.
Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (ARCO) opened at $21 a share on the New York Stock Exchange, up 23.6% from its initial public offering price of $17; shares were changing hands recently at $21.10, up 24%. A total of 73.5 million Class A shares, 11 million more than expected, were sold at a price above its expected $13 to $15 range.
Headquartered in Argentina but incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, Arcos Dorados holds the exclusive right to own, operate and grant franchises of McDonald's restaurants in 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. It's the largest fast food chain in that region, with 12% of systemwide sales in 2009, according to Euromonitor. Among the countries it operates in are Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Peru.
Latin America and the Caribbean are fast-growing areas for McDonald's as more people in that region gravitate towards fast food chains. Euromonitor estimated that the fast food segment there grew 97% from 2004 to 2009, 27 percentage points higher than the food service industry as a whole in those regions. The compound annual growth rate equates to 14.5%, well above the 3% seen in the U.S. fast food industry.
And among the chains in Latin America and the Caribbean, McDonald's rules, with nearly three times the sales of its closest competitor, Burger King, according to Euromonitor. Further expansion is a given: Arcos Dorados has committed to open at least 250 new restaurants from 2011 to 2013 under its agreement with McDonald's.
Of the total shares sold, the majority--50,000--came from prior owners, so those proceeds won't benefit the company. Sellers included Gavea Investment AD, LP, Capital International Private Equity Funds, DLJ South American Partners LP and DLJSAP Restco Co-investments LLC.
Arcos Dorados' largest shareholder, Chairman and Chief Executive Woods Staton, didn't sell any of his stake, and in fact purchased 2 million more shares at the IPO price. Staton, who continues to retain more than 75% of the voting control of the company post-IPO, was the president of McDonald's South Latin America division from 2004 until August 2007, when Arcos Dorados purchased McDonald's Latin American business.
The company expects to use most of its IPO proceeds for capital expenditures, including for opening and upgrading restaurants.
Total revenues rose throughout the economic downturn, increasing 13% to $3 billion in 2010. Although operating income declined 1% in 2010 compared to 2009, net income rose 32% to $106 million in 2010 as net interest expenses, derivative losses, foreign exchange and income tax expense went down. Comparative restaurant sales increased 15% in 2010 for both company-operated and franchised stores.
One of the biggest risks for Arcos Dorados is its operations in Venezuela, where it has 138 restaurants. The country's currency controls eroded its financial performance there, with Venezuelan revenue in 2010 declining to 6% from 17% of total company revenue in 2009, and net income declining to 2% from 9% in the same periods.
Arcos Dorados has also been engaged in tax disputes with Venezuelan tax authorities that resulted in temporary closures of its restaurants in 2005 and 2008. In addition, the country's current government has promoted increased state ownership of privately run businesses and corporations, so there's always a threat that Venezuela could try to transform McDonald's outlets into state-run entities
Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAC), J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Morgan Stanley (MS), Itau BBA USA Securities Inc. and Citigroup Inc. (C) managed the company's IPO.
