We award a narrow economic moat rating to Femsa based on the intangible assets and cost advantages at major subsidiaries Coca-Cola Femsa and the Oxxo small-format retail chain, which jointly make up 75% of the firm's total sales and 90% of operating profits.
Oxxo dominates the convenience store market in Mexico, with an attractive return profile and plenty of room to expand the store base.
Femsa will face stringent business regulations and high costs of labor and real estate in Europe as it looks to turn around the newly acquired Valora convenience chain.
