"We are concerned that the pricing pressure Cree faces in the LED component business could persist in the next few quarters," says Needham's Edwin Mok, downgrading Cree (CREE -2.6%) to Hold in response to its FQ1 warning. The cut follows a Thursday downgrade from Oppenheimer. Mok argues the LED industry's continued shift to mid-power products (often used for indoor lighting) will take a toll on Cree until its investment/supply deal with mid-power Taiwanese LED chipmaker Lextar begins bearing fruit. "Thank goodness we downgraded!," exclaims Summit Research's Srini Sundararajan about his August ratings cut. He thinks Cree's warning and cautious FQ2 remarks suggest it has lost a client, and is skeptical GE, Samsung, or Philips (often brought up in M&A rumors) will want to buy the company. Canaccord's Jonathan Dorsheimer maintains a Buy, but has cut his target by $23 to $41. He suspects Cree's mid-power issues are compounded by a loss of high-end share, and questions the wisdom of its vertical integration strategy (could be upsetting chip/component buyers). Gabelli's Hendi Susanto remains a believer. "We believe LED lighting is still [well-positioned] to gain market adoption in the long run ... For a vertically integrated market leader in the LED industry, we view CREEs valuation is appealing, 9.0x EV/EBITDA based on our 2016 estimates." Share this with a colleague

Singaporean Theodore Chan cant help but comment about the ubiquitousness of the Filipino overseas worker. You guys are all over, he chuckled good-naturedly.
He meant that in a positive way. The president of the Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA), and the director of CIAP Architects Pte. Ltd., hastily added that he had nothing but admiration for the skills and knowhow of Filipinos, especially in the architectural field.
Singaporean architects have taken interest in the Philippines because a lot of your architects work in our offices. I would say that 90 percent of our workforce in Singapore are dependent on foreign technical expertise, and of which maybe 70 percent are of Filipino origins, Chan told Inquirer Property during a panel discussion on Sept. 9 at the Masters Hall of Yuchengco Museum in Makati. The panel also consisted of other leading Singaporean and Filipino architects.
Under the theme Forefront of Asias Architecture: From Local to Global, the Filipino and Singaporean groups have been planning a platform to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and insights. Topics of the day included key challenges brought about by globalization, international trends, best practices vis--vis the broader topic of the 2015 Asean integration, and what it means for Filipino architects. It also highlighted the breadth and range of upcoming design-centric events happening throughout the year in Singapore.
The Singaporean group was led by Tai Lee Siang, president of Design Business Chamber Singapore and group managing director of Ong&Ong Pte. Ltd., and Andrew Phua, director for exhibitions and conferences of the Singapore Tourism Board. Organized by the Singapore Exhibition and Convention Bureau (SECB) and BluPrint, Chan and the two other experts shared their insights on the regions biggest trends and most pressing challenges faced in architecture and design today.
With literally hundreds of projectslocal and internationalshared between the two countries, the Philippines own Carmelo Casas, principal architect of the Casas+Architects, and Abelardo Tolentino Jr., principal architect of Aidea Philippines, rounded up the panel of Filipino experts in an open industry forum which was facilitated by Toni Vasquez, chief operations officer of TI Vasquez Architects & Planners Inc.
In the field of architecture, globalization and the inevitable sharing of expertise across borders have long been happening. In fact, what is being discussed lately is how to improve the sharing of expertise, Chan revealed.
He added that Filipinos working in architects offices in Singapore are licensed and trained architects. They work in Singapore to do support work to help us document, elaborate and develop our designs. Because of licensing issues, however, they cannot call themselves architects in Singapore, Chan disclosed. Regardless, they are experts in their design and computer fields, which are very much in demand in Singapore.
Not enough local chances

Rick Kuhle (left) speaks about retail development as Kemper Freeman looks on.
SAN DIEGOWhile retail developers are busier than they were a few years ago, theyre still doing more redevelopment and repositioning of existing shopping centers than ground-up construction, said panelists at ICSC Western Division Conferences general session yesterday. The panel was titled, Development is Revving Up, but speakers said theres still too much available retail space on the market to warrant new ground-up development.
Moderator Kevin MacKenzie, senior managing director of HFF LP, said that on the spectrum of retail centers, outlet centers are the furthest along in the development cycle, while power centers are seeing the least amount of development nationally. Rick Kuhle, chairman and CEO of Vestar, noted that an increase in pension fund money going to real estatea new allotment from 6% to 10% among pension funds around the worldwhich will drive cap rates down. But, he added, pension funds will be the most aggressive buyers out there.
When asked which markets the panelists were focusing on in the West Coast and why, Kuhle said his firm targets markets where they can be the dominant center in that area in their subspecialty. He added, Our geographic diversity is that of our partnersthose are the areas in which they want to participate. Brad Geier, managing partner of Merlone Geier Patners, said his firm targets markets that are supply constrained with barriers of entry and infill locations within those markets.
Comparing this development cycle to the previous one, the panelists were cautious. Jeffrey Berkes, president, West Coast, of Federal Realty Investment Trust, said, Theres too much retail space in the US right now; its early on in the cycle, and Kemper Freeman, president/partner of Bellevue Square Managers Inc., added, We have a conservative standard for growth.
Kuhle said, Redevelopment has taken off over the last two years, and its in full swing, and other panelists agreed that redevelopment is strong, but ground-up development has not yet hit its stride because of the amount of space still available.
The panelists also agreed that mixed-use space is getting stronger for retail uses and that retail helps pull in apartment, hotel, theater, restaurant and even office users and drives up rents in most of those product types. The synergy of uses makes each of the components run better, said Geier.
Berkes said executing the ground floor of a mixed-use development correctly is the driver of its success. Above-retail space gets a 20% to 25% premium over what you would get down the street. He added since experts in most other property types dont know how to execute retail components, retail experts can have a leg up and create value in these developments.
In addition, the panelists agreed that todays retailers are finding a balance between online and bricks-and-mortar sales and using them in tandem rather than one fighting the other. Apple is the best retailer in the world, said Freeman, adding that on a recent Saturday afternoon at 2:00, he noticed a 1:1 employee-to-customer ratio in his local Apple store, which was hopping with customers.
Freeman noted that bricks-and-mortar retailers need to provide the customer with a great, emotionally fulfilling experience, and Berkes added, People are still social creatures. You must create some place people want to go, with ample parking, thats clean, exciting and different. Pick retailers that embrace that. Be a differentiated shopping experience; you cant be a commodity anymore.
