The Mexican government says the worst of the epidemic has passed and experts say the virus might be no more severe than normal flu. The government last week ordered all but the most essential economic activities halted until May 5 in a bid to stem the infection. However, if the country quickly goes back to business as usual, the sales dips seen by companies recently should quickly be ironed out, analysts say. Supermarkets and some other companies may benefit slightly from panic buying, but "it's much easier to find losers than winners," said Gonzalo Fernandez, an analyst at Santander.

The flu outbreak has savaged the tourism industry, which accounts for roughly 8 percent of Mexico's economy and is already suffering from a high-profile war between the government and violent drug gangs. The European Union, the United States and Canada have advised their citizens against nonessential travel to Mexico. Asur (ASURB.MX), which manages the airport at the popular Cancun beach resort, has almost certainly suffered along with its competitors as foreign tourists cancel vacations But other sectors should be less affected by the crisis. Mexicans fearing a prolonged outbreak crowded into supermarkets operated by Wal-Mart de Mexico (WALMEXV.MX), Soriana (SORIANAB.MX) and Comercial Mexicana (COMEUBC.MX) last week, clearing shelves of disinfectant, canned tuna and beans. That brief sales spike should be reflected in retailers' same-store results for April, although May sales might suffer as Mexicans use up goods they stockpiled the month before.
