Opinion
ALI is the largest and most diversified real estate company in the Philippines. As much as I wanted to put all the information about the Company in this blog, it will take more than 10 pages to put it here. I would suggest to go to their website as indicated in the source below to have a deeper understanding about their operations. For me, ALI is a brand of it's own. A company that sets the benchmark in almost every aspect of real estate industry.

The share price against it earnings is expensive. Investors are willing to put a premium to the price of it's share given it's vast knowledge and experience in real estate. Since the company has 4300 hectares of land bank, it is well position to capitalize on the hot property market in the next ten years. Net income has been growing every year except in Year 2009.

LOOK+UP%21%3A%29The net income for the 1st quarter is 1.6 billion pesos and it's well on it's pace to break it's previous net income record in Year 2010. Liquidity is not an issue also because the current ratio is 1.96:1 for the 1st quarter of Year 2011. The debt to equity ratio is also good at .53:1. Overall, ALI has huge cash in the coffers and can capitalize on every market opportunity.

Since the company is growing and with it's steady net income and on it's way of achieving it's 10 billion pesos net income target, it might be beneficial to include it in the stock portfolio.
