The market hit an intra-day all time high yesterday before plunging in red at the close. Value turnover also increased yesterday as investors tried to chase stocks. Amidst the optimism that is engulfing the market right now, I have a cautious approach on this bullish trend because of the Japan-Sino tug of war, and the US fiscal cliff. Anyway, any dips from the current prices is a welcome development for me as I will be able to buy stocks at my buy below prices.

BDO/MBT – the valuations remains attractive. The banks are an indirect play on the growth of every industry. As such, so long as the country’s economic fundamentals remain intact, banks are deemed to be a safe bet in the current economic cycles. Big banks like BDO and MBT play a crucial role in economic growth of the country. The current age of the population is very attractive for growth.


The only question I would like to know is what percentage do our banks exposure to Europe has? Recent reports said that our banks have ‘minimal’ exposure to Europe banks which is good but I’m not convinced until proper disclosures have been made by banks. A circular coming from BSP compelling the banks to disclose their exposure would be beneficial.

Banks will be required by BSP to report their exposure in the real estate industry starting Dec 31, 2012. This is a good start to somehow control the asset bubble in the real estate. Banks are allowed to loan maximum of 20% only of their portfolio in real estate.Malaya

ALI – the premier real estate developer in the country has valuations way beyond the others. ALI is a league of his own. The current P/E average of the real estate industry is only 10 while ALI treks at a P/E of more than 30. The distance between its competitors is just numbing. ALI has vast land banks which it can tap should the current demand overshoots the current supply of the residential and office units. ALI is at this stage on a very aggressive mode developing one project after the other.

The COA finally approved the Deed of Conditional Sale between Negros Occidental and Ayala Land involving 7.7 hectare of prime property.SunStar It is interesting to see the reaction of Ayala Land this given that they previously told the Negros government that it is engaging from the deal.

One of the good things about ALI is that it is one of the favorite stocks of foreign investors.

TEL – this is like a preferred stock. You get a 6-7% dividend per year with an upside in the appreciation of the stock. Bonds are currently trading at 5-6% which is at the low levels of the range. Analysts expect the interest rates to remain the same or go lower than the current rate in the foreseeable future. As such, I am favoring TEL as a substitute in the current interest rates with an upside of price appreciation. TEL net income expects it to be 37B this year. However, next year could be different as the company expects to hit the bottomline at more than 40B.

It has recently completed its major infrastructure upgrade that will enable it to handle data explosion. TEL still retains its market share in the telecom industry but it is slowly gaining foothold in the VOIP industry. TEL also has access in the information technology and I think this is where the growth of TEL will come. The telecom industry is matured already and growth is limited. The dividend is a testament to that.

PLDT will invest P560M to triple the capacity of its internet gateway- the network facility that handles internet traffic going to and from servers abroad. GMA News


AGI – together with wholly owned subsidiary New Town Land Partners exercised their right to buy 3.071B Megaworld warrants at P1 per share. Manila Standard

PGOLD – the consumer play. PGOLDs listing last year gave the investors an alternative to URC, SMC, AGI (partially), JFC and others. Indeed, since its listing last year, PGOLD has increased its stores nationwide and is still in expansion mode. It is planning to issue P8B of notes for its expansion.

My friend 'Jeff’ said that he likes PGOLD stores. PGOLD have a store in Arayat and he likes going in there. With this I am with the impression that PGOLD is a good buy but not at this level. A buy on dips is suggested.

If you live outside Philippines, perhaps you may want to check some details on one Puregold store here.

EDC – with all the brouhaha that is happening with EDC e.g. delays in rehab of geothermal machine, management credibility, etc. is an opportunity to buy at a lower price. Once the turbines are repaired and put into operations, the price will go back to its previous level.  

PHES – I’m all in. Obviously I have studied its financials and prospects. PHES is a turnaround company and asset play. The land values being reflected in the books are recognized at cost or NRV whichever is lower. Thus, it is fair to assume that PHES landbank are valued at cost because the Valenzuela property alone would be worth P3.2B at 10,000 per SQM. This will translate into 2.21 per share, a 216% increase!

Now, not all computations and assumptions are absolutely correct. That is why they are called assumptions. However, one must not look somewhere to determine the fair value of a company. 

PX – the permit for the second tailing pond must be secured first. Otherwise PX operation will hang and consequently there will be no revenue for the succeeding years. This permit is crucial. Right now, the hole is a bottomless pit and this stock may go lower until government permits and clearance are obtained.

Philex gets another week to respond to a notice imposing a P1.034B fine for its alleged violation of Philippine Mining Act of 1995 after failing to contain its Padcal mine's waste within its tailing facility.Bworldonline


BHI – The opening of Friday's resort hotel in Puerto Galera has been pushed back to February 2013, according to publicly listed Boulevard Holdings Inc.  (BHI). Hotel construction is now four weeks behind schedule due to inclement weather. Abs-Cbn

The Dow Jones succumbed to the bears the other day as the market reacted to the comments made by Philadelphia Fed President Charles Plosser that the QE3 will not do much to boost US growth and employment and it raises the risk of longer run inflation1.You mean, investors are going to reduce their investments because of a comment? Sheesh!  


Yesterday, the news was: Europe concerns weigh on Wall St. 3Europe woes has been lingering for years already. Are we born yesterday?

The news today is “World stock markets post modest gains as expectations rise China central bank to ease policy2. Stock market is just an up and down movement every day. The investors jumped in because China’s easing policy? Oh well…


One of the rules in investing is ignore the news 90% of the time. I am ignoring the news for the stocks we selected if it doesn’t have any relevance to the numbers.

Value of shares traded is P4.6B. Foreigners are net sellers worth P108M today.

BDO- the foreigners net bought P46M.

ALI- the foreigners net bought a paltry P2M.

PGOLD- the foreigners net bought a paltry P2M.

EDC- the foreigners net sold P13M.

Maybank increased the target price to 7.20 and still a buy5.

TEL - the foreigners net sold P311M. The selldown continues…

AGI – the foreigners net bought P160M. The buying spree continues...

AGI is targeting P10B profit this year. Yes, P10B profit not revenues, a 20% increase from previous years4. Moving forward, AGI is positioned to capitalize on the consumer centric economy of the Philippines.

Average P/E ratio for the past five years is 11.22. With P10B profit in Y2012, this will translate to 14.39 P/E ratios.

The runup of AGI from below 11 to near 15 is unprecedented with foreigners keeping the stock at a high level. The technicals suggest that AGI is overbought already and that the price may soon go back to sustainable levels.

At this point, AGI is already near its target price and a sell recommendation is being suggested. However, we are still monitoring this stock should it dip to our buy below price of 11 which at this time seems impossible to occur. Our fair value of 15 remains the same.

MBT - the foreigners net sold P54M.

MBT bounced back from its 130 day SMA and a buy signal is triggered. The buy below 94 still hold.

PX – the foreigners net sold P573K. The battered stock still down.
