Col Report

The Philippine stock market experienced significant volatility in early 2024, with the PSEi index initially rising but later erasing gains due to persistent inflation and disappointing central bank actions. Despite these challenges, the market's long-term fundamentals remain strong, with expectations of 5.8% GDP growth this year and minimal risk of a banking crisis. Recommendations include focusing on defensive sectors and undervalued stocks, particularly in banking and utilities, while being cautious of cyclical sectors affected by high inflation and interest rates.

I Philippine Equity Research COLing the Shots

The Philippine market suffered from significant volatility during the first four April Tan, CFA

months of the year. After rising by as much as 8.2%, the PSEi index erased almost
all its gains for 2024 before rebounding to end the month of April higher by 4.9%
for the year-to-date period. A monthly publication

successful investing.
inflation remains sticky due to the significant increase in rice prices and the
rebound of oil prices. A possible Php100 increase in daily minimum wages later
this year would also push up inflation. Because of this, the BSP already said it
might delay rate cuts from the second half of this year to the first quarter of next
year. The Fed is also now expected to cut rates only once this year, much less
than the market’s initial expectations of six to seven times, as inflation in the U.S.
is also showing signs of stickiness.

Due to the said developments, the Philippine 10-year bond rate increased by 101
basis points for the year-to-date period to 7.01%, while the peso depreciated by
4.2% to 57.675. Higher interest rates and a weak peso are negative for the stock
market.

However, neither do we see a risk of significant weakness as the Philippine


market’s long-term fundamentals remain attractive. The Philippines also has
qualities that make it stand out compared to other ASEAN markets. For example,
the Philippine economy is more resilient to a global economic slowdown as
consumer spending accounts for more than 70% of GDP, while OFW remittances
and BPO revenues have historically been resilient to global recessions. The
Philippines’ favorable demographics should also support economic growth.

Because of this, the Philippines is expected to deliver one of the fastest GDP
growths among ASEAN member countries at 5.8% this year.

Meanwhile, the risk of a banking crisis or massive defaults is minimal. Banks are
strong, with high capital adequacy ratios, low non-performing loans with high
levels of coverage, and high levels of liquidity. Listed companies are also liquid
and not over leveraged.

Finally, the stock market is already in the late stages of a bear market as evidenced
by very low trading volumes and very cheap valuations. Average daily value
turnover is less than half of what it was during the market’s peak. Meanwhile, the
PSEi index is trading at only 11X P/E, more than 2 standard deviations below its
10-year historical average. There are also numerous share buybacks and insider
buying activities.

We continue to recommend stocks belonging to more defensive sectors (power,


telcos, utilities) as high inflation and interest rates should continue to hurt
earnings of companies belonging to more cyclical sectors. However, we like the
big three banks, and recommend buying them on corrections as they are reaping
the benefits of their size and their prudent lending practices in the past.

Although companies belonging to more cyclical sectors will be hurt by high


inflation and interest rates, some listed companies have more defensive qualities
and are trading at valuations that are too cheap to ignore. SMPH is one of those
companies and we are adding it to our COLing the Shots stock picks list. Note
that around 60% of SMPH’s operating profits come from the mall leasing business,
making it more resilient to economic weakness. Moreover, SMPH is now trading
at only 17X P/E, more than 2 standard deviations below its 10-year historical
average earnings multiple.
