PCOMP faces headwinds from oil Calendar of Events

Week in review Date Event
 The PCOMP ended at 7,992.32, up 0.7% w-w, buoyed by some optimism on Sept 16 July OFW Remittances
US-China trade talks and European Central Bank’s monetary easing. Foreign
funds turned net buyers (USD8mn) for the first time in five weeks. Sept 17 Cash dividends ex-date: SMC
 An attack on an important Saudi oil facility over the weekend however, as per
reports could disrupt almost half of Saudi oil capacity. A spike in oil prices could Sept 19 August overall BOP position
reverberate across markets, and the focus will now be on how quickly lost
production can be restored and the geopolitical implications. Sept 26 BSP Monetary Board meeting

 The Philippines is a net energy importer and is historically poorly positioned to
deal with rising oil prices. Based on Nomura’s estimates, it would take an
Best Performers w-w %
average of USD90/barrel for oil prices to become a threat to inflation. Philippines
also underperforms EM when oil prices rise. AP PM 7.0%
 Investors looking into longer term, secular growth story may consider buying into
infrastructure-related conglomerates (MPI, AC, AEV) and property names (ALI, BPI PM 6.0%
MEG and SMPH) which are also beneficiaries of improved infrastructure.
Stocks to watch TEL PM 5.2%
 AP was the top gainer for the week. The stock continues to be our top pick in
the utilities space as defensive and yield characteristics are complemented by JGS PM 4.9%
growth potential resulting from a pipeline of new genco developments.
DMC PM 4.2%
 TEL was up 5.2% w-w as investors remain optimistic that sustained data trends
can translate healthy earnings growth. Moreover, company’s dominant position Source: Bloomberg
in the fixed-line segment (~50% of revenues) should help manage competitive
pressure from third telco player. Our DCF-determined TP of PHP1,420 still
Worst Performers w-w %
implies 18% upside potential. Maintain Buy.
 We upgraded DMC to a Buy last week as we feel that value has emerged
following its 28% YTD sell-down. We expect better performance from DMCI LTG PM -3.7%
Homes and its construction arm moving forward as it benefits from more project
launches and the ongoing ramp up in infrastructure spending, respectively. The
CHP PM -3.2%
two segments constitute 31% of DMC NAV in aggregate. JFC PM -3.0%
 LTG pulled-back last week (-3.7% w-w) as the market pared gains from the week
prior. We believe this presents a buying opportunity for the stock as it only trades SM PM -3.0%
at 8.9x FY19F PER (vs 15.4x peer ave) with discount to NAV at 35%. The
company recently instituted tobacco selling prices which should allow it to pass- PGOLD PM -2.7%
on the excise taxes that are slated for next year.
 We expect SM to continue being range-bound barring any new catalysts. The Source: Bloomberg
stock continues to be expensive at a 26.8x FY19F PER. We believe SMPH offers
better upside as the developer continues to benefit from increasing urbanization Blo Actively Traded (PHPbn)

trends across the country.
 We expect CHP (-3.2% w-w) to continue to be volatile until details over its
SM PM 2.02
pursued stock rights offering are definite. We remain Neutral on the stock due to
continued uncertainties over its balance sheet and its planned plant expansion. ALI PM 1.72
 The sell-off in JFC (down 3% w-w) appears warranted, in our view. The stock is
still trading at steep valuations of 42x FY19F PER despite poor earnings visibility SMPH PM 1.62
in FY19/20F. Maintain Reduce with TP of PHP230.50.
 The share price weakness of PGOLD (-2.7% w-w) provides a buying BPI PM 1.34
opportunity, in our view. We think falling inflation trends should bode well for the
retailer given that its flagship Puregold format accounts for ~59% of profits. At JFC PM 1.31
16x FY20F PER, the stock still trades at an attractive 20% discount to ASEAN
retailers (20x FY20F PER) despite a similar EPS growth outlook vs peers. Source: Bloomberg
