  • New home revenue and rental revenue grew by 64% YoY and 94% YoY in 1Q25.

Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE PM): Inflection In Q1 2025, More Catalysts To Come

By Sameer Taneja

  • Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE PM) reported an encouraging Q1 2025 with revenue/operating income up 82%/72% YoY, buoyed by the acquisition of PDS. 
  • Despite acquiring 91.6% of PDS (as of 15 May 2025), the company has net cash and investments of 4.8 bn pesos, representing more than 30% of its current market capitalization. 
  • Trading at 13x PE, with a >6% forward dividend yield, and ex-cash ROCE>20%, the stock is cheap. We believe there is a long runway for growth with multiple catalysts.

By Devi Subhakesan

  • Reported surge in listing interest on SGX (SGX SP) driven by escalating U.S.- China trade tensions and associated geopolitical uncertainties.
  • Singapore’s proactive policy toolkit announced in February 2025  offer issuers both cost savings and regulatory certainty and could play a role in attracting more companies to list in Singapore.
  • An uptick in listings on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) can set off a virtuous cycle, strengthen valuation multiples  and lead to upward revisions to 2026 earnings forecasts.
