- 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.
