AI summaryOct 12 close

This week brings several developments for PLDT. The company completed full ownership of Radius Telecoms after a ₱2.935 billion acquisition, strengthening its position in the Philippine telecommunications market, while PLDT and Smart partnered with Capillary Technologies to unify loyalty programs across mobile, broadband and partner platforms. On the less favorable side, PLDT postponed the REIT listing of its data center business, Vitro REIT, from the fourth quarter of 2026 to 2027, citing current market conditions and rising interest rates that threaten the P24.2-billion offering's valuation. A director's resignation was also announced, tied to changes in Social Security Commission board seat assignments.

PLDT closed at $18.77, up 2%, sitting between its 50-day average of $18.50 and 200-day average of $20.16, with returns of 1.5% over one month and -8.3% over six months. The GekkoIndex reads 54.1, placing the stock in the Neutral zone. Price sits 26% below Gekko Fair Value of $25.37.

Over the next 20 trading days, PLDT reports earnings on 10 November, 29 days away, falling inside this typical holding window; the last quarter saw EPS of $0.57 against an estimate of $0.66, with a -1.5% reaction. No insider, Congress or unusual options activity appears in the respective 90-day and 30-day windows.
