PLDT maintained a strong market positioning, driven by its broadband segment and TNT mobile service. New opportunities are coming amidst the digital transformation and gradual economic recovery. It is trading below its historical average P/E and may rebound as shown by the DCF Model.
My rating for PLDT stays as a Buy, taking into consideration the improved competitive dynamics for the Philippine mobile market, and Maya Bank's positive cash flow and earnings in Q2. PLDT's wireless business segment has seen an increase in Q2 ARPU as the competitive environment became more favorable, and this bodes well for the mobile business' financial prospects. Maya Bank has reached a profitability inflection point, which enhances PLDT's overall earnings outlook and increases the probability of a future IPO for the digital banking arm.
If you are looking for stocks that are well positioned to maintain their recent uptrend, PLDT (PHI) could be a great choice. It is one of the several stocks that passed through our "Recent Price Strength" screen.

PLDT recently disclosed that it is considering the monetization of its data center business, which I view as a favorable corporate development. Assuming that PHI does sell a stake of its data center operations, this could possibly translate into lower financial leverage and a fast paced growth for the data center business. I upgrade my rating for PLDT to a Buy, after considering the positives associated with the data center asset monetization plan.
